Eff. Ch. Fruftification in fcattered oblique lines, accom- 

 panying a vein. Involucrum vaulted, originating laterally 



ALL 



from the vein, and inferted into it by both margins ; J. 

 length feparating at the inner one. 



The habit of this genus, fays Mr. Brown, is between 

 Nephrodium and DiPLAZiUM. ( See thofe articles. ) Poly- 

 podium umlrofum, Hort. Kcw. ed. I, affords an example of 

 it, and there are fome unpubliflied fpecies. The cylindrical 

 involucrum prohibits its union with Afpidium or Athyrium of 

 various authors, and that membrane, being inferted by both 

 margins into the fame vein, and truly burlling, differs from 

 the involucrum of Afplenium, whofe upper edge is not con- 

 nefted with the frond. 



We feleft the examples indicated by the author, not being 

 quite fatisfied of the limits of this genus, which is reduced to 

 Afpidium in the fecond edition of Hort. Kew. poflibly not 

 with Mr. Brown's concurrence, his mod indubitable genus of 

 WooDsiA (fee that article) being Hkewife there rejefted. 



V/e are pofliefied of many, perhaps of all, the nondefcript 

 Allantodi£ of which he fpeaks. To thefe fome other Afpidia 

 of Hort. Kew. may be akin ; but A. amulum, placed next 

 to umbrofum, is not one of them, any more than a few of the 

 neighbouring fpecies, referred by the writer of this article to 

 Cyathea in Fl. Brit, whofe involucrum furely does not anfwer 

 to the above character, their fori being orbicular.

 dium umbrofum ; ed. 2. v. 5. 513. Willd. Sp. PI. v. 5. 

 283. A. axillare ; Schkuhr Crypt, t. 61.) — Frond triply- 

 pinnate ; ultimate fegments lanceolate, decurrent, deeply 

 fcrrated ; the lower ferratures cloven. Lines contiguous ; 

 finally confluent. — Gathered in (hady woods in Madeira, by 

 the late Mr. Maffon, who fent roots to Kew, in 1779, and 

 gave fpecimens to the younger Linnaeus. An elegant finely 

 divided fern, about three feet high, with rougliiih jlalks. 

 Leaflets two or three inches long, and nearly one broad, 

 pointed, pinnatifid almoil to the mid-rib ; the fegments nu- 

 merous, parallel, oblong, obtufe, decurrent, veiny, fmooth, 

 of a fine green ; mofl^ ferrated at their extremity and upper 

 margin ; one or two of the lower ferratures often cloven at. 

 the point. Lines mod copious about the lower part of each 

 leaflet. Capfules brown. Involucrums pale, variouily torn 

 and reflexed. 



A. auftralts. Southern Saufage-fern. Br. n. i. — 

 Frond doubly pinnate, deltoid, membranous, flaccid. 

 Leaflets pinnatifid, tapering at the point ; lobes oblong,

 long Native of Van Diemen's ifland. 



A. ienera. Tender Saufage-fern. Br. n. 2. — Frond 

 doubly pinnate, membranous, flaccid. Leaflets pinnatifid ; 

 lobes oblong, obtufe, ferrated, flowering at the bafe. Spots 

 linear. — Gathered by Mr. Brown, in the neighbouriiood of 

 Port Jackfon, New South Wales. 



The Afpidium axillare, WA\A. Sp. PL v. 5. 278. Ait. 

 ed. 2. V. 5. 512, fliould feem, if the fpecific character of 

 Willdenow were right, to belong to the prefent genus. But 

 we fufpeft that charafter to have been taken from fome- 

 thing elle. ^\\e fori are by no means redi, or ftraight, but 

 remarkably recurved, much beyond kidney-fliaped, finally 

 afiuming almofl; the peltate form of a real Afpidium. In an 

 early ftate indeed they arc ftraight ; but the inner margin is 

 loofe, dilated, and fringed. In habit nothing can be more 

 clofely allied to Allantodia umbrofa than this Afpidium 

 axillare.
