A. resectum, Sm., var. amcenum, Presi. (as a species). 
A tufted glabrous fern with simply pinnate fronds mostly below 
1 ft. high including the slender stipes, and 2-4} in. broad at 
the base, gradually narrowed towards the top, mostly bulbifer- 
ous near the apex. Pinne lanceclate, unequal-sided, the upper 
side broadly cuneate at the base, the lower side narrowly 
cuneate and sometimes slightly cut away, bluntly toothed or 
lobed on beth sides, the incisions shallow towards the point of 
the pinne, deeper near the base and cut down on the upper 
side, nearly or quite to the rhachis in the lowest one or two 
pairs of pinne leaving thus asingle pinnule on the base of the 
lowest pinne of the larger fronds. Texture thinly coriaceous. 
Veins very oblique, forked. Sori in an irregular line on each 
side of the midrib, the indusium opening towards the midrib.—
