Bly oo Leaflets linear-lanceolate, acute, fimple, clo- 
va palmate or pinnatifid. Gathered by Sonnerat inthe 
ef Medes and Bourbon, and communicated by Thou- 
- the younger Linnzus, who candidly obferves that 
“it but illagrees with the generic character of Acrofficum, 
but that its fru@ification comes forth as in A. /eptentrionale 
and auftrale.” s is correct, if the direCtion in which 
the cover feparates be overlooked, and this no one had then 
thought of. The frond has a broadifh-lanceolate, pointed 
form, and is doubly pinnate. Its primary divifions are op- 
pofite, fomewhat crowded, linear-lanceolate, taper-pointed, 
fubdivided into numerous alternate /eaflets, of which the up- 
permoft are linear-lanceolate, acute, undivided; the next 
eloven ; thofe frill nearer the bafe palmate or pinnatifid, all 
— folitary in each -leaflet 
or fegment, very long and narro Sometimes the feeds 
germinate, upon the plant, and one inverfely-heart fhaped 
feed lobes are very apparent. 8. D, cicutaria. (D. tripin-

each confifts, at a very moderate computation, of at leaft a

tity of feeds produced by each plant will be found fo im- 
menfe, that if they and their offspring were to increafe for 
a few years at the fame rate, the land of the whole globe 
would be covered with this fern, as, according to Linnzus’s 
computation, the offspring of one haddock would in twenty
