75. Nephrodium (Lastrea), sp. 



Matabele Land. 



There are five small fronds, varying from 7-10 inches high, with 

 the pinnae gradually reduced below as in N. Bergianum, Baker, and 

 which in other respects do not appear to differ from this species. 

 They are from a young seedling plant, one of them having the rhizome 

 attached ; but in this immature state it is impossible to be quite 

 certain of its identity. I cannot match it with any other species. 

 Even N. Bergiamcm Mr. Baker thinks may yet prove to be only a 

 variety of N. patens, Desv. 



76. Nephrolepis cordifolia, Presl. 

 Matabele Land. 



Tj. Nephrolepis exaltata, Schott. 

 Matabele Land. 



78. Mohria Caffrorum, Desv. 



Between Pietermaritzburg and the Crocodile River.
