POLYPODIACE.E. 221 



In the vicinity of Sydney we found this species in considerable 

 abundance on what is called "the north shore," inhabiting rocky 

 situations ; the soil in which it grew consisting of sharp white sand 

 and vegetable earth in about equal proportions.

Lindscea trichomanoides, Dryand. in Linn. Trans. 3, p. 43, t. 11; Sw. Syn. Fil. p.

 Hook. Spec. Fil. 1, p. 218. 



Hab. Vicinity of the Bay of Islands, New Zealand ; frequent. 



Of this, fronds are to be met with, arising from the same root- 

 stock, which accord equally well with the description of L. Lessonii of 

 Bory, in Hooker's Species Filicum, as with that of L. trichomanoides of 

 Dryander, of the same work; the lower part of the fronds being 

 either bi- or tripinnate, while they are simply pinnate towards the 

 point; the pinnae oblong-lanceolate, and with the pinnules cuneate 

 at the base : yet the greater part of our specimens agree with 

 Dryander's figure above-cited.
