Hab. On Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii, Sandwich Islands. 



Our plant does not differ in any perceptible character from that of 

 Demarara, figured in Hooker and Greville's Icones Filicum. About 

 Koloa, on the island of Kauai, we found it inhabiting low and undu- 

 lating pasture lands ; and on the mountains of Maui, it was detected 

 at the elevation of from 6,000 to 8,000 feet.

Hab. Island of Madeira : on the slopes of the Pico Ruivo. 



The peduncle of the spike in the Madeira plant, is a little longer, 

 compared with the length of the frond, than is usually the case in the 

 European plant.
