Hemionitis pumila trifolia vel quinquefolia maritima D. 

 Lloyd. Mules Fern with trefoi! or quinquepartite leaves. 



Plantula eit palmaris, capillarem fe prima facie agnofcens: 

 foliis tamen non ut in reliquis capillaribus alterno ordine co- 

 ftx adnatis , fed plerunque finguhribus, fummis pediculis 

 (qui triunciales fere funt, exiies & flexilesj infidentibus, cre- 

 bns venulis infigniter exsratis. Ex his juniora integra funt 

 & icre rotunda, nonnunquam etiam bipartita ; adulta vero 

 Hepatic.e nobiiis adinitar trifoliata, iis tamen minora & mut- 

 t6 tenuiora, fed &non rard quinquefariam Pentaphylli mo- 

 do divifa. fydix qualis reliquis capillaribus fui moduii, ri- 

 gidiufculis fibrillis compofita. Hemionitu, quod fterilis vi- 

 dcbatur, mihi didta eft potius quam Adiantum, ideo quod 

 nuiius in averfa toliorum parte pulvifculus comparuit obfer- 

 vanti in menfibus julio, Augufto & Septembri. An juxta 

 mare femper provenut, adeoque maritima jure merito di- 

 cenda iit dubito ; hactenus autem nufquam vidimus quam
