POLYBOTRYA, (See " Ferns of Southern India/ 5 p. 66.) 



POLYBOTRYA APPENDICUL ATA. Var: y- /3 costulata. (Hook.) Sterile pinnae deeply pinnatifid |-f of tie way to the 

 rachis, costulate with simple patent veins, lowest pair of pinnae half -deltoid, bi-pinnate at the base, pinnules 1| to 3| inches long, deeply 

 pinnatifid, like the primary pinnae, fertile pinnae also with the lower pair in like manner pinnated as in the sterile fronds. — (Hook) 



The specimen figured is from Moulmein, from Mr. Parish, who informs me that he considers it quite distinct as a species from 

 B. appendiculata, of which, however, Sir W. Hooker considers it a variety only — it is a beautifully delicate plant. 



Hab, Moulmein.
