T^NIOPSIS. (See « Ferns of Southern India/' p. 18.) 



I/ENIOPSIS AmBOINENSIS (Fee.) " Fronds smooth, submembranaceous, falcate acuminate tapering below into a 

 petiole, costa slender, disappearing below the apex, veins curved equal approximate, sori closely marginal, cuticle of the margin resem- 

 bling a false involucre, caudex flexuose, contorted jicaly, scales cancellate, rigidly toothed at the margin."— Hook, Sp. Fil. v. 177. Fee. 

 Vittar.p. 44, t. I,/. 1. 



The veins are combined where fertile by an intra-marginal vein which runs along the centre of the receptacle^ I could not,, how- 

 ever make out from my solitary specimen if this vein is present where the frond or portion of the frond is sterile, 



The specimen figured is from Birmah— (Parish.)
