Type from Venezuela: Caracas, leg. BREDEMEYER (Herb. Willd. nr. 19701. B!). 
I give a detailed description of this species, which is the most common of a 
group of closely allied species. My description is drawn up chiefly after the original 
specimen that consists of an upper and a lower part of a pinna (the same?) and 
after complete leaves, which exactly agree with the type-specimen. 
Caudex not seen, said to be erect, stout, with long, castaneous scales at the 
crown, somewhat epigeous. Stipe 50cm or more long, up to 1’/2 cm thick, terete, 
channelled above, fuscous, or brownish-stramineous, at base densely, upwards gra- 
dually less scaly. Scales 1—3 cm long, castaneous, glossy, eee lon
