often fin. long and Jin. broad, nearly uncut. The fertile portion is 

 composed of contracted segments disposed in a loose panicle 4in. to 9in. long, 

 and borne on a stalk only lin. to 2in. in length. See Plate. — Hooker,

A. trich.orh.iza — trich-o-rhi'-za (having hair-like roots), Gardner. 



A very distinct, stove species, native of Brazil. Its fronds, produced from 

 a crown covered with a dense tuft of bright red-brown scales of a particularly 

 fibrillose (hair-like) nature, are borne on stipes (stalks) lin. to 2in. long, 

 densely covered on their whole length with a white substance of a woolly 

 nature. Their barren portion, 2in. to 3in. long, lin. to ljin. broad, and 

 bipinnate (twice divided to the midrib), is furnished with spreading, spear- 

 shaped, closely-set pinnae (leaflets), subdivided into several close, roundish or 

 oblong pinnules (leafits) of a leathery texture, both sides of which when 

 young are completely enveloped in dense, wool-like material. The nearly 

 stalkless fertile portion is disposed at the base of the barren one. — Hooker, 

 Synopsis Filicum, p. 434. 



A. (Anemidictyon) Tweediana — An-e'-mid-ic'-ty-on • Tweed-l-a'-na 

 (Tweed's), Hooker. 



This stove species, of particularly small dimensions, is a native of 

 Uruguay and South Brazil. Its short fronds, borne on naked or very slightly 

 hairy stipes (stalks), have their barren portion l£m. to 2in. long by lin. 

 broad, and simply pinnate (once only divided to the midrib) : they are 

 furnished with two or three pairs of sessile pinna? (stalkless leaflets) of 

 almost leathery texture, oblong in shape, fin. long, Jin. broad, with rounded 

 base, blunt point, and edge conspicuous through its round notches. The 

 fertile portion is composed of contracted, short segments disposed in a panicle 

 lin. to 2in. only in length, with lower branches very short, and borne 

 on a stalk not more than 2in. high, generally shorter. — Hooker, Synopsis 

 Filicum, p. 434. 



A. Yillosa — vil-lo'-sa (hairy). Synonymous with A. tomentosa. 



A. (Coptophyllum) Wrightii— Copt-oph-yl'-lum ; Wright'-i-i, Baker. 



This stove species, which in general habit is somewhat like A. cuneata, 

 or like a small, slender form of A. adiantifolia, is a native of Cuba. It has
