29- T. rigidum Sw. Abundant on the forest floor at consid- 

 erable elevations. An exceedingly stiff species, curling 

 back to its original form as soon as the pressure is re- 

 moved from it, although perfectly dry. (46). 

 SCHIZ^ACE^. 



Anemia Sw. 



30. A./ii'rtaSw. Along roadsides in moist soil. Cedar Val- 



ley, not common. (167). 



31. A. hirsnta Sw. Abundant along roadsides in the driest 



situations. Collected at Gordon Town and elsewhere. 

 (39)- 



32. A. adiantifolia Sw. Very abundant along roadsides and 



on rocky banks. (166). 

 Lygodium Sw. 



33. L. volubile Sw. Mansfield. This plant climbs to the 



height of thirty feet or more, the stems giving off fre 

 quent branches which form thick tangles over trees and 

 bushes. With this was collected a form with narrow, 

 tapering, acute pinnules, the fertile ones with the sori 

 borne on the inner two-thirds, in longer marginal spike- 

 lets than in the normal form. It appears to connect 

 this species with L. venustum, also of Jamaica. I 

 would call it variety angustu?n. (282).
