Lonchitis L. 



81. L. aurita L. One of the rarest of Jamaican ferns. Gath- 



ered by Nock in 18S0 and not since seen until collect- 

 ed by William Harris, Esq., in 1898. In the damp 

 forest in sphagnum beyond New Haven Gap. (103). 

 Lomaria Willd. 



82. L. attenuata Willd. A curious fern with long slender 



erect trunk supported by clinging to trees. Fronds 

 in circular tufts at top. Common in mountain for- 

 ests. Morce's Gap. (81). 



83. L. procera Spreng. Common on wayside banks. Cin- 



chona. (71). 

 Blechnum L. 



84. B. Occident ale L. One of the most abundant of ferns, found 



from sea-level to the top^ of the mountains, often 

 completely covering wayside banks. (41). The va- 

 riety minor Hook, was collected at Cinchona. 

 Asplenium L. 



85. A. scrratujn L. In crotches of trees spreading in broad 



vase form and resembling the Bromelias with which 

 it dwells. Above Moore Town. (148). 



86. A. pnmilum Sw. On dry banks, tolerably common. 



Gordon Town. Quite inspicuous. Grows with Gymno. 

 grammarufa and Hemionitis pa/mata,both of which 

 it resembles in the texture of frond. (330). 



87. A. parvulum Mart. & Gale. Common on rocks and in 



the chinks of stone walls. This seems to have been 

 mistaken for both A. trichomanes and A. ebeneum 

 by collectors in Jamaica. 



88. A. monanthemum L. Latimer River, not common. This 



fern has the habit of producing new plants on the 

 rachises after the pinnules have fallen. (145).
