glabrous, 3-7 in. 1. lj-2in. w. glabrous or sprinkled beneatb witb very 

 minute speck-like scales ; veins patent, J-l li. apart, simple and forked, 

 evident ; fertile fronds much reduced, less decurrent, on much longer 

 slender stipites overtopping the sterile. — Fee Mem. pL 5, fig 2. 

 Infrequent in mountain forests of St. Andrew at 2,000 3,000 ft. alti- 

 tude. Differs from conforme and other allied species by the decurrent 

 base of the fronds which wings with membrane the upper part of the 

 petioles, and by the smaller long petioled fertile fronds which are pro- 

 jected quite above the tops of the sterile ones. 



6. A, viridi folium, Jenm. — Rootstock short, rather stout, oblique or 

 decumbent, densely clothed with small feruginous linear scales : stipites 

 subtufted, erect straminous, 1-3 in. 1. channelled ; fronds linear-lan- 

 ceolate, 7 - 9 in. 1. 1 - IJ in. w. tapering both up and down, but more 

 downwards and passing insensibly into the petiole, the apex pointed but 

 obtuse, glabrous, but with laxly scattered very minute peltate scales 

 over the underside, coriaceous, bright green ; margin even or repand ; 

 veins fine, close, once forked, nearly concealed : fertile fronds much nar- 

 rower, nearly or quite as long, on stipites twice as long, — Journ. Bot. 

 1886, p. 273. 



This comes nearest to A Hacoidum, Fee, but is distinguished by its 

 longer petioles, coriaceous texture, finer and closer venation, and the 

 obtuse pointed fronds. The petioles are slightly scaly at first, but early 

 become quite naked. The midrib is prominent beneath, channelled 

 above, and with the petioles straw-coloured when dry.
