densely clothed with loose subulate brown scales ; stipites tufted, stel- 

 late- ciliate, under \ in. 1 , black, winged by the decurrent sides ; fronds 

 spreading, 2-4 in. 1. li. w ., ligulate, gradually tapering at the base, 

 the apex obtuse, rounded, as wide or wider there than below, or some- 

 times narrower; firm but not coriaceous, ciliate, especially on the dis- 

 tinct black marginal thread, which in time separates from the mem- 

 brane ; rachis covered; veins immersed, once or twice forked, th* in- 

 ferior branch curved, and sometimes prolonged to join near the margin 

 the next inferior one above it, thus forming distinct areoloe that enclose 

 the sori, more often however free not reaching the margin; sori oval, 

 rather large, dark brown, oblique, situated on the shorter superior 

 veinlet or spur near the midrib. Grammitis, Sw. 



Common on the upper branches of trees in foi*est at 5, (.00-7,000 ft. 

 alt. ; marked from the previous species by the different shape of frond, 

 form of the venation and presence of vestiture. In both the marginal 

 thread is black and glossy, and not covered by the parenchyma as in 

 gratnineum, separating eventually as the fronds decay, the veins not 

 entering it. Casually the branches of the same vein meet and form a 

 narrow mesh. I have not seen specimens of this from the mainland, 

 those referred to it belonging to the last.
