The Cryptogamous Plants of Dr. Roxburgh, 513 



Fructifications, a large oblong cluster of minute capsules, 

 on the under edge of the margin of the divisions of the 

 leaflets. 



Involucre simple, separating on the inner side, being a 

 continuation of the segments of the leaflets. 



S. A, tenerum. R. A. Capillus. Linn. Wall. Cat. 61, 

 No. 73. 



Stipes polished black ; fronds (6-12 inches high,) alternate- 

 ly bi-tripinnate ; its ultimate divisions fine-petioled, triangu- 

 larly vredge-shaped, and often deeply cut on the anterior, 

 irregularly rounded margin. 



Found on the northern boundary of Oude, by Mr. A. 

 Gott. It is very like Dryander's Lindscea tenera. Trans, 

 Linn, Soc. 3, p. 42, t. 10. 



4. A. microphyllum. R. A. venustum. Don, Wall. Cat. 61, 

 No. 81. 



Stipes highly polished, deep brovi^n. Fronds (12-18 in- 

 ches high,) super-decompound ; its ultimate divisions round- 

 vredge-shaped ; anterior margin minutely dentate. Fructifi- 

 cations from 1 to 3, though generally solitary, on the an- 

 terior edge. 



Nat, of the mountains north of Rohilcund. 



In my generic character of this genus, I have observed 

 that the little annulated capsules, are inserted on the involu- 

 cre itself, such being the case in all the above four species. 



18. DAVALLIA. (Smith.) 



Fructifi,cations in roundish, separate spots, near the mar- 

 gin. Involucres like scales, from the surface, distinct, se- 

 parating outwards. 



1. D, angustifolia. R. D. angustata, Wall. Cat. 63, No. 

 242, (quod nomen delendum.) 



Parasitic, creeping. Fronds sessile ; both barren and 

 fertile linear-lanceolate, serrulate, firm and polished. Invo- 

 lucres like scales.
