" Pteris quadri-avrita" and " Campteria hi-mritdl' were also to be found, and sus2)ect that if must he a hyhrid heiween the two. Mr. 
Bentham in his Homj-Koiig Flora joins tlie two species " nemorcdis" and quadri-aurita." In quadri-aurita," "C. nemoralis" and 
" bi aurita" the veins always reach the marghi, in " C. Anamallayensis" never, 
3. Lindsa^a heterophylla, (Bedd.) Glabrous fronds 10-15 inches high, deltoid, bi-pinnate, and in the lower portion sometimes 
tri-pinnate, simply pinnate at the apex, lower pinnee 4-6 inches long, upper ones gradually smaller and less compound, piiiimles numerous, 
(as many as 20) very various in form, sub-rotund, rhomboidal, or lanceolate, viens simple or forked, all free, sori continuous round the 
whole margin except at the base. 
fShevaroy Hills, (ravines on the green hills.) 
This fern is quite distinct from Schizoloma hetero2)hi/Uum" J. Smith, (Plate xxvi of this Work) the veins are always free 
and never anastomosing. I am not sure, however, that it is not one of the forms referred by Sir William Hooker to his " Lindsoea (ISchi- 
zoloma) hettropliylla" Sp. Fil.^p. 223.

2. II ymeno2'>hyllum crispatum. {V^ViW.) Erect, fronds ovato-acuminate tri-pinnatifid, the segments linear obtuse generally plane, 
sometimes waved entire, involucres terminal, sometimes on lateral segments copious ovate, sessile free entire, 2 valved to the very base, 
the valves convex, receptacles wholly included, stipes with broad crisped wings almost to the base, wing of the rachis also crisped.

Common in moist forests on the Nilgiris, Anamallays, Wynad, &c., up to 4,000 feet elevation.

4. Trichomanes intraniarginale. (Hook, et Grev.) Caudex creeping, somewhat tomentose, fronds small erect pinnatifid, tapering 
into a short stipes, the segments few, linear-oblong obtuse erecto-patent, slightly waved opaque with a slender intramarginal vein, the 
apices retuse, involucres sub-cylindrical tapering at the base, sunk entirely in the apex of the segments, the mouth spreading of 2 short lips, 
receptacles protruding. Hook, et Grev. Ic. Fil. t. 211 ; IIoolc. aS> Fil. 1-120. 
Shevagherry Hills. 
PLATE No. CCVin. (Fig. A. at the corner of the 2^late is a single frond of a species of Trichomanes, lately detected on trees 
near Neddiivattan on the Nilgiris. It is probably undescribed, but as my specimen consists of only a single frond and no root, I do not 
attetn2)t a descri2)tion of it.) 
Note. — Trichomanes proliferum, ( Blmne ) cdjout to be figured in one cf the supidnnentary numbers of this Work as a Ceylon fern, 
has just been detected abundant on the Western slo2)es of the Nilgiris at an elevation o/ 3,000 /ee< growing with T. Neilgherrense.
