2. Diplazium Zeylanicum. (Hook.) Caudex terete, repent subterraneous naked black, stipites remote solitary, 4 inches to a span 
long, paleaceous with lax dark subulato-lanceolate scales, fronds sub-coriaceo-nieiubranaceous, a span to a foot long, 1-2 inches broad, 
lanceolate acuminate, deeply pinnatifid in the middle, pinnate at the base, serrated only towards the apex, lobes and pinn« horizontal,

3. Diplazium decurrens. (Bedd.) Caudex erect, fronds ample glabrous, coriaceo-mcmbranaceous, bi-pinnate with the pinnules 
more or less pinnatifid, primary pinnae distant, petiolate lanceolate acuminate, 10 to 18 inches long, pinnules numerous, petioled or decur- 
rent, 1 to 3 inches long, linear lanceolate more or less pinnatifid, segments obtuse crenated. Veins pinnate simple, rather distant. Sori curved, 
one double one to each segment and 1-5 single ones. Hook. Sp, Fil. iii, p. 2b&,note under D. polypoidioides ; — Diplazium polypo-

4. i)i7</rtjiM??i ^ScMu/irw'. (Mutton.) ? Rachis and fronds glabrous, or very slightly puberulous beneath, fronds simply pinnate 
with the pinnules 3 inches long, and deeply pinnatifid, or ample bi-pinnate, pinnae lanceolate acuminate 6-8 inches long, pinnules decurrent 
from a broad base and forming a narrow wing on the rachis, more or less pinnatifid, often half way down to the costa, segments obtuse (not 
falcate) entire or crenated, veins pinnate simple, sori slightly curved, one double and several single ones to each lobe. Tim. En. Cey. PL

The figure represents portions of both the pinnate and bi-pinnate forms, in the former some of the lobes of the pinnules have 
all the sori asplenioid. 
PLATE No. CCXXX. 
Note— " Diplazium Thwaitesii." (A. Br.) (C. P. 1343), appears to be the same as " D. Lasiopteris" (Kunze) Plate CLX, 
of this work, they are both always simply pinnate, and the pubescence is the same, the pinna3 in my specimens of Thwaitesii are more 
approximated than in Lasiopteris, and the pinnules are more obtuse and less falcate, but they can hardly be more than varieties. 
Anteophyum. (See page 17.) 
PLATE No. CCXXXI, is a figure of Antropliyum reticulatum (Kaulf) from Ceylon, Fig. LII, of this work is tlie Antrophyum 
plantagineum (Cav.) and not reticulatum, and the name must be altered accordingly. The two species are nearly allied and perhaps not 
really distinct ; the following are the distinguishing characters. 
1. J Hiro7;%im^:>te?<<a[/jneMm. (Cav.) Fronds broad, falcato-lanceolate receptacles deeply immersed, sub-glabrous. Plate LII. 
Nilgiris — Ceylon. 
2. Antrophyum reticulatum. (Kaulf.) Fronds narrow-lanceolate, receptacles immersed hairy. Plate CCXXXI.— Ceylon.
