Von der vorigen Art, mit der A. Beckleri nicht selten verwechselt wird, untei'scheidet sie sich 
durch die Behaarung, die auffallend grossen Sori, die kleinen, deutlich gekerbten Fiedeni, deren Form etc. 
Bailey beschreibt seine Varietät eiuiiundi wie folgt: »Rhizome slender, more or less hairy, often very 
intricate, forming dense, matted masses upon damp rocks, the tVonds thus very numerous, and not unlike 
the moss Ci/athophora phridioides, 1 to 2 in. long, with the pinnae not close, and only 1 or 2 lines long; 
these are never found bearing sori. From these moss-like masses proceed tiliform stems, which creep 
up the adjoining trees or shrubs, and hear fertile fronds, narrow-lanceolate in outline, often falcate, 3 to 
6 in. long, stipites very short or none; the rhachis clothed with soft, white hairs and distant brown scales. 
Pinnae oblong, the centre ones 3 to 6 lines long, from wliich they diminish in size towards each end, 
the apical ones being only about 7^ line in diameter, and the basal ones but little larger, all softly hairy, 
the lower margin entire, upper crenulated, base truncate, and parallel with the rhachis, with a more or 
less prominent auricle on the upper side ; costular vein flexuose nearer the lower than the upper margin, 
veinlets often shortly forked. Indusium large for the size of the frond; orbicular reniform , persistent. <

X.S.Wales: Macleay River, Beckler; Gape Byron, Mooke 1867 (als Xe])hrolepis alfescandens var. 
tenuis; ausserdem sah ich Exein})lare aus N. S. Wales ohne Standortsangabe von ^Ioore als Xephrolepis 
tenuis bezeichnet); Mount Warning, Forsyth IX. 1900 (als Asp. rmnosuiu). 
Das Originalexemplar der von Beckler gesammelten und von Hookki; als Polijpodium '•f Beckleri 
beschriebenen Pflanze stimmt mit den authentischen Exemplaren des Aspidium eumundi vollkommen über- 
ein. Es ist dies aber nicht die A. obliterata »in a small barren state«, wie Baker (Hook.-Bak. Syn. 301) 
meint, sondern sicher wenigstens eine gute Rasse.
