SUPPLEMENT. 
For fine specimens of this distinct and beautiful species I am indebted to its discoverer 
Mr. Ashmead of Philadelphia, who sent them to me marked with the specific name here 
adopted.

7. Dasya Tumanowiczi , Gatty. add to the description : Conceptades on very short 
peduncles, borne by the lesser branches, ovate or sub-urceolate, thin walled, without 
prominent orifice, with a large nucleus. Specimens from Dr. Blodgett and Mr. Ash- 
mead.

3. Nitophyllum Fryeanum,; frond sessile, full-red, nerveless, thickish, deeply divided 
into many cuneate lobes, which are again vertically cleft, the segments rounded, frequently 
crisped at the margin, specially towards the base, the sinuses narrow ; fruit ? 
Hab. Golden-gate, California, Mr. A. D. Frye. (v. s. in Herb. T.C.D.) 
I propose this species with much hesitation, having as yet seen only very imperfect 
specimens, which I know not how to dispose of but by giving them a local habitation 
and name. Two specimens are before me ; one faded, the other in a better state of 
preservation, but neither in fruit. The frond is about 3 inches long, and 4 in lateral 
expansion, and is deeply divided into 4 or 5 principal segments which are broadly 
cuneate, and each again partially cloven into 4 or 5 lesser, vertical segments. The 
margin towards the base of the lobes is crisped or undulate ; in other parts it is plane. 
The lesser lobes are somewhat crenate or sub-lobulate, and all the tips are rounded, and 
the axils or sinuses very narrow. The substance of the membrane is thickish ; the 
surface- cells large and tessellated ; the cells of the interior appear also to be of large 
size, and quadrate, but the specimens examined have been too much squeezed in the 
process of drying, and their cells are consequently broken and difficult to examine. No 
traces of veins in the specimens seen. More perfect specimens must be had before this 
species can be considered as other than provisional. 
Fragments of one or two other Nitopliylla have reached me from the Pacific Coast, 
but not sufficiently perfect to warrant me in naming them.

5. Bhodymenia corallina , Grev. (?) ; stipes cylindrical, sub-simple, expanding into 
a fan-shaped, many times dichotomous, rose-red frond ; lacinise linear, with rounded
