roseate tint. It is of Peruvian origin. 7s. Gd. 
ADIANTUM SEEMANNI. 
A very fine stove Pern, with hold pinnate fronds, which in their early stages are suffused with 
a reddish purple tint, as if stained with red wine. In the seedling plants the fronds are ovate, 
acuminate, cordate at the base, and strongly serrated. In the more mature state the fronds are 
pinnate (sometimes the lower pinnm ai'e divided), with a few broad ovate, acuminate, unequal-sided 
pinnm, bearing on the margins a series of elongated sori, and attached by black polished stalks an 
inch long. It is related to A. and A. inacrophyllum ; and has been lately introduced from 
Central America by Dr. Seeraann, after whom it was named some years since by Sir W. Hooker.

A noble species from Columbia, remarkable for the largo size of its fronds, which are suprade- 
compound, the ultimate pinnules deorsely falcate and somewhat acuminate, aud the sori oblong- 
reniform, situated at the edge of the pinnules. A striking peculiarity of this plant is, that the 
rachis, especially on the upper surface, is'olothed with a felt of whity-brown cobwebby hair&, which 
gives it a pale velvety appearance. The same appearance is continued, though in a less degree, 
throughout the stipes. 165.
