Trichomanes Henzaianum, Parish in litt. 
Hab. Detected by Mr. Henzai^ and the Rev. C. S. P. Parish^ 
partially clothing the trunks of trees at Moulmein, 1859. 
Dr. Yan Den Bosch, of Leyden, distinguished by his wri- 
tings and admirable figures of Mosses, is now happily engaged 
on a monograph, with numerous figures on the beautiful family, 
among Ferns, of Hymenophyllaceoe. He has already given to 
the world a valuable Synopsis ” of the group, with full de- 
scriptions of new or critical species. Our present individual, 
will rank near to Tr. suhlimbatum of Mueller, to which Yan 
Den Bosch refers, and probably quite correctly, my Java form 
of Tr. muscoides, (Sp. Fil. i. p. 117). From that, however, 
our plant may be known by its much smaller size, and diiferent 
form, greener color, more delicate texture ; but, above all, by 
the involucre, of which the limb in T. sublimbatum extends to 
the margin of the frond, while in our plant, the lobe of the 
frond extends much beyond the involucre ; and has, indeed, the 
appearance of half an involucre attached to the frond, as occurs 
in not a few davalliaceous plants.
