Hab. Tsus Sima, Strait of Korea, Wilfordy n, 717. 
A very distinct Asplenium from any known to me, with 
more the habit of some Lastrea than is usually seen in this 
Genus. I name it in compliment to John Ward, Esq. Com- 
mander of IT. M. S. ^^Actason,” in acknowledgement of his 
services rendered to Mr. Wilford, Botanical Collector for the 
Koyal Gardens of Kew, during an interesting cruise in the 
North Chinese Seas, and as far as Manchuria.
