A species wbicli cannot easily be mistaken for any other 
of the group to which it belongs, if the short and singularly 
divergent or paten ti-recurved ultimate segments be con- 
sidered, with the sori, though short in themselves, nearly as 
long as the ultimate segments, and giving the appearance of 
a dareoid species of Davallia.
