This plant which is maintained as a distinct species, under 
the not very appropriate name of A, speciosa^ by Presl and 
Liebmann (from whom I have received authentic specimens), 
^ I can only consider as variety of Anemia Mexicanuj a variety 
probably occasioned by its locality, at a considerable elevation 
on the mountains. The fronds are of a firmer texture, the 
pinnge are fewer, generally 3, and these shorter and blunter.
