Caudice repente radicante, stipitibus approximatis atris biun- 
cialibus squamosis, squamis subulato-setaceis atris basi 
laciniatis, frondlbus 4-6 uncialibus erectis lanceolatis rigido- 
chartacels olivaceo-viridibus pinnatis, pinnis subsessilibus 
borizontalibus 4-5 lineas longis latis semi-ovatis basi 
superne productis apice obtusis nunc leviter falcatis cre- 
nato-serratis^ venis remotiusculis, soris obliquis biserialibus 
linearibus^ involucris rigide coriaceis fuscis, rachi atro-villosa.

This will perhaps rank near Asj)l, hirtum of the Furcafum- 
group of Euaspleniuniy of which it may possibly prove to be 
a small variety. All the specimens however are very uniform^ 
and none exceeds in size those here represented. Some of 
them have lost their lower pinnae, as if they separated at a 
joint, as in so many species of NephroJepis, This may be 
an accidental circumstance, arising probably from a season of 
unusual heat and drought ; so that I have not ventured to 
indicate it in our figure.
