Hab. Canalla, New Caledonia, Mr, Charles Moore, n. 5. 
This species of Davallia, belonging to the group or section 
Eudavallia, possesses no very strikingly marked characters, 
and yet cannot be referred to any known species. It comes 
too from a country in the Australian S. Pacific Ocean, 
which would doubtless yield a good harvest of new Ferns, 
could it be fully investigated by the Botanist.
