Osbert Salvin, Esq, 
This is probably a very rare Fern, apparently peculiar to 
Mexico, where it has been detected by Galeotti and Hartweg, 
and Guatemala, whence we have specimens from Mr. Skinner, 
and most beautiful ones from Mr. Salvin. Like some other 
Antrophya it has perfectly sessile fronds, and since we have 
satisfied ourselves that it has anastomosing venation, and 
sometimes anastomosing sori, though that is by no means 
inconsistent with Antrophyum^ we retain it in the Genus of 
which it is a true member, Mr. Moore (under his Genus 
Scoliosorus) says, This plant having neither netted veins 
nor netted sori, cannot belong to Antrophyum^ and is quite 
different from every other established Genus.
