This pretty Asplenium may rank near A. pteropus, Kaulf, 
and Hook. Sp. EiL p. 122, t. 177; but it is very different 
from that and every other of the Genus with which I am 
acquainted. Instead of tapering gradually to an acuminated 
apex, the frond is, as it were, suddenly truncated and a ter- 
minal pinna set on of a different shape from the lateral ones^ 
and very generally proliferous.
