We liad already represented tbe simple fronded state of 
tbis plant in the leones Plantarum above quoted, and we now 
give tbe pinnated form of tbe same, which has, by some, been 
mistaken for a different species. We cannot agree with those 
Botanists who refer it to the genus Callipteris , of which 
C. prolifera , Borry, is the type. Presl is quite mistaken at 
p. 92 of his Epimelia Botanica, in stating that Mr. J. Smith’s 
Callipteris (or Oxygonium) ovata , is not the Asplenium ovatum 
of Wallich. The simple fronded state of the plant is identical 
with that, as is Diplazium cordifolium of Blume, which name, 
as the oldest published, we adopt. Some of our simple fronded 
specimens are nearly a foot long.
