Our friend Agardh has well distinguished this handsome 
Pteris, (Litobrochia of Presl), and has founded its main specific 
character upon the peculiar venation : there is only a single 
arch between the costulae, next the costa ; and the fourth (or 
generally the third) areola from the costal one is that which 
reaches the margin. Agardh’s description was made from 
Norfolk Island specimens in our Herbarium ; but the plant 
has since been found in New Zealand and in Van Diemen’s 
Land.
