Asplenium Wardii, Hook. Sp. Fil. 3. p. 189. 
Hab. Tsus Sima, Strait of Korea, Wilford, n. 717. 
A very distinct Asplenium from any known to me, with 
more the habit of some Lastrea than is usually seen in this 
Genus. I name it in compliment to John Ward, Esq. Com- 
mander of II. M. S. “Actmon,” in acknowledgement of his 
services rendered to Mr. Wilford, Botanical Collector for the 
Royal Gardens of Kew, during an interesting cruise in the 
North Chinese Seas, and as far as Manchuria.
