I cannot refer this to any described species of the Lastrea 
group of Neplirodium . It presents few striking distinguish- 
ing characters. The stipes (as much as was gathered) and 
the main rachises are indeed singularly black and ebeneous ; 
and on many of the ultimate pinnae the sinuses are furnished 
with an acute lobe, or tooth (see our Jig. 2).
