This pretty Asplenium may'rank near A. pteropus, Kaulf., 
and Hook. Sp. Fil. 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.
