I am led to believe, in consequence of more perfect speci- 
mens I have lately received of Beauvois’ Asplenium emargi- 
natum, that Dr. Curror’s specimens alluded to in my habitats 
for that plant in the Species Filicum, are different from M. 
de Beauvois’, and I gladly correct my error, by publishing at 
our Tab. LXIX. of this volume, Dr. Curror’s plant under 
the name of A. longicauda, while I here represent what I 
believe to be quite different, and the true plant of the author 
of the “Flora d’Oware et de Benin.” It will be at once 
seen that the present plant entirely wants the suddenly 
accuminated points to the apices of the former species, and 
equally the very long proliferous terminal pinna : here all 
the pinna; are obtuse and emarginate. The texture of the 
frond is more membranaceous, of a brighter green, and the 
veins are more compact, the sori much closer, and longer and 
narrower.
