Asplenium Marlothii, Hieron. {Engl Jahrb . 4 6 , 357, 
1911 ; C. Chr. Index Fit. Suppl. 12) is mentioned by name 
only on page 174. Since then we have ascertained from the 
collector, Dr Marloth, that it was found by him on the moun- 
tains near Kuruman, British Bechuanaland, in 1886, and that 
he sent on his specimens to Berlin at that time, without 
keeping a duplicate. There are consequently no known 
specimens in South African herbaria and only the type in 
Berlin. Dr Marloth has favoured us with a copy of Hierony- 
mus’ remarks on it, which show that it belongs to the group of 
A. pumilum Sw., and is closely allied to A. S chimp eriamim 
Hochst., and include the following : 
“ Rhizome sub-caespitose, with many stalks together, paleaceous when 
young. Fronds up to 12 cm. long, quite glabrous, deltoid or ovate, sub- 
bipinnate, at the apex pinnatisect. Pinnae 3 — 6 each side, the lower ones 
shortly stalked, mostly deltoid, at the base erose-pinnatisect. 
Sori up to 3 mm. long, 1^ mm. wide, attached to the side of the 
primary lateral veins, the indusium membranous, yellowish-white with 
a crenulate margin, hardly \ mm. wide.
