Mr, Olarke says — very partial to limestone ; but I find it grows aiao uu 
sandstone and shale. It flourishes on dry cliffs, in the clefts of which it buries 
its procumbent rhizome, which has a beautiful covering of long golden-chest- 
nut scales. The sori are rarely nephrodioid, generally looped, or hippocrepifonn : 
towards tips linear. The plant might almost be put in AUhyrium .

This species is entered in Trotter’s Lists, both printed and MS,, and 
lie wrote to me about it, but I do not think I saw the specimen. It is not 
entered in McDonelPs List of Chamba Ferns identified at Kew ; and Blanford 
did not admit it as a fern of the Simla Region, where Dr. Cattell, in bis pub- 
lished list, said it had been got.
