This appears to be the Fern collected by Drege in the Du Toit’s 
Kloof, and noticed by Kunze (Linnaea, vol. 10, p. 506) as a 
variety of L. Boryana. It does not, however, answer satisfactorily 
to the short diagnosis, and seems to be distinct. 
72. Lomaria heterophylla. Desv. Fronds pinnate, cori- 
aceous, smooth ; sterile pinnce rigid, alternate, broad at base, 
adnate, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, sub-falcate, entire, patent,
