to form an almost conical leaflet, emerging at an open angle and curving upward, the 
lower shorter, the upper longer and spreading ; lobes linear, narrow, rounded, very 
slightly segmented, much longer in the upper pinnules, the terminal lobe produced ; 
costa conspicuous, reaching the apex ; veins very fine, emerging at an acute angle, 
bifurcating immediately, sending a venule to the end of each lobe. (7'e«. Woods.) 
Ohs. This fern is said to be comparable with the genus Hymenopliyllwn, but 
the figure is so frightfully obscure that it becomes difficult to make anything of it.

Sp. Char. Frond somewhat stiff, spreading, dichotomously divided, bi-pinnate, 
pinnse opposite, or nearly so, long, linear, and, together with the rachis, membranaceously 
winged ; pinnules nearly opposite or alternate, very short and tj[uite acute, the apical 
one long and linear, veins thick, simple, free. {Ten. Woods.) 
Ohs. This fern is distinguished by its rigid aspect, numerous close pinnse, and 
short and acute pinnules, except the terminal one, which is disproportionately linear. 
{Ten. Woods.) 
The specimens before me, of which PI. 18, fig. 8, may be taken as a good 
example, are larger and stronger, and the pinnules more spine-like, blunt, and rigid.

Sp. Char. Frond dichotomously divided, each division irregularly pinnate ; 
Piiinm simple, bifurcate, or irregularly pinnate; segments narrow, linear, slightly 
tapering upwards to the rather blunt apex; the single midrib sending out simple 
branches, which run along the middle of each segment. {Carruthers.) 
Ohs. This species is said by Mr. Carruthers to be an abundant fern, but the 
3iev. J. E. T. Woods casts some doubt on this statement. The fern seems to accord 
much more with Trichomanites than it does with Sphenopteris.
