from the mountains of Java, with, erect ovate thrice divided 
( tri-pinnatifid) fronds, 2 to 3 inches high, of which the 
margins of the segments are deeply undulate, and serrated 
with soft jagged teeth. 55° to 70°. 
pectinatum (Oav.) One of the most beautiful of the genus, 
found on trees in Southern Chili. Fronds linear-oblong, 
(pinnate,) 4 to 6 inches long : pinnules comb-like, being 
confined to the upper side of the pinnae. 40° to 60°. 
yc Plumieri (Hook and Grev.) Closely allied to H. ciliatum, and 
perhaps not specifically distinct. Differs in its larger fronds, 
and more remote, but less deeply cut pinnae. West Indies.

divided ( Z A-pinnatifid ) smooth, pale green fronds, on 
winged stalks. 40° to 60°. 
* ramm (Br.) A small densely matted species, from Tasmania

sabinaefolium (Baker.) ? A small species from the moun- 
tains of Jrna , with broadly ovate ( tri-pinnatifid ) fronds of
