i-ii ft, long, 5-6 in. broad; pinnules lanceolate, sessile, f-f- 
in. broad, cut down to a broad wing into oblong, distinctly- 
toothed tertiary segments ^ in. broad. Veins simple, distinct, 
6-7-jugate. Sori marginal ; indusium firm, J-cupshaped. Santa 
Marta, Joad, (1863). 
15*. Hemitelia Traillii, Baker, n. sp. Fronds ample, bipinnatifid,

scaly on the ribs beneath ; rachis unarmed, furnished with a few 
large lanceolate brown scales. Pinnae oblong-lanceolate, 2 ft. 
long, 8-9 in. broad ; pinnules lanceolate petioled, above an 
inch broad, cut down to a narrow wing into oblong-lanceolate 
inciso-crenate tertiary segments J in. broad. Veins forked, 8-9- 
jugate. Sori medial, placed at the fork of the veins ; indusium 
minute. Amazon valley, North Brazil, collected by Professor

15*. H. parvula, Baker. First published as Alsophila parvula, 
Jenm., in Journ. Bot. 1879, 258; afterwards as Hemitelia

16*. H. brunoniana, Clarke, in Trans. Linn. Soc. ser 2, Bot. I, 
430 , — Amphicosmia brunoniana , Beddome. India orientalis. 
Included under Alsophila contaminans , in Syn. Fil. p. 41. 
16*. H. decipiens, J. Scott, East Himalayas = Cyathea decipiens , 
Clarke & Baker, in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXIV, 409, and the 
South Indian H. Beddomei, Clarke, in Trans. Linn. Soc. 
n. ser. I, 429, is very nearly allied to it. Both of them only 
differ from Cyathea spinulosa in the indusium.
