Genus 14. Deparia Hook . et Grev. 
1 . D. prolifera, Hook. A plant lent to us by Sir F. Mueller, from 
Illawarra, New South Wales, will probably prove to be 
specifically distinct from the Hawaian type. It has narrow 
segments, and smaller less exserted sori. I believe that only a 
single specimen has been seen. 
3. D. Godefroyi, Luerss., in Fil. Graef. 222, T. 19 (under Denn - 
staedtid). Fiji Isles, Graeffe , 54. Habit and cutting of Nephro- 
dium cicutarium ; veins forming copious areolae with branched 
free included veinlets. 
Genus 14*. Lecanopteris Blume . 
I now think this will have to stand as a distinct genus in the 
neighbourhood of Dicksonia , from which it differs by having the in- 
dusium formed from a single valve, and curious tuberous rootstock, 
with species as follows, viz. : — 
1. L. carnosa, Blume, Fil. Jav. tab. 94 A. Perak and Philippine and 
Malay Isles. 
2. L. pumila, Blume, Fil. Jav. tab. 94 B. Malay Isles. 
3. L. Macleayii, Baker, n. sp. Rootstock not seen. Stipe short, 
naked. Frond lanceolate, glabrous, moderately firm, above a 
foot long, 4-5 in. broad, cut down to a narrowly-winged 
rachis with many linear obtuse crenate pinnae, in. broad. 
Sori distant, many to a pinnae ; indusium very small, orbicular, 
convex. Java, Macleay. 
4. L. Curtisii, Baker, in Hook. leones, tab. 1607. Sumatra, 
Curtis . 
5. Ii. deparioides, Baker, in Journ. Bot. 1881, 366. Davallia depa- 
rioides , Cesati, Fil. Becc. Born. 13, tab. 4, fig. 8. Rootstock 
tuberous, as in the other species, produced into short phyllo- 
podes articulated at the top. Stipe naked, substramineous, 6-8 in. 
long. Frond lanceolate, membranous, glabrous, simply pinnate, 
1 \-2 ft. long, 3-4 in. broad ; rachis winged only at the top ; 
pinnae sessile, linear, obtuse, J in. broad, narrowed towards 
the base ; barren entire ; fertile crenate, with a sorus at the tip 
of each lobe. Venation of Phymatodes. Indusium as in the other 
species, consisting of a cup, formed from the edge of the frond, 
holding a small globose sorus. Borneo, Sarawak, Beccari .
