At Muysenberg, False Bay, C. B. S., growing with Thamno- 
phora corallorhiza near low water mark, W, H . Harvey . Fronds 
tufted, 6-7 inches high, narrow at the base, becoming gradually 
wider till they are half an inch broad; then spreading with a fan¬ 
shaped or broadly ovate outline, and divided in a partly dicho¬ 
tomous, partly pinnate manner, the segments generally half an 
inch wide, nearly linear, erecto-patent, and again dividing in the 
same irregular manner. The axils every where rounded, but not 
very broad. The apices generally jagged; and the margin either 
toothed, lacero-dentate or almost ciliate at times. Keramidia 
sessile, generally near the margin, few on each frond, depresso- 
ovate or mainillseform, thick and fleshy. Stichidia unknown. 
Colour fine purple-red, with iridescent tints when fresh, becoming 
darker and duller on drying. It adheres to paper.

George Town, V. D. L., R . Gunn , Esq,, n. 1287.— Stem 12 
inches long or more, 1-2 lines thick, cartilaginous, shrinking in 
drying, quite naked, undivided but furnished from base to apex 
at distances varying from \ inch to an inch, with spreading, 
alternate, undivided branches similar to the stem, but only one 
fourth of its diameter. These produce a third series of undi¬ 
vided branchlets or pinnae, which are also about J the diameter 
of the branches; and in luxuriant specimens another series is 
probably borne. All the divisions are alternate, and generally a 
considerable space intervenes between both branches and branch- 
lets. The branches like the stem are naked; the branchlets 
alone, which diminish in size from the base to the apex of the
