LIN 
new fpecies of Lindernia, all natives of the tropical 
part of New Holland, though he remarks that they do 
not altogether accord with the original character of this 
genus. 
4. Lindernia alfinoides : leaves ovate, entire or (lightly 
toothed; (tem-leaves diftant; floral ones ('mail. Tube of 
the corolla a little longer than the calyx. Stem ereCt. 
5. Lindernia fcapigera : leaves broad-ovate> nearly en¬ 
tire ; lower ones crowded together ; thofe of the ftem few 
and fmall; floral leaves minute. Tube of the corolla 
twice as long as the calyx. 
6. Lindernia fubulata : leaves linear-awl-thaped, entire. 
Found by fir Tofeph Banks only.

LIN'DO, a town in the iliand of Rhodes, anciently 
called Lindus, and celebrated for a temple dedicated to 
Minerva, whence that goddefs had the furname of Lindia. 
This temple is faid to have been built by Danaus king of 
Egypt, on landing here in his flight from his own kingdom. 
A certain feftival was celebrated annually in this city, not 
with bleflings and prayers, as LaCtantius informs us, but 
with curfes and imprecations; infomuch that, if one good 
word efcaped any of thofe that were prefent, it was 
deemed a very bad omen, and the whole ceremony began 
anew. Lindus gave birth to Chares, the architect of the 
Coloffus; and to Cleobulus, one of the feven wife men of 
Greece. It is fourteen miles fouth-fouth-weft of Rhodes.

LINDSJE'A, /• [fo named by the late Mr. Dryander, 
after Mr. John Lindjay , an afiiduous and (kilful botanift of 
Jamaica, author of a paper, printed in the TranfaCtions 
of the Linnsean Society, vol. ii. on the germination and 
railing of ferns from the feed ; as well as of another pa¬ 
per, in the fame volume, concerning the railing of feve¬ 
ral other cryptogamiC plants in the fame manner.] In bo¬ 
tany, a genus of the clafs cryptogamia, order Alices, or 
ferns. The generic characters are—Capfules annulated, 
in continued, nearly-marginal, lateral or terminal, lines; 
involucrum arifing from the furface of the leaf, membra¬ 
nous, continued, entire or (lightly crenate, at length re- 
flexed, permanent.— EJfential Char after. FruCtification in 
continued, nearly-marginal, lines ; involucrum from the 
furface of the leaf, continued, feparating at the fide to¬ 
wards the margin. Nine fpecies are defenbed in Mr. Dry- 
ander’s original effay in the 3d vol. of the Linn. Tranf. 
to which five are added by Dr. Swartz, one by M. Labil- 
lardi.ere, and one" by Mr. Brown. 
Species. 1. Lindfea fagittata: frond fimple, arrow or 
heart fliaped, with a taper point. Native of woods and 
fiflures of rocks in Guiana. The root is creeping, hear¬ 
ing five or fix fronds in a duller, near a (pan high ; the 
ilalks black and (Lining; leaf fraooth, with dichotomous 
veins all fpringing from its bsfi? wbws the ftalk is iafened ;

line of fructification about a draw’s breadth from the 
edge. In fir Jofeph Banks’s Herbarium are fix fronds of 
this fpecies from M. Aublet, out of which only one i* 
fagittate ; all the relt are cordate. 
2. Lindfea reniformis: frond fimple, kidney-fliaped, ob- 
tufe. This (pecies comes very near to the foregoing, but 
differs in the frond being broader than it is long, and en¬ 
tirely without any apex. The (inns at the bafis of the 
frond i3 alfo more open than in the foregoing. The ftipes 
is of a gloffy brown colour, as in the firft. In both, the 
line of fructifications is at a diftance from the margin. 
It is perhaps a variety. Native of Guiana and Surinam. 
3. Lindfea enfifolia: frond pinnate’; leaflets alternate, 
fword-fttaped. From the ifland of Mauritius. Very 
nearly allied to the following. 
4. Lindfea lanceolata : frond pinnate; leaflets alter¬ 
nate, linear-lanceolate, fometimes pinnatifid ; (talk fquare. 
Found by Labillardiere at Van Diemen’s Land ; by Mr. 
Brown in the tropical part of New Holland. Each leaf¬ 
let is about one inch and a half or two inches long, nearly 
feflile. If the dichotomous form and great diftance of 
the lateral veins from each other, which are very remark¬ 
able characters in Labillardiere’s plate, be correct, this 
fpecies is elfentially diltinCt from the laft, whofe veins 
compofe an uniform fort of network, interbranching with 
each other over the whole dilk of the leaf. 
5. Lindfsea grandifolia: frond pinnate; leaflets oppo- 
fite, elliptic-lanceolate, pointed ; fructification half-way 
between the rib and the margin. Gathered in Malacca.' 
A remarkable fpecies. The irond confilts of two pair of 
oppofite, (lightly-ftalked, leaflets, three or four inches 
long, with a terminal one ftill longer. A line of fructi¬ 
fication lies midway between the rib and the margin, ore 
each fide of the former; but none of the lines extend ei~. 
ther to the bafe or the fummit, by near an inch. 
6. Lindfiea linearis; frond pinnate, linear; leaflets very 
numerous, (un-fhaped, finely crenate and fructifying at 
their outer edge. Native of various parts of New Hol¬ 
land.' About a foot high, with a dark polifhed (talk, ta¬ 
pering and zigzag at the bafe. The leaflets are. imper¬ 
fectly oppofite, deflexed, fmall, broad and very (liort, fo 
as to give a remarkable narrownefs to the (hape of the 
whole frond. 
7. Lindfte'a falcata : frond pinnate ; leaflets fomewhat 
crefcent-fliaped, entire, wavy. Gathered by Aublet ia 
Guiana. About a foot high, with feveral pair of rather- 
clofe leaflets, each about an inch long, (lightly falcate 
backward, wavy at their upper edge, along which runs 
the line of fructification. The terminal leaflet is irregu¬ 
larly fliaped. See the Plate, fig. 1. 
8. Lindfea heterophylla : frond pinnate; leaflets en¬ 
tire or ferrated ; the lower ones fomewhat rhomboid-lan¬ 
ceolate, pointed; the upper rhomboid and very obtuf? ; 
the uppermolt confluent. Gathered by Mr. Robertfon at 
Malacca. A fpan high, with very various (lightly-diflant 
leaflets, the longelt of which meafure fcarcely an inch. 
9. Lindfea cultrata: frond pinnate; leaflets oblong, 
obtufe, wavy at their upper margin ; the terminal one 
elongate:! jagged. Native of the coaft of Malabar. 
Frond about five inches high, with a green (ialk, ten or 
twelve pair of alternate, (talked, horizontal ltaflets, and 
a Angularly-jagged, elongated, upright, terminal one. 
10. Lindfea flabellulata : frond pinnate : leaflets fan- 
fliaped, finely toothed ; the lower ones of the old plants 
compound. Native of China, Macao, and Sumatra. The 
leaflets are alrnoft femi-circular at their fruCtitying edge, 
which (tauds outwards, not uppermoft. 
11. Lindfea trapeziformis : frond doubly pinnate; leaf¬ 
lets quadrangular, abrupt; the lowermolt fan-(haped. 
Gathered in Grenada by Smeathman. A large and hand- 
tome fern, each branch of whole frond confilts of above 
a dozen pair of oblong quadrangular leaflets, fructifying 
at their upper and outer margins. This is (liown at fig. 2. 
12. Lindfea Guianenfis : frond doubly pinnate; its 
Iwanelje* fpreading, tapering ; leaflets crowded ; the lower 
» C lunate *
