triangular in outline, but lengthened out at the point, supported by stoutish, 
smooth, pale-coloured stipites, and most elegantly cut into a multitude of small 
blunt segments. The sori are large and solitary on the ultimate sub-divisions of 
the frond, and have the oblong cup-shaped form, characteristic of the true 
Davallias. The plant, which occurs in the New Hebrides, has also been called 
Davallia pallida. One of our figures represents the contour of the plant, while 
the other shows more exactly the form and sub-division of the fronds, and the 
position and general appearance of the sori. It of course requires stove heat, 
and well deserves the most careful culture, delighting in liberal treatment, when 
the roots have once become well established.—T. M.
