ccous fronds. It is assuredly the Aspidium simmtum of Gaudichaud, but not of LabiUardiere, which has a
setoso stipes aud rachis, and tufts of hoits iu the sinuses of the margins of the fronds; and is, ntoroover, a
much less divided plant. The indusia are Tery:nnlike those of Nephrodium Hippocrqris, to which it has’ a
considerable affinity, and the colour of the stipes and rachis is different ; in tho latter particukar, too, it is at
y.mance with the Aspidium apifolium of Schkuhr; but in aU other respects, it seems entirely to accord
with that plant, whence we have been induced to adopt that name.
5. Nephrodium squamigerum; supra decompositum tri-quadripinnatum, pinnulis oblongis
obtusis pinnatifidis basi decurrentibus supra ad ñervos præcipue puberulis, stipite
rachibusque subtus dense squamulosis, squamis fimbriatis, soris subserialibus in tra costam et
marginem, indusiis reniformibus tenerrimis fimbriato-ciliatis.
The specimens in the Herbarium are but portions of a larger fi-ond, densely divided, flaccid, the primary
divisions acuminated; the upper surface glabrous, or only downy on the secondary rachides aud nerves,
while the stipes aud rachides beneath, and even the primary nerves or cost®, ai-e densely clothed ivith
copious, delicate, membranous, reticulated, aud fimbriated scales.

dum? Forst. Prodr. n. 429.
In our specimens of this variable plant, the lower pinnæ are much broader than the rest, and again pinnated
with 2-4 rhomboid pinnæ.
3. Asplénium contiguum; frondibus pinnatis, pinnis lineari-lanceolatis attenuatis inciso-
serratis serraturis dentatis basi superiore rotundato-cuneatis subauriculatis inferiore ab-
scisso-attenuatis, soris contiguis costæ parallelis. Kaulf. Enum. Fil. p . 172. Gaud, in Freyc.
Voy. p . 821.
That this may be a state of the following plant, we think very probable ; but we cannot agree rvith
Gaudichaud, that it is a variety of A . horridum.
4. Asplénium filifo rm e ; frondibus pinnatis, pinnis lanceolato-linearibus longissime
filiformi-attenuatis inciso-serratis serraturis adpressis subdenticulatis, infimis basì superne
lobato-incisis, soris contiguis costæ parallelis. Kaulf. Enum. Fil. p . 172.
5. Asplénium horridum; frondibus pinnatis, pinnis lineari-lanceolatis attenuatis inciso-
lobatis, lobis oblongis truncatis crenatis, soris costæ contiguis parallelis in lobis geminis,
stipite rachique hirsutis. K a u l f Enum. Fil. p . 173. Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. p . 318.
A very remarkable plant: first detected, as were the two following species, by Mr. Menzies, in the Sandwich
Islands.
6. Asplénium acuminatum; frondibus bipinnatis glabris, pinnulis lanceolatis acuminatis
inciso-pinnatifidis striato-venosis rigidis basi cuneatis hinc auriculatis, lobis dentatis, soris
oblique parallelis, rachi subhirsuta.
Habit and texture of the two preceding, but constantly twice pinnated : the primary pinnæ lanceolate,
much acuminated, 4-6 inches long, having numerous pinnules, which are from an inch to an inch and a half
in length, and more or less deeply inciso-pinnatifid, according to their situation upon the plant. The veins
are almost parallel with the costa, and hence give a striated appearance to the pinnules.
7. Asplénium patens; frondibus triplicato-pinnatifidis, pinnis patentibus alternis, piii-
nulis pinnatifidis, laciniis oblongo-cuneatis apice inciso-dentatis. Kaulf. Enum. Fil. p . 175.
Gaud, in Freyc. Voy, p . 320.
This plant is a foot and a half long. Frond linoateMong. with patent short ptintary piante of a dehcate
Membranaceous texture, S o r i one or two on each lobe.
