W h e r e it is requisite to delineate several P e rn s in the
same tribe , all of which chance to he exceedingly beautiful, it
is somewhat difficult to describe each species in suitable language.
L a rg e r in size, more graceful in form, yet less b rilliant
in the colour of the farinose powder than Gytnnogramma chry-
■ sopliijlla, this P e rn cannot nevertheless be otherwise than greatly
admired. I t is a very ornamental, compact, evergreen stove
species; a native of P e ru .
Both Q. ochracea and G. chrysophylla are more numerously
supplied with fronds th a t e ither G . calomelanos or G. tartarea.
T he fronds are usually not much more than a foot in len g th ;
however two specimens which are in my possession have them
two feet long.
