T h i s E e rn has a character and h ab it midway between P .
fa lc a ta and P . rotundifolia. I t was sent to me u n d e r th e name
o f P . cordata, as tlie pinnules have a po in ted apex rising out
o f a ro u n d ed en d ; perhaps this may have been misspelt for
caudata. I t will therefore be retained as P . fa lc a ta , var. caudata.
T he P . cordata of gardens is figured on P la te X X V I I I . The
venation is bolder th an in the normal form o f P . fa lc a ta . I t
is doubtful w hether it will ever prove to be more th an a variety.
T h e illustration is from a plan t in my own collection.
