Vernation fasciculate, corm decumbent. Fronds pinnate, 2-3 feet long, sub-erect; pinnse linear, membranaceous, 4-6 inches long, 1 inch broad. Veins forked near the midrib, anasto- mosing towards the margin, forming two rows of hexagonoid ar< o^aa bounded by a continuous marginal vein. Sporangi- ferous receptacles unilateral on the lower part of the veins. Indusium vaulted, cylindrical, forming linear sori. Obs.—This genus is now restricted to a single species; it originally contained a group of species, which now form the section Athyrium of the genus Asplenium (p. 219): they differ in having large decompound fronds and free venation, agreeing only with the present genus in having tnrgid indusia, which is not uncommon to other species of Asplenium. The name Allantodia is derived from the Greek allantos, a sausage, the indusium before bursting resembling a miniature sausage in shape and Genua 115a.—Portion of fertile frond, natural size, and ditto magnified. 1.
