(Eugleichenia) circinata—Eu-giei-che'-m-a ; cir-cin-a'-ta (circinate or rolled inwards), Sicartz. This is an elegant, greenhouse species (Fig. 47), native of Anstraha, Tasmania, New Zealand, ISTcav Cale- donia, and Malacca. It is of parti- cularly slender habit, with short and narrow fronds borne on stems clothed with chaffy hairs of a reddish-brown colour. The lobes of their ' leaflets are ovate or nearly round, especially when fertile, more or less glaucous underneath, and have their margins slightly rolled inwards. The sori (spore masses) are disposed in cap- sules three or four together, and very abundantly produced. This species is also known as G. microphylla.— HookerSpecies F/'licum, i., p. 3, t. 2.
