In Hooker and Baker's " Synopsis Filicum," Trichomanes forms an important part of the tribe Hymenophyllece as Genus 17. It was formerly divided into Cephalomanes, Crepidomanes, Didymoglossum, Feea, Hemiphlebium, Hymeno- stachys, Involucraria, Lacostea, Lecanium, Microgonium, Phlebiophyllum, &c. Most of the foregoing names were given by the late Dr. Van den Bosch, who made a special study of the tribe ; his " Hymenophyllacea? Javanicse " contains engravings of many of the species, which, in point of beauty and delicacy of execution, have rarely been equalled. The tribe Hymenophyllece was, by Van den Bosch, divided into 24 genera, and comprised no less than 450 so-called species ; but the various characters which he held as distinctive were of so superficial a nature that none of his species have been maintained, and the tribe, as at present constituted, comprises only three genera : Hymenophyllum, Loxsoma, and Trichomanes. This genus is composed of about 100 species of Ferns, inhabiting tropical and temperate regions ; in fact, the geographical range of the.
