Sori uniserial, situated nearer the margin than the midrib ofthe pinnae; eventually confluent. Length of frond two feet; colour rich green. My thanks are due to Mr. J. Smith, of Kew, for the por-tion of a frond sent by him. It is not in any Nurserymans Catalogue. The illustration is from Mr. J. Smiths frond. P O L Y P C T. Pinna of mature Frond—under side. POLYPODIUM AFFINE. Martens and Galliotti. Leibmann. PLATE L. VOL. II. Goniopteris affinis. Polypodium—Polypody. Of GrABDENS. Affine—Related. A Fern scarcely known amongst cultivators. A greenhouse species. Galliotti found it on the Volcano Orizaba, at an elevation offrom nine to ten thousand feet, growing in oak and fir found it in the woods over Chinantha, between sevenand eight hundred feet high, principally growing upon the oaktrees. A very characteristic fact which authors do not speak of, andwhich is especially of importance in relation to this species, isthe rhizoma. Pinnate, with three to five pairs of inch-wide divisions, witha terminal one. The divisions profoundly dentate. 110 POLYPODIUM AFFINE. Habit almost erect; fronds short and broad, and somewhatcrumpled. Rhizoma horizontal and creeping, about as thick as a finger,covered with membranaceous undulated reddish pellucid scales. Length of f
