Canariense—Canary Islands. Asplenium canariense of Willdenow, Poiret, Sprengel, Presl, Fee, and J. Smith, is found in the Canaries and Madeira, and I believe is becoming scarce in those Islands.

For a description of Asplenium prcemorsum and its varieties, the reader is referred to pages , vol. v, of my "Natural History of British and Exotic ; The illustration is from a plant in my own collection, im- ported from Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Lowe, E.
