This species, which in the "Synopsis Filicum" is given as " a very interesting novelty, the discovery of which we owe to Sir Henry Barkly, the Governor of Mauritius, and Lady Barkly, who found it at Fig. 102. Portion of Fertile Frond rp ri i nr n - r n of Trichomanes Bancroftii lamari Cascade, Mauritius, is one 01 the very (nat gize) smallest known ; its little fronds, narrow-oblong, entire, and undulated at the edge, seldom reach Jin. in length, including their short stalks.—Hooker, Synopsis Filicum, p. 74. T. bicorne—bic-or'-ne (having two horns), Hooker. This species, which in some respects resembles T. alatum, is found growing on logs or roots of trees, in the dense, moist forests of the Amazon, and at St. Gabriel, Rio Negro ; it is also plentiful on decayed logs on the Catingas, J^orth of Brazil. Its strong rhizome is scarcely creeping, and its egg-shaped fronds, 2in. to Bin. long and lin. to l^in. broad, are twice or three times deeply cleft to a narrow-winged stalk. The remarkable feature in this species is the involucre, which is sunk between the two horns as it were of the apex of a segment. T. bicorne requires a warm temperature.—Hooker, Icones Plantarum, t. 982 ; Second Century of Ferns, t. 82. T. bipunctatum—bip-unc-ta'-tum (two-dotted), Poiret.
