ST. VINCENT
Abplkniom (Euasplenicm) Gdildinoii, Jenm.,
sp. nov.
Stipitei slender, 3 to 6 inches long; grey, naked,
channelled; fronds bipinnatifid, thin, pale green,
glabrous, truncate; apex serrately attenuated, 10 to
15 inches long, 3 to 5 inches wide ; pinna spreading,
the base truncate, equilateral, often rather enlarged,
and nearly or quite sessile, occasionally viviparous;
apex serrate-acuminate, 2 to 3 inches long, £ to
£- inch wide, shallowly or deeply cut into oblique,
conspicuously dentate, obtuse segments, 2 to 2£ lines
wide; veins pinnate, simple, much curved, running
into the marginal teeth; son short, J to 1 line long,
rather elevated, confined to the outer veinlets, all
•ingle; involucres pale, raised, the edge barely even.
St. Vincent, West Indies; collected by H. H. and
G. W. Smith. No. 1346. Bootstock not seen. Mr.
Baker, in his enumeration of the St. Vincent Ferns,
in Annuls of Botany, has placed this under A. arbo-
reum, Willd., from the numerous forms of which and
its allies it differs by the equal-sided pinnsB, thin
texture, uniformly serrated margin, short and simple
sori confined to the outer veins. In A. arboreum the
pinnsg are invariably cut away on the inferior base,
the sori are linear, from twice to several times longer,
often double, the inferior veins being uniformly the
fertile ones. Whether this is Guilding’s plant
ascribed to arboreum by Grisebach, not having seen
specimens, I am unable to judge.
