St. Vincent, West Indies; collected by H. H. and
6. W. Smith. No. 1346. Rootstock not seen. Mr,
Baker, in his enumeration of the St. Vincent Ferns,
in Annals 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 pinna, thin
texture, uniformly serrated margin, short and simple
sori confined to the outer veins. In A. arboreum the
pinnw 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 thi*^ is Guilding’s plant
Ascribed to arboreum by Grisebach, not having seen
specimens, I am unable to judge.
