ANTHERICUM (TRACHYANDRA) OATESII, Baker in Trimen’s _Journal of
Botany_, 1878, p. 324. (Plate J.)
Rootstock not seen complete; outer tunics produced as a membrane round
its neck. Produced leaves 5–6, contemporary with the flowers, terete
above the sheathing base, ½ foot long, ½ line in diameter, clothed
with fine soft deflexed white hairs as long as the diameter of the
leaf. Scape as long as the leaves, pilose in the lower part glabrous
upwards. Raceme lax, simple, ½ a foot long, 1–1¼ inch in diameter;
bracts minute, deltoid; pedicels erecto-patent, the lower ones ½–¾ inch
long. Perianth white, fugacious; segments ¼ inch long, lanceolate, with
a distinct 1-nerved or obscurely 3-nerved brown keel. Stamens falling
a little short of the perianth-segments; filaments muricate; anthers
oblong, very minute. Style declinate, just overtopping the anthers.
Near the Abyssinian _A. Saltii_, and Cape _A. pubescens_.

ADIANTUM OATESII, Baker. (Plate K.)
Stipe slender, brown, glabrous. Lamina pedate, with 6–7 pinnate
divisions, the largest 6–8 inches long, 1¼–1½ inch broad; end segment
cuneate, ½–1 inch broad; side segments dimidiate, shortly petioled,
all, except the lowest, rather ascending, imbricating over the rachis
at the inner anterior corner, the largest ¾–⅞ inch broad, ½ inch long,
straight and truncate on the lower and inner borders, cut into deep
rounded lobes on the upper and outer borders; lower segments gradually
dwindling down in size; rachis quite glabrous and scale-less, bright
brown; texture thin, membranous; both surfaces bright green and
glabrous. Sori not seen. Veins close, fine, distinct, flabellate, free.
Closely allied to the American and Asiatic _A. pedatum_, Linn., from
which it differs by the fewer divisions of the frond, the outer ones
not falcately curved, and its shortly-petioled ultimate segments, which
are fewer, broader, and imbricated over the rachis.
