Acrostichum has been considered to include a much larger array of species, including, as in the previous editions of the Cyclopedia of Horticulture, ferns of very diverse form and habit of growth. Fern students, however, are now united in distributing the species of Acrostichum as formerly understood among several genera. Thus the species included in Acrostichum in the former Cyclopedia are here grouped in several genera as follows: Acrostichum: (as above). Elaphoglossum: conforme, crinitum, flaccidum, gorgoneum, muscosum, pilosum, reticulatum, simplex, squamosum, vicosum, villosum; Leptochilus: alienum, nicotianaefolium; Olfersia:cervina; Polybotrya: osmundacea; Rhipidopteris: peltata; Stenochlaena: scandens, sorbifolia. R. C. Benedict.
