Notes
Two species of Thelypteris which have been confused and to which a number of names have been applied were found to be separable by a number of characters. They must now be called Thelypteris opulenta and T. wagneri. Their distribution is Indo-Pacific, extending to Africa, and T. opulenta introduced into tropical America. T. wagneri and an African species, T. fadenii, are here described as new. The name Thelypteris interrupta, heretofore applied to this complex, is shown to be the correct name for what has commonly been called Dryopteris gongylodes and Thelypteris totta.
