It is Aspidium glanduligerum, Kunze, Analecta, p. 44; Mett. 
Aspid. p. 86. It is Asp. gracilescens, Mett. in herb. Kew, 
but it is not equal to Hooker's type of N. gracilescens. Sir W. 
J. Hooker founded his description on, and described from, an 
authentic example of Aspidium glanduligerum, Blume, now in the 
Kew herbarium. In this var. p. glanduligera the rhizome is very 
slender and wide-creeping ; the ultimate segments are puberulo- 
glandulose. Colonel Beddome (Handbook Ferns Brit. India, 
p. 234) says that his Lastrea gracilescens has tufted stipes; and 
he now tells me that this is Nephrodium gracilescens, var. hirsu- 
tipes, C. B. Clarke, in which the stripes are approximate. Mr. 
Baker is disposed to regard Nephrodium gracilescens, N. glanduli- 
gerum, and N. hirsutipes as three species. 
NEPHRODIUM FLACCIDUM, Hook. 
Kohima, alt. 4500 feet. 
Rhizome short, often slender incurved, with approximate 
stipes.

N. Frnix-Mas, Rich., var. KHASIANA. 
Kohima, alt. 6000 feet. 
This is very large, and not distinguishable from some of the var. 
patentissima (sp., Wall.) from the Central Himalaya. The Khasi 
examples of var. patentissima have a soft thick stipe with pale 
yellow-brown scales.
