Polypodium lineare, var. /3. stenophyllum. Frond very narrow ; 

 the sori large, appearing as knobs on the edge. 10,000 ped. alt.

■000-10.000 



Very common. 



P. MEMBRANACEUM. 7000 ped. alt.

 Frequent. 



P. malacodon. Abundant above 9000 ped. alt. 

 P. Stewartii, Bedd. Plentiful at 8000 ped. alt. 



I think, quite distinct from malacodon. The edge is obscurely 

 serrate (not finely ciliate-serrate as in malacodon), the lowest pair 

 of pinnae ascend with a curve tapering (not spread subdeflexed, as 

 in rnalacodoii) ; at the base of the rachis on the under side is a 

 grey fluff (never seen in malacodon); the rhizoma is stouter, with 

 long, spreading, finely aristate scales. 



P. ebenipes. 7000-10,000 ped. alt. 



Very common.
