Baker, J. &. Report on a colleetion of Ferns made 
in the north of Borneo by Burbidge. 
(The Journal of Botany. 1879. Februar), 
Die hier mitgetheilte Liste von Filices von Borneo ist 
eine willkommene Ergänzung zu der 1876 von Cesati publi- 
eirten Arbeit über die von Beccari auf Borneo gesammelten 
 Gefässkryptogamen. Es werden 123 Filices, 1 Equisetum 
(elongatum Willd.), 6 Lycopodiumarten, 6 Selaginellae und ; 
Species von Psilotum aufgeführt. Unter den Filices sind 
Mehrere neue Arten, deren Diagnosen wir folgen lassen. 
 Gleichenia eircinata Sw. var. borneensis Baker. 
A stiff erect-growing form, with the final bipinnate divisions 
unusually long (sometimes a foot in length), the leafy portion 
between the primary and secondary forkings also unusually 
ng, the rachises glabrous, the texture more rigid, and the 
ultimate segments smaller and more hullate than in the 
ustralian type, thus approximating to some of the varieties 
of dicarpa. 
 _Gleichenia vestita Blume, var. paleacea Baker. 
A form differing from the Javan type by its lamina very 
aucous on the under surface and narrower ultimate seg- 
ments, with rachises densely clothed with spreading or 
deflexed linear-subulate ferruginous palae, u ne 
_ Alsophila Burbidgei Baker nova spec. Frond 
ample, tripinnatifid, moderately firm in texfure, green on 
both sides ‚ paler beneath, the under side strongly ciliated 
On the midrib of the pinnules, for the rest nearly glabrous, 
both surfaces and ganhiken entirely free from scales, the 
latter without prickles, those of the pinnae clothed troug- 
“out with fine spreading hairs. Pinnae oblong-lanceolate, 
& foot or more long. Pinnules sessile, lanceolate, two to 
{wo and a helf inches long, half an inch broad, eut down 
10 a narrow wing into ligulate subentire obtuse tertiary 
segments about a line broad. Veins four-to five-jugate, 
ıstant, simple or forked. Sori medial. 
„,. Davallia (Eudavallia) Veitchii Baker n. s 
Rhizome thicker than a quill, epigaeous, wide- creeping, 
elothed with small shining linear acuminate castaneous paleae 
ipes naked, erect, slender, castaneous, one foot to one 
nd a half long. Lamina oblong-deltoid, decompound, one 
00t to one ne a half long, about half a foot broad, quite 
'brous on both surfaces, subcoriaceous in texture. Pinnae innae 
istant, deltoid, stalked, erecto-patent, many of the lower 
nes subequal, four to five inches long by half as broad. 
nnules and tertiary segments subpetioled, rhomboid,
