Polypodium (Eupolypodium) Burbidgei Baker, 
n. sp. Caudex suberect, its paleae clathrate, large, linear, 
membranous, brown, distinetly ciliated. F'ronds tufted, ses- 
sile, lanceolate, once deeply pinnatifid, reaching a foot in 
length, twelve to fourteen lines broad at the middle, eut 
down to a broad wing to the rachis into numerous close 
entire obtuse ascending segments one-eighth of an inch broad 
at the base, the lower segments growing gradually smaller 
downwards and the basal third of the rachis bordered only 
by an entire wing, which is one-sixth of an inch broad at 
the top and narrowed gradually downwards. Texture sub- 
 eoriaceous. Under surface slightly pubescent on the rachis, 
the rest glabrous. Veins distant, simple, erecto-patent, falling 
short of the edge. Sori globose, slightly immersed, mainly 
in a single-row in the wıng of the main rachis, not forming

eut down to the main rachis into very numerous ligulate 
entire slightly twisted adnate contiguous pinnae one quarter 
of a line broad, with a single medial nerve, and a single 
superficial sorus at the tip, firm in texture, green and gla 
brous on both surfaces, the lower pinnae gradually reduced 
in size. 
er Polypodium (Eupolypodium) taxodioides, 
Baker, n. sp. Rhizome filiform, ereeping widely below 
the surface of the ground. Stipes wiry, brown, one inch 
to one and a half long, clothed like the rachis with fine 
spreading brown hairs. Frond lanceolate, regularly bipin 
nate, six to eight inches long, eighteen to twenty-one lines 
broad. Pinnae numerous, close, lanceolate, one-quarter Ü 
an inch broad, regularly pectinato-pinnate, with narrow linear 
parallel erecto- patent mt: secondary segments DO 
more than eh of a line broad. Texture rather rigid 
Both surfaces glabrous. Sori confined to a few of the up 
permost pinnae, placed singly in the centre of the secoR 
dary segments. ; 5
