Dtplazium palauanense Copel. 
+ 
111 hujiiid forests at 200 in. tilt. (No. 591.1). 
Hitherto kuawu from Palawan only. 
^ One large frond has 16 pairs of pinnae, the largest nearly 40 em. long but only 
3 cm. broad. A few "sori" are scolopendvoid and some sori reach the margin; 
in spite of tliis modification of its character, however, the species is very distinct 
from D. hantamense. 
Diplazium Woodii Oopel. n. sp. 
Rhizoinate erecto, 1 cm. crasso; stipitibus confortis^ 20-M) cm. altis^ 
.^ 2 mm. crassis, rectis, basibus brimneo-iiigris, dense bnmneo-falcato- 
paleaceis^ sursum rhachibusque stramineo-bruiiiicis^ pakis paucis 2-3 mm. 
longis castanei^: angustis distantibus \q\ dofloxis pparsis vestitis; fromle 
40-o0 cm. alta^ vix 20 em. lata, acuminata, bi])inn;ttifida; pinnis utroque 
latere 12-17, mcdialibus maximis horizontalibus brevi-pcilicellatis 2 cm. 
latis, acuminatiSj rbacliin versus truiuafif^, profinide piuiiatifidi.s, glabris, 
herbacois, supra atro-viridibus infra olivaceis, costa castanea; segmentis 
oblongis, 5 mm. latis, subfalcatis, oblique truncatis serrulatis, ala 1.5 
^ mm. lata connexis sinubus ca. 1 mm. latis interpositis, vcnulis simplicibus, 
I 5-6-jugatis; soris 2-3 mm. longis, obliquis, rarissimo diplazoideis costa 
remotis nee ad marginem attingontibus. 
In silvis, 300 m. s. m. (No. 5i)17). 
I This would seem to be very near to liUinir's D. acuminatum^ so far as the 
original description of tliat species shows, but dillVrs from Christ's undoubtedly 
correct interpretation of that species * in the paleaceous stipe, deeply cut pinnae 
and in some minor details: I would not call it in the Japonicnm group. 
It is dedicated to Major-Gem'ral Leonard Wood. 
t^ Diplazium asperum Bl. 
In forests at 300 m. alt. (No. 5918). Fronds 2 to 3 m. liigh on stipes 1 m. 
high. The same fern has been foimd near tlie base of ^ilouni Ilalcon by McGregor 
(No. 277). 
India, Java. 
ANISOGONIUM Presl. 
i 
I am by no means convinced that this gcnns will stand, but it is at least as 
distinct from Diplazium as the latter is from Athyrium, and as all our species 
already have names in Anisogonium, its use here does not encumber nomenclature. 
Anisogonium cordifolium (Ul.) Bedd. 
On ridges on the mossy forest at 1,400 m. alt. (No. 5909;, fronds all simple; 
on forested ridges at 850 m. alt. (No. 5910), fronds all pinnate and tbe venation 
approaching thai of A. alis mar folium. 
Luzon and southward. 
Malaya. 
Anisogonium aiismaefolium (J. Sm.) Christ. 
In humid forests at 200 m. alt. (No. 5911 ), fronds all simple, upper surface 
r 
with beautiful metallic luster. 
Luzon, Mindanao. 
Celebes.
