Luzon, Province of Benguet, Mount Santo Tomas (6538 Elmer] June, 1904: 
District of Lopanto, Mount Data (1858 Copeland) October, 1905. 
Lohcr lias found the same species previously on Mount Mariveles, Province of 
Bataan, Luzox, September, 1893, but his specimens are larger, 55 cm. tall. 
Very nearly the same species is found in Celebes (1322 SaTosin) November, 
1895, but in Sarasiri's plant the segments are longer and the rachis is also 
proliferous! A small species resembling Asplenium cuncatum Lam., and A. 
praemorsuTu Sw., which are frequently found in herbaria under the name A . 
laserpitiifolium, and sometimes under the name A. cbntigiium. A good species 
characterized by its stipe and rachis being covered with scales. 
I no longer maintain as a Philippine species Asplenium nitidum, that I previ- 
ously credited to Luzon.^ 1 have not seen from the Archipelago the large plant 
with long pinnules wliich are auricled and deoply incised such as is represented 
in Malacca, by specimens leg. Ridley and in Burnuo, leg. Niewenhuis, etc.
