The specimens agree well with tl»e description of the species. The secondjuy 
leaves, which T presume belong with tlie specimens cited, but witliout I)eing able 
to determine this point with certainty, differ from those of the preceding spi'i-ius 
in their linear, more elongated segments and with a trndmey of the frond to 
become gradually larger and to present auticles at the anterior base of the 
pinnules, a point of union witli Asplenium of the cuncatum group, conf. VrrhandL

Luzon, Province of Rizal, Montalban {Lohcr) January, 1000, a very similar 
form, but slightly larger from the Lamao River, Province of Bataan (85 Barnes), 
This species is distinguished by its very unequal and cn-nuiate pinna;, one 
specimen with secondary leaves bearing also some adult leaves, which, although 
small, are strongly crenulate. Tlie secondary leaves are rather large, 10 cm. 
long, 4 cm. wide, nearly sessile, tripinnatifid, the rachis reddiah, Oexuous, the 
piiin;e ovate, obtuse, 2 cm. long, 1 cm. wide; the pinnules serrate, cut into linear 
segments which are obtuse, often bi- or tri-furcate, 2 mm. long, 0.5 to I mm. 
wide, the color very dark green.

Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, San Ramon (1749 Copeland), alt. 750 m. 
Judging from the above authentic specimen this is a very distinct species, 
characterized by the cartilaginous borders of the adult piinne.

This is the plant described by me iu Dull. Jlcrb. Boisa. 11. 6 ( I9U0) !M)7, and 
which approaches >b'. MUnct Underw. ex descr., but which it is imposhihle for me 
to identify specifically because fertile fronds are lacking.

This species, found by Cuming, is cited by Copeland in his Polypodiaceje of 
the Philippines 54, without exact locality. It appears to be rare. I have 
specimens from Montalban, Province of Rizal, Luzon, collected by Loher m 
JTarch, 1906, that agree exactly with Hooker's figure, except that Loher's 
specimens are smaller, and have bi- to tri-pinnatilid fronds instead of tri- to 
quadri-pinnatifld ones.
