SPICILIGIUM FILICUM rillLIPPINEXSIUM. 183 
yellowisli rliacliis wliicli is very rough with small spines, small whitish costular 
scales, and the basal segments free, remote and narrowed below, but it is readily 
distinguishable from tlie type by its shorter narroAver segments wliich are more 
falcate and more strongly serrate. The pinnules do not exceed 8 cm. in length. 
In general appearance quite different from the type, but having the same essential 
characters. It appears to be an alpine form of tlie species.

94. Alsophila latebrosa (Wall.) Hook. 8p. Kil. 1: 37. 
Tlie ordinary form of this species so conmion in Tn<lia, tlie Malayan Peninsula, 
Java, Borneo, Celebes and Amboina (herb. Christ), is not known to me from the 
Philippines, where the species is reprosentod by a form noi:)bly larger. Tt is 
the same as with Alsophila contaminans, which is represented in the Philippines 
by the large variety Gclchxca.
