All the other species of Christcnsenia (Kaulfussia) known to mc liaye the 
0. lateral plnnse rather strongly pctioled. DeVricse and Ilarting have indicated in 
tl»eir Monograph of the Marattiaceae 14, tliat the Kaulfussia fonnd by Cuming 
i'l the Philippines, which was considerably smaller than tlie other known forms, 
might perhaps prove to be a distinct species. In comparison with specimens from 
Assam, leg. King; Selaiigor, leg. Ridley; Java, leg. Eavihorslci, ahd Sumatra, 
leg. ScJincider, the specimens from Mindanao are very reduced. The fertile 
frond is often simple and when it is tripartite the lobes arc joined at the base, 
* not petiolate, and very unequal, whitish beneath.

There are two forms hitherto confounded as Aspidiuni coadmiafutn Wall, or 
even as A. oicutarium Sw., which is a very different West Indian speciea. After 
a careful examination and comparison with other specimens of the Malayan and 
wider Asiatic area, I can indicate the following diagnostic points:
