This presents the appearance of a well-established species. It is large, fascic- 
ulate, with a definitely established dimorphism, and is readily recognizalile by 
its numerous pectinate lanceolate pinnie, stipitate and manifestly hastate at 
the base, the nerves forming several areolae. In some respects it resembles 
Egcnolfia appendiculata and might be mistaken for that species except that the 
bases of the pinnjc are equal.

This is a reduced form of D, Merrillii with obtuse piun*, more simple venation 
and the pinnee auriculate only anteriorly.

A small plant resembling D. Awhoinensis (Willd. Sp. PL 5: 228, Aspidium) , 
but even smaller than that species, with numerous obtuse auricles on the stipe, 
narrow pinnae which are scarcely incised, and more numerous sori.

Samar (327 ? Cuming) 1836-40. The interrogation point concerns only the 
number in Cuming's series, and not the plant itself, the identity of which is 
incontestable. 
I do not consider that the elongated sori and their arrangement in horizontal 
lines merits the generic separation of this form, as in all other respects it is a 
trtie Nephrodium.
