The other specimens cited here from oar own herbarium are identical 
with Cuming's !N"o. 4 of which our specimens are sterile. The fertile 
frond is sometimes almost as ample as the sterile, but more often is 
strongly contracted; Mettenius, Aspidium l^o. 287, says ''Folia 
siihdifformia/' In spite of my declaration in this Jol'unal, I Suppl. 
(1906) 145, that the plant is without indusia, I must now state that on 
immature fronds they can often be seen, and are irregular in form.

Merrill's specimens fit Hooker's description perfectly except that the 
bases of the pinnae, Avhile broad and unequal, are not cuncate. The 
peculiar venation distinguishes this from any other Philippine fern.

Cuming's plant in Herb. Bureau of Science is labeled Aspidium 
repandum in Smith's writing, of which we have abundant specimens (Cf. 
Presl. Epim. Bot. p. 523). Instead of being, as stated by Hooker, Sp. 
Fil. 4: 58. too near A. pachyphyllum, this species is closely related to 
T, polymorpJia and T. irrigua, from which it is distinguished by the 
long, narrow pinnae and more persistent indusia. We have fertile fronds 
which are simple, trifoliate, and with 3 pairs of lateral pinnaj.
