280 COPELAND. 
Asplenium Wrightii Eaton. 
Dunn 3S^i, Lin Fa Shan. 
Already known from Japan and China. Mr. Dunn's plant is sharply serrate, 
hut not lobed. I have also an otherwise typical Japanese specimen which is not 
lohcd; and Christ reports from Swatow a merely dentate form (Ac. Geog. Bot. 
(1906) 243.) 
Asplenium adnatum Copel. sp. nov. 
Ehizomate suberecto, 5 mm erasso; stipitibus confertis, 10-15 cm 
altis, nigro-castaneis, paleis 5 mm longis aiigustissimis subdeciduis sparse 
vestitis; fronde 15-20 cm alta, ca. 3 cm lata, pinnata; rhachi supra 
viride unilincata, infra deorsiim ut stipite; pinnis oblongis horizontalibus 
vel superioribus adseendentibus, rotiindalis^ apices versus obscure dentatis^ 
late adnatis sed plerisque rhachin versus angustatis, (infimis aequalibus 
subdistantibus exceptis) ala counexis, sapremis coadunatis, coi-iaceis, 
supra glabris, infra pallidis puberulis; venis sub flab ell a tis, inconspicuis ; 
soris paucis, longis, obliquis. 
Tai Mo Shan, S. China, 800 m. s. m. inter aaxa granitica. Matthew 3. 
A member of the group of A. crinicaule Hance, well characterized by the adnate, 
and throughout the most of the frond coalescing, very obtuse pinnic. 
Woodwardia Kempii Copel. sp. nov. 
Species Woodwardiae Harlandi affinis, fronde sterile ignota, fertile 
20 cm alta, 15 cm lata, bipinnatifida, subcoriacea, glabra; segmentis * 
infimis liberis vel sequentibus ala angusta connexis, subfalcatis late 
oblanceolatis ; segmentis " infimis utroquc latere reductis et remotis, supra 
mediam partem segmenti primae ordinis maximis, usque ad 3 cm longis, 
ea. 5 mm latis, f alcatis sinu exsculpto separatis, apieem versus serrulatis ; 
venulis laxe anastomosantibus : soris et ad rbachidem alalam frondis, et 
ad costas segmentorum ^ inter ramum et ramum continuis, et ad costas 
segmentorum^-^ interruptis fere ad apieem attingentibus. 
Kwangtung, Kemp. 
Distinguished from W, Harlandi by the long-lobed segments, and the row of 
sori practically the whole length of the rachis. Mr. Kemp's collection includes 
also W. japonica (L. f.) Smith, and W. orientalis var. prolifera, hitherto known 
from Formosa, the Riu Kiu, and Batanes Islands. 
Adiantum Capillus-Veneris L. 
Dr. Matthew's collection contains three ferns very distinct in appearance, and 
none typical A. Capillus Veneris, but all for the present more safely referred 
here than held separate. No. 23 is a shallowly cut form, smaller than A. refractum 
Christ. No. 21 is a large specimen of the deeply cut form "B" of Species Filicum. 
No. 22 is a large form, the stipe 30 cm and the lamina 40 cm long, which tallies 
with Vaceari's Italian "forma giganteumJ' 
Plagiogyria adnata (Bl.) Bedd. 
Dunn 39S(j is a form with broad, short segments, with sinuses dilated and of 
about the usual width, the stipe and rachis 4 angled. The species is known in 
China only from Yunnan and Kouy Cheou and the identification of this is not 
positive.
