NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF BORNEAN FERNS 
By Edwin Bingham Copeland. 
{From the Bureau of Education, i/a?ii7a, P. I.) 
Dr. F. W. Foxwortliy of the Bureau of Science spent three months 
of tlie present year in Sarawak. In liis collection are several very in- 
teresting ferns, while as a result of his visit^ Mr. John Hewitt, curator 
of the Sarawak Museum, sent nie a collection of ferns recently prepared 
by himself, Mr. C. J. Brooks, and Mr. H. S. Young. Beside the Ilymcno- 
phijllacccc, which I have not yet had time to study, there are a few other 
novelties in this collection which are not described here. 
MACROGLOSSUM Copel. goniis novum, 
Marattiacea angiopteridea caudice globose, frondibus pinnatis, pinnis 
simplicibus, maximis, venulis rccurrentibus carentibus, soris ad marginem 
bullatam rcstrictis istam ejus laminam occupantibus, sporangiis quam in 
Angiopteride numerosioribus. 
Macroglossum Alidae Copel. spec. nova. (Plate I.) 
Frons 3 m alta; rhachi straminea; pinna pulvinato-subsessile, subcor- 
data, ligulata, 40-55 cm. longa, 5-6.0 cm. lata, caudata, Integra, glabra, 
subcoriacea, supra atro-viride, infra olivacea; venulis liberis, furcatis, 
proximis; soris 3-3.5 mm longis, sporangiis 18-22-jugis. 
Sarawak, Ban, on liniostone, leg. H. 8. Young. 
By Mr. Young's request, this species has been named after Mrs. C. J. Brooks. 
Matonia Foxworthyi Copel. spec. nova. (Plate II.) 
Segmentis fere horizontalibus, rectis, linearibus, apicibus rotundatis, 
truncatis, vel retusis; soris utroque latere segmenti enjusque saepe 2 nee 
non rarius 3. 
Sarawak, Mount Poe (Rumput), alt. 1,700 m, Foxworthy 372 (type), 373. 
Matonia pectinata R. Br., of Mount Ophir, Malacca, has the segments falcate 
and acute, leaving the costa of the pinnule at a much more acute angle, and 
narrowed from the base. The longer pinnules of M. Foxworthyi are above 40 cm 
long, the longest segments 35 mm. I know this Bornean plant only from Fox- 
worthy's collection, and can not say whether the M. peciinata previously reported 
from Sarawak is really like the Mount Ophir plant, or is this species, but presume 
that the latter is the case.
