This 13 more slender than ijiost specimens and is not quite pinnate. It has 
been determined by Bailey as P, hlechnoides (Grev.) Hook, which would be the 
name to maintain if the species were identical. But the latter as described is 
much broader; and the hairs around the sori could hardly have been overlooked 
m the preparation of Greville^s figures. The sinuses between segments are closed 
to water by a few very peculiar branched hairs, as in the P, decorum of the 
Philippines.
