similibus composita videtur, quaruni T. Brooksii a T. Labrusca (teste

Bidi, on limestone, Brooks 26a. 
Brooks sends also T. Lahrusca, Xo. 2G; plate 109 A, with the following note: 
I can not agree that these two specimens are the same, P. Labrusca. They 
coiiiinuuly occur on the limestone, and often together. They are always distinct. 
Even very yonng plants show the same differences in form and texture."

Stipitibus confertis, validis, brevibus (1-2 cm longis), paleis angustis 
usque ad 3.5 mm longis sparsis plerisque adpressis vestitis; fronde ca. 
80 cm alta., 10 cm lata, rufo-viride, infra pilis miuutis tcrnatis vestita:

Bau, Sarawak, Brooks 25, 1909. 
N'far A. amhoinense, but larger and broader, with fewer and smaller scales 
at the, base, spores (in my specimens) more spiny, and diatin^ished especially 
^y the pubescence of fine, short hairs, borne in threes with a common base. The- 
son fall slightly short of the margin, but some of them reach the costa. Dedicated 
to its discoverer, Mr. C. J. Brooks.
