Polypodium pteropus Elume. ' 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, San Antonio, For. Bur. 17656 Curran. , 
This species occurs from India and China to Papua, but I have not before 
seen it from the Philippines. The plants were entirely submerged, and believed 
by Mr. Curran to have been so at all times. The fronds are small, and rarely 
divided but fruiting freely. Except that the major areolae are strongly bullate. 
it does not differ from Chinese subaquatic specimens. ^
