IX, G1 Copeland: New Papuan Ferns 5 
T. leuzeanae anastomosantibus; soris parvis, multis, plerisque 
submarginalibus; indusio persistente. : 
Woodlark Island, King 402. 
Distinguished from TECTARIA SUBAEQUALE n. comb. (Aspidium 
subaequale Rosenstock, Fedde’s Repert. 13 (1918) 176) by the form of 
the frond, and from this and other related species by the fine dissection 
of the frond. The color is that of 7. leuzeana. 
ATHYRIUM FIMBRISTEGIUM sp. nov. 
Stipite alto, 5 mm crasso, atropurpureo-castaneo, glabrescente, 
inerme; fronde 80 cm alta. ca. 50 cm lata, tripinnatifida, rhachi 
furfuracea, glabrescente; pinnis alternantibus, brevistipitatis, 
inferioribus 25-30 cm longis, usque ad 12 cm latis, acuminatis, 
rhachibus praecipue in furca minute furfuraceis; pinnulis hori- 
zontalibus, brevissime stipitatis, valde acuminatis, usque ad 13 
mm latis, profunde pinnatifidis; segmentis ca. 2 mm latis, sub- 
faleatis, integris vel obscure serrulatis, obtusis vel subacutis, 
glabris, herbaceis; venulis simplicibus, utroque latere usque ad 
8; soris costularibus, plus minus ad mediam laminam protensis, 
infimis exceptis simplicibus; indusio tenue, laete brunneo, lacero- 
lobato. 
King 386, without definite locality. 
A member of the A. silvaticum (Bl) Milde group, but the ultimate divi- 
sions much finer and sori relatively longer. Diplazium arborescens Sw. is 
reported from Kaiser Wilhelmsland (Schumann and Lauterbach; Flora der 
deutschen Schutzgebiete, p. 125), but is otherwise unknown from this part 
of the world; it has more ample ultimate divisions and light-colored axes. 
Athyrium aunteals (R. Br.) Presl, var. muricatum, is reported in the same 
work; it also is less finely divided and otherwise distinct. 
“DIPLAZIUM BULBIFERUM Brack.” ? 
Loane, King 397; Mamba, King 398. 
Can be separated, though not too sharply, from Athyrium pinnatum 
(Blanco) Copel., including the D. bulbiferum of the Philippines. 
ADIANTUM KINGII sp. nov. 
Stipitibus confertis, purpureo-atris, nitidis, usque ad 10 cm 
altis, basibus pilis atropurpureis dense vestitis; fronde ubique 
glaberrima, bipinnata, parte apicale usque ad 10 cm alta, pinnis 
pinnatis paucis; pinnulis pedicellatis, usque at 10 mm longis, 
7 mm latis, infimis plerumque minoribus, trapeziformibus, vel 
minoribus obovatis vel suborbicularibus, coriaceis, leviter pauci- 
lobatis, marginibus basi- et rachiscopicis integris, aliis minute 
dentatis; venis flabellatis, liberis; soris paucis, 1-5 mm latis;

-Tamata, King 420.
