POLYPODIUM SUBRETICULATUM sp. nov. 
Eupolypodium, rhizomate brevi-repente, paleis laete brunneis 
ovato-lanceolatis dense vestito; stipitibus proximis, 1-2 cm altis, 
validis, setis purpureo-castaneis ca. 2 mm longis vestitis; fronde 
usque ad 25 cm alta et 12 mm lata, utrinque sensim attenuata, 
integra vel subintegra, coriacea, pilis fere nigris sparsis vestita 
vel in vetustate calva; venis furcatis venulis liberis, vel 2-4 
ramos emittentibus et venulis hic illuc haud saepe anastomosan- 
tibus; soris irregulariter 2-3-seriatis, superficialibus, orbicu- 
laribus vel oblongis.

This suggests P. congenerum and P. diplosorum Christ, both of which, 
on the more ample fronds, have sori in plural rows or scattered. The oc- 
casional anastomosis of veins is also correlated with the ampleness of the 
entire froud, and is occasionally seen in the various species of the group. 
Loxogramme is a group derived form Eupolypodium with entire fronds; 
its fronds are in general more ample than in any of the parent group, and 
reticulate venation is a fixed character. 
POLYPODIUM SHAWII sp. nov. 
Eupolypodium gregis P. obliquati Bl., praecipue P. multicaudo 
Copel. simile; fronde forma insigniter dilatata, ca. 25 cm alta, 15 
cm lata; segmentis rhachin versus sterilibus et 4—4.5 mm latis, 
deinde in partem intercalatam vel usque ad apicem attingentem 
fertilem 2.5 mm latam plus minus abrupte angustatis; soris per- 
multis, parvis, valde immersis, ore receptaculi plano.

POLYPODIUM TENUISSIMUM sp. nov. 
Goniophlebium verum pinnis angustissimis; rhizomate calca- 
reo, paleis angustis sat deciduis vestito; phyllopodio 3 mm alto, 
valido; stipite 20 cm alto, 3 mm crasso, deorsum minute et 
decidue paleaceo, sursum rhachique glabris, nitidis, castaneis; 
fronde verosimiliter ultra 1 m alta, ca. 20 cm lata, alis acros- 
copicis pinnarum exceptis glabra; pinnis remotis, sessilibus, 
basibus leviter dilatatis truncatis, usque ad 14 cm longis et 
maximis scilicet fronde mea carentibus, supra basin 3-5 mm 
latis, acuminatis, minute et argute serratis, papyraceis; venis 
areolam unam inconspicuam includentibus; soris parvis, immer- 
sis, permultis. 
Mount Tuan, King 391. 
An immediate relative of P. subauriculatum Bl., with exceedingly slender 
pinnae, separated by five times their own breadth. A Philippine fern called 
by Christ P. subauriculatum integrum has pinnae almost as narrow, but 
closer together, shorter, entire and thicker. My specimen of P. tenuissimum
