Well described by Hillebrand, and surely related to the Aspleniwm cau- 
datum of Hawaii, but still amply distinct. The upper end of the frond 
shows its connection with A. caudatum, which would hardly be recognized 
from the middle and basal parts. 
ASPLENIUM MIRABILE Copel. sp. nov. 
Rhizomate ignoto; stipite ca. 50 cm alto, glabro, nitido, fere 
nigro; fronde oblonga, 1 m alta, utrinque angustata, glabra, 
papyracea, rhachi atro-viride; pinnis stipitatis, utroque latere ca. 
35, inferioribus sterilibus ca. 8 cm longis, 1 cm latis, e basibus 
subobliquis sensim angustatis, ubique oblique inciso-lobatis, lobis 
truncatis emarginatis; medialibus 20 cm longis, 5-8 cm latis, 
valde acuminatis, ad alam angustam oblique pinnatifidis; seg- 
mentis infimis 6-14 mm longis orbicularibus vel obovatis, plerum- 
que truncatis, medialibus 4—7 cm longis, anguste lanceolatis, e 
basibus late adnatis sensim angustatis, late serratis, superioribus 
anguste oblongis emarginatis; venis vix conspicuis, sat distan- 
tibus; soris 5~8 mm longis, in segmentis angustis costulae sub- 
parallelis, in segmentis latis divergentibus;

In spite of its nakedness, I am inclined to group this fern with Aoplenkens 
horridum because of the similarity of the lower pinnae. The two agree 
in texture and venation. Even the topmost pinnae are much more cut than 
those of A. caudatum.

Aside from the exceedingly narrow ultimate divisions, this differs from 
Asplenium schizophyllum C. Chr. (A. dissectum Brack.) in having the 
rachises of the pinnae naked, and winged well toward the base. The 
texture is thinner (thin-membranaceous) and the more conspicuous veins 
do not reach the tips. 
ELAPHOGLOSSUM FAURIEI Copel. sp. nov. 
Elaphoglossum, E. gorgoneo simile, rhizomate minus crasso 
et stipitibus minus confertis, paleis nigris, nitidis, lineari-lanceo- 
latis, rectis, rigidis, integris, cellulis earum elongatis regularibus. 
Faurie No. 88, Molakai, Pukoo, alt. 600 m. 
The specimen sent me has sterile fronds 15 to 20 cm long and 4 to 5 
cm wide, with moderately decurrent base, on stipes 3 to 5 cm long; the 
fertile frond is 20 em long, 2 cm wide, on a naked stipe 20 em long. The 
margin is less evidently distinct in texture than in EZ. gorgoneum.
