larger. 
Ausacenny a quite distinct species, recognizable by its limited branching, 
minute hairiness on the main axes, and narrow indusium divided not more 
than half-way down. By definition it would as well be a Trichomanes, but 
the color, the texture, and the hairs all show its real relationship. 
TRICHOMANES MICROLIRION Copel. sp. nov. 
Rhizomate filiforme late repente, pilis nigris brevibus dense 
vestito; stipitibus gracilibus, supra pedes glabris, 5-15 mm altis, 
teretibus, haud alatis; fronde ovata, 4-6 m alta, rhachi exalata; 
pinnis infimis stipitatis stipitibus brevibus exalatis, medialibus 
maximis, oblongis, obtusis, ad alam angustam costae usque ad 
rachin decurrentem pinnatisectis, segmentis iterumque in seg- 
menta ultima 2-5 lineari-oblonga vel linearia 0.6 mm lata pin- 
natisectis, margine, recta vel subcrispa, vena spuria submargin- 
ale interrupta; soris apicalibus, aut sparsis, aut paniculatis et 
alis pinnarum carentibus, anguste obconicis, bilateraliter mar-

Distinguished by the large, entire limb of the involucre and the naked 
rachis. The involucres of fully fruiting specimens form an inflorescence 
in which no green lamina is’ present. 
DRYOPTERIS HOSEI (Baker) C. Chr. 
No. 2577, Retuh. I have this also from Bidi, along the river, collected 
by Brooks. 
There are exceedingly small but very persistent indusia which are dark- 
brown and slightly hairy. This fern illustrates anew the futility (and 
worse) of maintaining such “genera” as Menisciuwm and Phegopteris, to both 
of which it has been assigned. 
TECTARIA LOBBII (Hooker) Copel. 
Aspidium Lobbii Hooker. Sp. Fil. 4 (1862) 59, t. 282. 
No. 2589, Retuh. I have it also from Bidi and it is reported from several 
localities. Contrary to Hooker’s diagnosis, free veins are present; and, 
indeed, his plate shows some of them.
