578 UNDERWOOD AND MAxon: NOTES ON A 
collected by Charles L. Pollard, Dr. Edward Palmer, and William 
Palmer in the vicinity of Baracoa, Santiago province, Cuba, Feb- 
ruary 1-7, 1902. A sheet of the same number in the herbarium 
of the New York Botanical Garden has a longer portion of the 
stipe. Both herbaria contain earlier specimens collected in eastern 
Cuba by Charles Wright and distributed (no. 951) as A/sophila 
nitens J. Sw. 
ANEMIA HIRTA Sw. ? 
Numbers 121 and 4o1 are well matched by a sheet in the U. 
S. National herbarium (no. 26037) from Jamaica. They repre- 
sent what Jenman regarded as the true Anemia hirta of Swartz, 
and are presumably what Swartz had in hand when describing 
this species. They are, however, scarcely the plant represented 
by Plumier’s plate 157 (which Swartz cites), from Martinique. 
ORNITHOPTERIS sp. 
The specimens of number 2 32, though probably representing 
an undescribed species, are sterile and therefore unsatisfactory for 
purposes of description.

The plants collected as no, 152 are certainly identical with hae s 
species, judging from both the admirable plate and descriptions 
but we do not feel justified in regarding Feé’s species as distinct 
from the Acrostichum apodum of Kaulfuss. Hooker and Greville 
published (Ic. Fil. 1 : p/, 99. 1829), a figure of A. apodum which 
matches several sheets at hand, under this name, as well as the 
new material (no. 152). Feé recognized A. apodum as a distinct 
species ; but Moore in transferring A. platyneuron to Elaphoglos- 
sum (Ind. Fil. 364. 1862), hazards the suggestion «An E. apo- 
dum.” Whether or not the two are one, the name Elaphoglossum 
platyneuron is not available, for the reason that Acrostichum plaiy- 
neuron Feé is antedated by the Linnaean Acrostichum platy 
neuron,
