COLLECTION OF CuBAN PTERIDOPHYTA 581 
A majority of the plants have the appearance of being quite 
glabrous ; but careful examination of a more perfect specimen 
shows that the lower portions of the stipe possess an inconspicuous 
soft stellate pubescence which becomes more scattering above but 
is rather noticeable on the midvein and lower veins of the frond, 
and that the margin of the frond is sparingly ciliate. 
GONIOPHLEBIUM PILOSELLOIDES (L.) J. Sm. 
To this species we have referred numbers 47, 181 and 182. 
There is to be observed considerable variation, particularly in the 
shape of the sterile leaf ; but the specimens are undoubtedly all 
teferable to the single species. 
CAMPYLONEURON REPENS (L.) Presl. 
The need of a critical study of the group to which this species 
belongs, in connection with the types preserved in European her- 
baria, permits no closer determination of no. 184 than the above 
Which is to be considered merely tentative. 
ADIANTUM FRUCTUOSUM Poppig 
We have not seen herbarium material of this species, but judg- 
ing from the excellent description there can be little doubt that 
under no. 66 we have the plant described by Péppig in Sprengel, 
Syst. Veg. 4: 113. 1827, and later by Kunze in Linnaea, 9: 81.

ADIANTUM FRAGILE Sw. 
; The specimens of no. 421, although very uniform, are unusual 
M the shape of the segments which are narrowly cuneate and often 
Somewhat bilobed. Otherwise they seem quite typical. 
STRUTHIOPTERIS Sp. 
The material comprising number 146 consists of sterile leaves 
Paly.. The species, which is probably undescribed is one ot the 
‘tveral forms to which the name Lomaria attenuata Willd. is usu- 
ally given,
