584 UNDERWOOD AND MAxon: CUBAN PTERIDOPHYTA 
Dryopteris lonchodes Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. 2:813. 1891. 
This species was described from nos. 1007 and 1008 of 
Wright’s Cuban plants. The specimens (no. 239) of the present 
collection agree closely with the type and represent a remarkably 
distinct species. We have seen no other specimens. 
Polystichum aquifolium nom. nov. 
Polystichum ilicifolium Feé, Gen. Fil. 279. 1850-52. Not P. 
tlicfolium Moore, Ind. Fil. 94. 1858, which is Aspzdium ilicifolium 
Don, Prodr. Nep. 3. 1825. 
We have little hesitation in pronouncing the Polystichum ilict- 
folium of Feé, described from specimens collected by Linden in 
Santiago province, Cuba, quite distinct from P. riangulum or any 
other species of this group. The name d/icifolium is quite unten- 
able by reason of Don’s species having been properly transferred 
to Polystichum by Moore. Feé's choice of a specific designation 
was, however, so much to the point that we can do no better than 
substitute aguifolium, the long-used generic name for the holly. 
No. 420 comprises specimens collected near El Cobre, San- 
tiago province, Cuba, by Messrs. Charles L. Pollard and William 
Palmer, February 21-24, 1902, which are identical with Fee's 
plants as represented by p/. 6. f. 4 in his 6th Mémoir (1854)- 
DanakEa noposa (L.) J. Sm.? 
A sterile leaf or two of a Danaea, collected as number 14?, 
show certain differences from the true Danaea nodosa, notably 
the extreme closeness of the venation which averages 18 veinlets 
per centimeter ; but neither stipe nor sporophyll being at hand it 
seems best not to separate as a distinct species.
