676 UnpDERWoop: A REVIEW 
specimens enumerated above are placed under D. Moritziana. D. 
Moritziana is from Colombia and has the pinnae of the sterile leaf. 
quite different in shape, tapering toward the cuneate base and much 
more gradually toward the apex; intercostal spaces 16-17 to 1 
cm. According to Jenman it is “plentiful in moist stony for- 
ests 5,000 ft. altitude.” It is not impossible that the true D. 
Moritziana will also be found in Jamaica but so far we have seen 
no specimens. fy \ 
10. Danaea Wrightii sp. nov. 
A low-growing coarse plant with blunt sterile pinnae, small nar- 
row pinnae on the sporophylls and forked veins. | Rootstocks 
almost woody ; stipes of sterile leaves 24-28 cm. long, usually 
with two nodes ; pinnae 8-12 pairs, about 2 cm. apart, with a ter- 
minal pinna considerably longer than those of the upper pairs, all 
distinctly stalked, unequally rounded or blunt at the base, 6-7 ¢™. 
long, 2 cm. or less wide, the margin becoming serrulate toward 
the blunt apex ; lower pairs of pinnae smaller and more distant 
(3-4 cm.); veins mostly once forked, the intercostal spaces 11-15 
to I cm.; stipe of sporophylls stout, rusty-scurfy, with 8-12 pairs 
of pinnae, 3-4.5 cm. long, 6-8 mm. wide, distinctly stalked ( 5-8 
mm.), the lower pair often distant and smaller, al] blunt at both 
ends and mucronate at apex.

Puerto Rico: Sintenis, 4681 C, (sterile specimens but appat

This species is clearly distinct from any other of our series in 
the elongate terminal pinna and the long-stalked short blunt 
pinnae of the sporophylls.
