Lindsaya cultrata var. minor Hook. Sp. Fil. 1;204. 
Alt. 300 m., No. 9989. > 
This little variety is common in Negros, and seems quite 
distinct from typical L. cultrata; but in Benguet the gap 
between them is filled by intermediate forms. 
Lindsaya monosora Copel. spec. nova. 
La rigida affinis, pinnulis herbaceo-papyraceis, venulis haud 
salientibus, indusiis tenuibus distincta. 
On lower or sheltered, moss-covered tree trunks, alt. 
1400 m., No. 10077. 
This is a very large Lindsaya, the brown stipe 20 cm. or 
more high, sparsely scaly at the base, the frond proper some- 
times 50 cm. long with 3 to 5 pairs of subopposite or alternate, 
rather strict, acuminate pinnae, overtopped by the terminal 
one. The larger pinnules are 7 mm. long, 4 mm. deep, entire 
below, crenate on the upper» side, provided each with a 
single sorus at the outer point, or on the upper side 
near the outer point. The veins are free except that 2 or 
more coalesce in the base of each sorus. Beside differing as 
noted above, L. rigida has rather larger and broader pinnules, 
and sometimes more than one sorus on each. However, the 
species are so close together that if I had known L. rigida 
by description only I would not have called this distinct. The 
manner in which the veins of L. rigida stand out from both 
surfaces of the dried frond i is not likely to be appreciated 
vntil it is seen. 
Lindsaya decia D Willd. 
- In wet woods, terrestrial, in ravines, alt. 1050 m., No. 9635, 
and in mossy forests, alt. 1450 m. 
Throughout the Philippines. 
India to Polynesia. — 
No. 9635 shows this plant to vary widely in a single place 
Lindsaya pulchella (J. Sm.) Mett. 
A few meters from the ground on small trunks in damp 
woods, alt. 1200 m., No. 9773. ‘‘Bananat.’’ 
Throughout the Philonis 
Malaya to Samoa. 
Elmer states that the finds sometimes fork.
