fitted the usual diagnosis of that genus. Its inclusion makes 
Lorogramme difficult indeed to diagnose, but whoever attempts 
to simplify the matter should remember that we have al- 
ready L. parallela whose sori are sometimes apparently paral- 
lel to the costa, but interrupted, that dimorphism sometimes 
occurs in L. lanceolata, and is characteristic of L. iridifolia 
(Gymnogramme Christ, Verh. Nat. Ges. Basel. 2 (1895) 248. 
Ann. Jard. Buitenz. 15: 170, P}. 16); and that L. conferta 
is as dimorphous as this species and sometimes seems to bave 
a single sorus parallel to each side of the costa. 
Loxogramme has ever since Blume been suspected of affi- 
nity with Antrophyum; but this species suggests Pleurogramme 
as strongly, both in described. characters and in the more 
elusive ones such as the bearing of the frond, as any of 
the older species does Antrophyum. Indeed, we have in the 
same island of Negros Pleurogramme. intermedia Copel. (Mono- 
gramme Copel. in Philip. Journ, Sci. 1 Suppl. (1906) 225), a 
species, strikingly like, in aspect, to the fertile fronds of 
this, and which, like this, is without idioblasts in the epidermis. 
By definition, the genus to which L. dimorpha would have 
had to be assigned is Drymoglossum, which, in part, is almost 
certainly a group congenetie with Cyclophorus.
