1682 Leaflets of Philippine BotAny [Vol. V, Abt. 90 



faracea vel deinde glabrescente, sub pinna quaque glandulifera; 

 pinnis 40 — 50 cm. lorigis, brevi-stipitatis, abrapte acuminatis, 

 rhachi minute aculeata, pallida et ob squamulas minutas 

 ciiierea, paleis angustis paucis adspersa; pinnulis subsessilibus, 

 lanceolatis, acuminatis, fere ad costam pinnatifidis, sterilibus 

 usque ad 10 cm. longia, 18 mm. latis, fertilibus pauUo 

 minoribus, costa superne sparse velutina, inferne deorsum 

 Bquamulis minutes et paleis paucis ovatis pallidis vestita; 

 segraentis 10 mm. longis, 2.5 mm. latis, subfalcatis, acutis, 

 sursum serratis, papyraceis, costis sparse pallide paleaceis; 

 venulis utroque latere ca. 12, plerisque furcatis; soris costu- 

 laribus, magnis, confertis; iiidusio amplo, laete brunneo, in 

 segmenta inagna persistentia fisso. 



Between the peaks of Duros and Cawilanan, alt. 1050 

 m., No. 13860. 



Probably as near to C. mitrata Copel. as to any species. 



Elmer states that there are "No scales on the stipes 

 or stipe bases along the trunk, only the young bud cover- 

 ed with relative castaneous scales"? 



Dryopteris viscosa (J. Sm.) O. K. No. 13555. 



In spite of its free veinlets, this is unmistakably a 

 near relative of Mesochlaena polycarpa (Bl.) Bedd. The pub- 

 escence is in this case a better group character than the 

 anastomosis of the veinlets. 



Dryopteris urdanetensis n. sp. 



Rhizomaie breve, repente, 1 — 2 mm. crasso; stipitibus 

 confertis, 3 — 10 cm. altis, rhachique pilis retrorso-incurvis 0.2 — 

 0.4 mm. longis pallidis dense vestitis; fronde lineari-lanceolata, 

 acummata, 8 — 15 cm. longa, deorsum pinnata, supra mediam 

 pinnatifida; segmentis ca. 3 mm. latis, oblongis, apice ro- 

 tundatis, margine revolutis, papyraceis, ubique minute pilosis, 

 inferne minute glandulosis; pinnis infimis plerumque reraotis 

 et diminutes, brevi-stipitatis, medialibus lobato-dentatis, ses- 

 silibus, superioribus adnatis; venis in pinnis et segmentis 

 infimis farcatis et liberis, alibi plerumque simplicibus, venulis 

 infimis segmentorum adjacentium saepe anastomosantibus; 

 soris medialibus, indusio hirauto.
