June 28, 1913] Some FaRxa of North-Eastken Mindanao 1683 



Between the Masay peaks or the summit peaks of mount 

 Urdaneta, alt. 1800 m., No. 13762. 



Probably near D. sessil ipinna CopeL, P. J. S. VI C (1911) 

 145, as indicated by the pubescence; but a very distinct 

 species. 



Athyrium propinquum n. ?p. 



Species A. pinnato (Blanco) Copel. affinis, quo pinnis fere 

 Hnearibus et fronde sursum valde attenuata distinguitur; 

 fronde 40 cm. alta, longe caudata, infra apicem bulbifera; 

 pinnis stipitatis, 9 cm. longis, 13 mm. latis, subfalcatis, 

 acutis, serratis. 



Mt. Urdaneta, alt. lOoO m., No. 13935- Called Catco 

 by the Manobos. 



Athyrium pinnatum as I construe it is so very variable 

 a species and includes so many forms which have been 

 given names as species, that I do not like to propose 

 another name in the group; but this plant stands so clearly 

 without the range of continuous variation as shown in our 

 collections that this seems still to be the most reasonable 

 way to treat it. 



Asplenium griseum Copel. No. 13599, alt. 450 m., Ma- 

 nobo name Dapog. 



Known only in Mindanao. The terminal leaflet and the 

 one next below it are very close together and almost of 

 the same size, giving the frond a peculiar appearance of 

 truncateness. 



Oavallodes gymnocarpum Copel. No. 14243, Camiguin 

 island, Misamis province. 



Elmer's plants show no trace of an indusium, but a 

 recent collection by Ramos, from the same small island, 

 bears indusia which can be detected. This seems to be 

 another species, and in a new group, which may not develop 

 this st'"ucture. 



Adiantum scabripes Copel. P. J. S. VII C (1912) 55. 



This is the second collection of this beautiful fern, 

 found first by Mr. Weber in the same vicinity. The indusia 

 of some fronds are nearly 1.5 mm. wide.
