Clarke says this plaut differs very little, in his opinion, from L. fteniosum, 

 and Beddome that it is probably only a form of L. Jiexuosum. Why not vice 

 versd ? I see marked differences, and do not see the probability suggested. 

 The rhizome is distinctly creeping, though perhaps slowly, and branching ; 

 I have not seen L. pinnatifidum with that habit. 



[ ANGIOPTERIS evecta, Hoffm. In the Saharanpur Herbarium are 

 two specimens of this, contributed by Dr. King, one of which is 

 ticketed " Hindu Koh," and the other, from the Dalzel Herbarium, 

 <: Lahore " ; but I think it best not to give this as a N.-W. Indian 

 species. In the ' Synopsis ' is noted, under Angiopteris, Ptilodochea 

 salici/olia, Presl., as " an entirely obscure plant, supposed to have been 

 gathered in Lahore, said to be like Angiopteris, but without an 

 involucre'." I do not understand Beddome's entiy — " Through- 

 out the Indian region up to 7000' elevation." Clarke only 

 says — " Round Beugal, alt. 0-7000', from Nepal to Bhotan and 

 Chittagong."]
