420 ENUMERATIO EILTCUM PHIEIITIN AHUM. 



279. G. Hermanni, R. Br.— Luzon; («. 270.) 



280. G. mucronata, Reinw Mindora; (n. 374.) 



281. G. bifurcata, Blume.— Malacca; (w, 377.) 



282. G. Hffida, J. Sm.— Luzon; {n. 136.) 



283. G. excelsa, J. Sm — Luzon; {n. 256.) 



Obs. This agrees with specimens from the Sandwich islands, 

 and which I once considered to be the Gleichenia gigantea of 

 Wallich, but which now appears to be specifically distinct 

 from the present specimens as well as from the Sandwich 

 islands' specimens.

284. O. Presliana, J. Sm. — Nephrodium banksiaefolium, 

 Fresl Reliq. Hcenk, — Asplenium aureum, i5Z«me.; Reinw. — 

 Plenasium banksijEfolium, Presl, Pteridographia. — Nephro- 

 dium ? bromeiiajfolium, Presl Reliq. HoEuk. — Plenasium ? 

 bromeliaefolium, ^res/, /j^encfo^. — Luzon; (n. 165.) 



Obs. It was with much doubt that I admitted the genus 

 Pkjiasiiim of Presl into my original paper on the Genera of 

 Ferns, having seen only barren specimens of Nephrodium ? 

 bmiksicEfolium and bromeliicfoliiim of Presl, and also a barren 

 specimen from Reinwardt of the Asplenium mireum of Blume; 

 which last, as also Asplenium Grammitis of Wallich, is quoted 

 by Presl as synonyms to one of his species of Plenasium. I 

 have not been able to find " Asplenium Grammitis" in Wal- 

 lich's herbarium at the Linnean Society : I am therefore at 

 a loss to k^o^v what has led Presl to characterize this fern as a 

 genus belonging to Aspleniecs; for it is evident that his two 

 species are one, and the same as the barren portion of the 

 frond of this Osmunda ! which, as a species, is closely allied 

 to Osmunda javanica of Blume, and Osmunda Vachellii of 

 Hook. Ic. PI. t. 15.
