Brotherus, V. F., The mosses of Amboina. (Philippine Journ. 

 Sc. C. Bot. XII. p. 73-80. 1917.) 



In this paper we find the results of the exaraination of the 

 mosses collected by the late Dr. Robinson in Amboina. In the 

 list are included those species secured in Amboina by earlier 

 collections. New species: Endotrichella alaris, near E. elegans (Doz. 

 et Molk.) Fleisch., but avidely different by the structure of the 

 leaves; E. Robinsonii, near E. compressa (Mitt.) Broth. Vesicularia 

 amboinensis. near V. scaturiginum (Brid.) Broth. Rhacopilum amboi- 

 nense, near R. spectabile Reinw. and Hornsch. but differs by its 

 smaller form and by the form, margination and nervation of the 

 leaves. Jongmans.

Trichomanes brooksii, appears to be near to T. Hosei Bak. ; 

 Hymenophyllum Foxworthyi, clearly distinguished by the opaque 

 margin and Trichomanes-like sorus; H. clemensiae, distinguished 

 by color and pubescence; H. Hosei, distinguished by the broad, 

 flat wing of the rachis, H. perßssum; H. Clemensiae; H. Toppingii, 

 distinguished by its broad and close Segments; H.purpureorhachis; 

 Humata kinabaluensis; Nephrolepis (?), marginalis; Cyathea capitata, 

 near C. Brunonis; C. pseudobrunonis; C. fuscopaleata, perhaps nearest 

 to C. articulata, from which it differs in the narrower pinnae and 

 closer venation and sori, as well as in the paleae; C. kinabaluensis, 

 nearly related to C. arthropoda, from which it differs in its darker 

 axes and relatively narrower pinnae with more nearly parallel 

 sides, as well as in the long paleae; C. Toppingii] C. elliplica; C. mollis; 

 C. kemberangana, probably a near relative of C. Ridleyi (Baker), 

 but with lighter axes and stalked pinnules; C. paleacea, very distinct 

 from any species hitherto known to the author, nearest perhaps to 

 C. dulitensis Baker; C. rigida, possibly a much more ample form of 



C. paleacea; C. longipes; C. megalosora\ Dryopteris inconspicua, 

 characterized by the dwarfed lowest pinnae and peculiar pubescence 

 of costae and veins; D. kinabaluensis; D. linearis; D. Toppingii; 



D. lithophylla; Mesochlaena Toppingii; Tectaria murudensis; Athyrium 

 clemensiae; A. atropurpureum; A. atrosquamosum, like A. meyenia- 

 num and A, Blumei; Polypodium kinabaluense; P. Brooksii; P. 

 calcipunctatum; P. multisorum; P. murudense; P. brachypodium ,
