Now, after a more carefull examination, I am convinced that 

 Copeland was right when sepai'ating Davallodes from Davallia 

 (includ. Microlepia and Htimata), and Humata Kingii and viscidula 

 are so strikingly resembling D. hirsiitum in aspect, mode of growth, 

 rhizome scales, texture and liairy vestiture, tliat, in spite of the 

 shape of tlie indusium, it will be advisable to refer them both 

 to Davallodes.

Very distinct by its elongated, cordate- or triangular-oblong 

 indusium fastened by a single central-basal point to the vein only 

 and not to the vein and parenchyma. Main rachis not winged.

Var. lioorflei'iiiiî : Frondes minores, ca 15 — 25 cm. longae, 

 5 — 7 cm. latae, pinnis ascendentibus, ca 3 — 7 cm. longis, 4 — 5 

 mm. latis, acutis vel obtusis. 



Fronds sometimes very short-stalked, then the lower pinnae 

 reduced, broadly adnate to the rachis, and the lowest pinnae 

 reserabling the cup-leaves in aspect and texture, but mnch smaller. —

The name involuta should be omitted, convoluta being more 

 appropriate.
