( 3o ) N. canescens (Bl.) Christ. Rhizome creeping; stipe of sterile 

 Iroiid aliiiiit .'> cm., of fertile about 20 cm. high, erect, villous above; rachis 

 likewise villous; .sterile frond 10 cm. more or less, high, ovate-lanceolate, 

 acute, tlie terminal segment sometimes almost the whole length, sometimes 

 much less than half, crenate; pinnte truncate at both ends, crenate or 

 slightly lobed toward tlie broad apex, ]iapyraceous, mostly glabrous; fertile 

 frond similar except that tlie pinnie are usually narrower and occupy a 

 relatively large part of the frond; sori near the main veins, or irregularly 

 scattered, indusium usually absent. I follow Christ in referring this plant 

 to Blume's Gymnogramme canescens, though our plants are largely glabrous. 

 It is variable here as in Celebes (cf. Christ. Ann. .fard. Buitenz. 15:1."?0).
