J. A. Loizino's No. 5732 froin Sumutru {Dcli, Sibolangit) differs from 

 the type in haviiig the sori partly asplenioid, partly diplazioid, partly 

 subscolopendiioid, i. e. with the indusia partly introrse, partly extrorse, but 

 arranged irregularly, not placed in pairs. The sanie déviation in the sori 

 inay also be found in A. paradoxum Bl. (see Bull. Btz., 1918, XXVlll, 10), 

 which indicates tliat Beddome was probably righl when supposing that 

 both thèse species are perhaps only varieties of the same species. (Handb. 

 Ind. Ferns, 151 — 152)— See also my information under Phyllitis Grashoffii 

 Rst. (ihis Bull.).

 from Sumatra {Mts. Singgalang, Merapi, Talang taras Talang) agrée very 

 well with the Javanese spécimens of this species occurring in the Buitenzorg 

 Herbariuni. The rhizome is wide-creeping. densely clothed with spreading, 

 finely acuminate, entire, brovvn or blackish, subulate scales which are very 

 iridescent when young; pinnae with the upper side regularly or irregularly 

 serrate towards the base, i, e. the serratures are either narrow and simple 

 or broad and s-:'rrulate. — Young soriferous plants hardly distinguishable 

 from A. contiguum Klf.

This species seems to be very variable and the material occurring in 

 the Buitenzorg Herbarium as well as that 1 hâve seen in other collections, 

 referrible to this, is represented by many forms (related species?) passing 

 into each other so gradually that it is impossible to draw the précise line 

 of demarkation by diagnosis. They are only distinguishable by comparing 

 the spécimens themselves. 



We possess only spécimens from Java. They hâve the leaflets (pinnul- 

 iform segments) rather coarseiy incised, the sori very short, straight or 

 slightly curved (not hamiform at the apex), single or some of the lower 

 double.
