New Guinea.— The description is taken from a spécimen 

 cultivated in the Buitenzorg gardens. In habit this plant resem- 

 bles Mesochlsena polycarpa, Bedcl, but the fronds are smaller, 

 the pinnse less deeply incised, the veins more copiously anastomosing, 

 the texture firmer, the sori round, not elongate, the reduced pin- 

 nae less numerous, occupying the upper half of the stipes only.
