Pleopeltis parvifrons V. A. V. R., Bull. Btz., Il (lQ20j, 165. 



Spécimens recently gathered by BiiNNEMEljER prove that the plants 

 of the lUiitenzorg Herbarium, doubtîully referred by me to PL Wrayi Bedd., 

 are identical with this. The diagncsis should be corrected as follows: 

 Rhizome scales when young rufous or ferrugineous. Stipes l'/a — 7'/2 cm. 

 long, those of the fertile fronds often though not invariably the longer 

 ones. Barre;i fronds 2'/2 — ^Vz cm. long, the edge cartilagineous, very 

 broadly and shallowly crenulated, whether or not somewhat recurved or 

 reflexed. Texture varying from somewhat flaccid to rigid. Fertile fronds 

 3—15 cm. long. Sori close or somewhat remote. 



It may be possible that this species is identical with PL Wrayi BeDD. 

 of which I hâve not yet seen the authentic spécimen. The diagnosis given 

 by Beddome in Handb. Ind. Ferns, Supplem. Q3, however, is too incom- 

 plète to décide on the subject.
