Heterophyllum, Pleiostelicae, h Cormosae.— Plants occurring 

 in the Buitenzorg Herbarium, gathered in Amboyna and New 

 Guinea and undoubtedly belonging to this species, hâve the 

 stems partly (occasionally) 3-stelical (often with a tendency to 

 become 4-stelical), partly 4 — 5-stehcal; they belong to forms 

 which are somewhat différent in aspect, but they agrée so much 

 in their essential characters that I am unable to separate them, 

 the complète authentic description of the species being unavail- 

 able to me. The shoots are probably springing from a more 

 or less divaricating-scandent, 4 — 6-stelical main stem, with 

 the partial stems smooth, articulated at the very base, the pinnae 

 conspicuously dark-coloured (black or brown) at the base, 2 — 3- 

 pinnate, with the ultimate branchlets varying from very short 

 to 6 cm long (the terminal ones not rarely caudato-elongate), 

 2 — 5 mm broad including the latéral leâves, the latéral leaves erecto- 

 patent, rounded and generally more or less conspicuously plicate 

 on the upper side at the base and then apparently auricled, more 

 or less abruptly truncate on the lower side at the base, entire, 

 and pellucid-margined on the upper side, the intermedial leaves 

 cuneate on the outer side at the base, entire and pellucid-margined, 

 as are the sporophylla.
