  the 
  Sierra

  1,300

  forest 
  (11133). 
  

   Cobre

  (Leon,

  When 
  described 
  this 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  subgenus 
  Stigmatopteris 
  was 
  known 
  

   only 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  collection 
  {Wright 
  1053), 
  from 
  some 
  part 
  of 
  eastern 
  

   Cuba. 
  No.

  is 
  viviparous 
  in 
  the 
  axils 
  of 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  pinnae, 
  bearing 
  

   young 
  plants 
  with 
  leaves 
  1 
  to 
  2.5 
  cm. 
  long.

  New 
  to 
  Cuba; 
  originally 
  described 
  from 
  Hispaniola. 
  The 
  history 
  and 
  

   relationship 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  will 
  be 
  discussed

  in

  HYMENOPHYLIvACEAE 
  

  

  Hymenophyllum 
  lineare 
  Swartz. 
  

  

  Pico 
  Turquino 
  ; 
  on 
  tree 
  trunk 
  (11116). 
  

  

  The 
  only 
  undoubted 
  Cuban 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  seen 
  by 
  the 
  writer, 
  

   though 
  it 
  has 
  previously 
  been 
  ascribed 
  to 
  the 
  island. 
  Described 
  originally 
  

   from 
  Jamaica, 
  where 
  it 
  grows 
  commonly 
  in 
  large 
  mats 
  on 
  tree 
  trunks 
  of 
  the 
  

   upper 
  forested 
  slopes 
  of 
  the 
  Blue 
  Mountains, 
  at 
  1,600 
  to 
  2,225 
  meters 
  al- 
  

   titude. 
  On 
  the 
  continent 
  H. 
  lineare 
  is 
  reported 
  from 
  Mexico 
  to 
  Brazil 
  and 
  

   Peru, 
  but 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  very 
  loosely 
  used 
  for 
  several 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  group, 
  

   which 
  needs 
  critical 
  revision. 
  The 
  Cuban 
  and 
  Jamaican 
  plants 
  are 
  identical.
