A LIST OF THE FERNS OF THE MALAY 

 PENINSULA. 



The species marked * have not been previously recorded from 

 the Peninsula. 



Gleichenia dicarpa, Br., var. vulcanica, Bl., on all the roadsides 

 and throughout the jungles of the Malay Peninsula and Indian 

 Archipelago. "^G. Jlagellaris, Spr., very common on roadsides 

 near Singapore. G. norrisii, Mett., Salama River, Perak, near 

 Malacca. G. dichotoma, Willd., very wide-spread and common, 

 extending to Australia. 



Cyathea brunonis, Wall, mountain ranges to 3,000 feet. 



"^Alsojohila obscura, Scort., not common, but T believe this 

 species was found in the interior beyond the Kinta River, Perak ; 

 A. glabra, Hook., Maxwell's Hill, Perak ; A. lafebrosa, Hook., 

 all through the Peninsula occasionally; A. latebrosa, var. with 

 very broad segments, Arang Para ? ; A. glauca, J. Sm., in the 

 gullies on the lower slopes of Gunong Bubu ; A. kingi, Clarke ; 

 A. Gommutata, Mett. ; *A. trichodesma, Scort., this specimen 

 was, I believe, found on the Upper Salama River, on the Keddah 

 side of the shore ; its nearest ally is A. andersoni, Scott, 

 Sikkim. 



Matonia pectinata, Br. This plant is stated by Wallace to be 

 found only on the summit of Mount Ophir, which he also believed 

 to be the highest mountain in the Malay Peninsula, this being 

 the general impression at the time of his visit (1861. See 

 Wallace, " Malay Peninsula," p. 31). Found also on the upper 

 slopes of Gunong Bubu when first explored, and then generally 

 at a height of about 4,000 feet throughout the Peninsula. It 

 occurs also in Java. 



*Dicksonia barometz, Link., in the deepest mountain gullies 

 hroughout Perak ; D. (Dennstoedtia) ampla^ Baker.
