798 FERNS OF NORTH QUEENSLAND^ 



D. quercifolia(L.) J. Sm.; Folypodium L. 

 Var. SPARSiS0RA(Desv.) Dom,; Folypodium Linncei Bory. 

 On sandy coastal flats, Cairns; on boulder in Stoney Creek, 

 etc.; July- August, 1913. 



Var. sparsisora differs from the type in having smaller and 

 irregularly scattered sori. My experience accords with Domin's; 

 I did not find the typical B. quercifolia in North Queensland. 

 Elaphoglossum Schott. 



E. CONFOKME (Sw.) Schott. 



This species, I did not find. 



A c R o s T I c H u M L. 



A. AUREUM L. 



This species, I did not find. 



Platycerium Desv. 

 P. BiFURCATUM (Cav.) C. Chr.; PI. alcicorne Gaud. 

 Common in the North Queensland scrubs. Domin figures the 

 vars. normale, rhomboideum, lanciferum, and Hillii (Moore). 

 P. GRANDE (A. Cunn.) J. Sm. 

 North Queensland scrubs. 



As I did not bring back with me any specimens of the species 

 of Platycerium, I am unable to make any notes on this genus. 



GLEICHENIACE^. 



GlEI CH ENI A Sm. 

 Subgen. Eugleichenia. 



G. FLABELLATA R.Br. 



Cairns district (Hoc); July-August, 1913. 

 G. LINEARIS (Burm.) Clarke; G. dichotoma {Thhg.) Hook. 



In railway cutting, near Kuranda, and elsewhere; July- August, 

 1913. 



The specimens vary considerably. Some of them have the 

 rhachis and costse more or less covered, underneath, with ferru- 

 n-inous hairs (? the var.ferrugniea of A. van R., Malayan Ferns, 

 p. 59); others are nearly or quite naked, and have the segments 

 emarginate at the apex.
