in my Index il was identified with D. alsophilacea because Mettenius referred 

 Presl's species to A. alsophilaceum. — I have examined a series of specimens and 

 enumerate here the more important collector-numbers.

3. forma caripensis (Willd.).

Aspidium caripense f. bracbyloba A. Br. Ind. sem. ht. Berol. app. 1857: 2! 



Nearly identical with f. tenuifolici, but generally with smaller pinnæ (15 cm x 

 2' i cm) and fewer veins (10—12), which are not so close as in the Brazilian 

 forms. The scales of the costæ beneath are never hair-like but rather uniform 

 (fig. 3^'*'^). Underside often glandulose.

Aspidium microchlaena Fée, 8 méni. 102. 1857; Dryopteris microchlaena C. Chr. 

 Ind. 278. 1905 from Mexico, Orizaba, Schaffner nr. 459 can, I think, with certainty 

 be referred to this form of Ü. submarginalis. Fournier (Mex. pi. 1: 93) united it 

 with Aspidium microcarpon Fée, 8 mém. 1U5, based on Schaffner nr. 214 from 

 Cordoba, Mexico. Nephrodium crinitum a Sod. is most probably the true cnripensis. 



4. forma glaucescens (Sodiro). 



Syn. Nephrodium crinitum ß ylaucescens Sod. Cr. vase. quit. 251. 1893. 



Under-surface more or less glaucous and often glandular. Sori often found 



furnished with a somewhat glandulose and ciliate indusium ; segments acute and 



faintly toothed. Otherwise like f. caripensis. 



Ecuador: Qualca, Sodiro (C). 

 Colombia: La Vega, Lindig nr. 337 (B). 

 Venezuela: Lansberg (B). 

 Costa Rica: Wercklé nr. 16756 (C).
