229. Dryopteris magdalenica Hieron. Hedwigia Mi: 325 tab. 3 fig 2. 1907. 



Type from Colombia, ad Rio Magdalena, leg. StObel nr. 371 (Bl). 



A small species, founded on a single leaf and perhaps not different from the 

 following, from which it recedes by such small differences as the distinctly cuneate 

 base of the lower pinnæ and the more oblique or subfalcate and not very obtuse 

 segments. The rachis is very slightly stellato-pubescent, and the young sporangia 

 are setose. The rachis is gemmiferous below the apex (not figured by Hieronymus). 

 The stipe is short, shorter than the lamina, and the basal pinnæ not much reflexed.

 Type from Venezuela: Caripe, Moritz nr. 205 (B!) 



A distinct species, excellently described by Jenman and Maxon (loc. cil.) It is 

 well-marked by its long stipe, which is considerably longer than the lamina, its 

 sessile mostly opposite pinnæ, the lower ones much reflexed, their base truncate 

 or, in the lower ones, more or less narrowed. Lamina practically glabrous, the 

 rachis upwards setose and slightly stellato-pubescent above, sometimes with a bud 

 in the upper part. Pinnæ scarcely incised to the middle into bluntly rounded or 

 even truncate, a little oblique lobes. Veins 8— -10 to each side the lower 2—3 much 

 upcurved and running out to the sinus. Sori medial with a setose indusium. Spo- 

 rangia with a single long hair on the pedicel.
