106 VASCULAR CRYPTOGAMIA OF NEW GUINEA. 



D. pinnata Car., var. D. gracilis Blume. — Mount Musgrave. 

 (Malay peninsula, Malay and Polynesian isles). 



24.* Davallia (Leucostegia) cicutarioid.es Baker, n.sp. — Frond 

 decompound, probably deltoid, bright green on both surfaces, 

 moderately firm, with slender glabrous polished brown rachiscs. 

 \: Lower pinnae ovate-lanceolate, 6-8 in. long. Ultimate segments 

 linear, 1 -nerved, at most J^-^ in. long, the sterile ones acute, the 

 fertile obtuse. Sori minute, solitary in the dilated tip of the 

 segments. Indusium pale, suborbicular. — Mount Musgrave. Most 

 like the Vitian D. ferulacea Moore. 



Lindsaya lobata Poir. — Mount Musgrave. (India to Queensland 

 and Polynesia). 



24.* Lindsaya tricrenata Baker, n. sp, — Stipe and rachises 

 slender, naked, castaneous, the former 4-5 in. long. Frond 

 M glabrous, bipinnate, deltoid, moderately firm in texture, composed 

 of few long pinna?, attaining 6-8 in. in length, ^ in. in breadth. 

 Segments sessile, cuneate, ^ in. broad, crenate on the outer edge. 

 Veins about 8 to a segment, each one forked. Sori round or 

 oblong, placed at the tip of the lobes. Valves of the indusium 

 narrow, firm, glabrous. — Mount Musgrave. Allied to L. rigida and 

 bomeensis. 



Lomaria procera Spreng. — Mount Knutsford and near the 

 summit of Owen Stanley range. (Widely spread in both hemi- 

 spheres). 



Asplenium tenerum Forst. — Mount Knutsford. (Ceylon, Malaya, 

 Polynesia). 



A. Uiserpitii/oliun) Lain. — Mount Musgrave, Mount Knutsford, 

 and near the summit of the Owen Stanley range. (India and 

 China to Queensland and Polynesia). 



A. Lobbianum Hook. — Mount Musgrave. (Philippines, Java). 



A. latifolium Don.? — Mount Musgrave. Rachises black. Very 

 likely a distinct species, but material too imperfect. (India, N. 

 Australia, &c). 



Aspidium aculeatum Sw. — Mount Knutsford and near summit 

 of Owen Stanley range. (One of the most widely spread of the 

 characteristically temperate types). 



49.* Nephrodium (Lastrea) sinrulans Baker, n.sp. — Root- 

 stock not seen. Stipe short, scaleless. Frond oblong-lanceolate, 

 \ bipinnate, moderately firm, under a foot long, 3 in. broad at the 

 middle, narrowed gradually to the base ; main rachis densely 

 crinite. Pinnae lanceolate, -J- in. broad, the central ones 1-11 in. 

 long, cut down to the rachis into linear-oblong segments T L- in. 

 broad. Veins simple, erecto-patent, 5-6-jugate. Sori subcostal. 

 Indusium persistent. — Mount Knutsford. Simulates in habit the 

 common American V. contermimim. 



X. FilLv-mas Rich. — Musgrave range. (Cosmopolitan, temper- 

 ature). 



V. near sparmm and chinense. — Mount Musgrave. Too incom- 

 plete for positive determination. 



Nephrolepis acuta Presl. — Mount Musgrave. (Warmer regions 

 of both hemispheres).
