Shensi: Tai-pei-shan, Purpom no. to. This new species of the group 
of A. acrostichoides (Sw.) Diels stands between A. Giraldii Christ and A. 
mongolicum (Franch.) Diels. It resembles the former, which I have not seen, 
in its basal scales, the inflated bases of the stipes, and in the shape of the 
indusia, but it is much smaller and its segments are not triangular-falcate. 
From A. mongolicum, which it resembles closely in size, cutting, and general 
habit, it differs in its basal scales, the rachis not being winged upward, and 
especially in the totally different indusia.
