Mindanao Isl. , near Mt. Apo, on mossy trees, 1650 m. 

 s. m. (CoPKLAND no. 1016). 



The larger fronds 25x2,5 cm, stipes 1 — 2,5 cm. This 

 fern is very near Blume's P. subfaJcatiim and P. Diinuinm: 

 except for this affinity, and the a])parent propriety of keeping 

 all three species with the other jiinnate Eupolypodiums of 

 similar habit, the clothing of the rhizome with the irregularly 

 broken bases of old stipes would remove it from the genus.
