Fissidens amblyotis Dixon sp. nov. (PLATE 3, FIG. 6) 
§ Amblyothallia. Stirps subrobustus; caules 2 cm. vel ultra 
alti, rufi, crassiusculi, séricti; folia laxiuscula, madida patentia 
pulchre plumosa, sicca rigide Jecurvo-falcata, 1-1.5 mm. longa, 
lingulato-lanceolata, breviter acuminata, subacuta, integra vel 
apice subintegra; costa fuscescens, inferne valida, superne 
sensim angustata, saepe sinuosula, infra apicem desinens. Lam- 
ina vaginans vix dimidiam partem folii aequans, apice in media 
lamina rotundate vel obtuse terminata; lamina dorsalis ad basin 
sat abrupte desinens. Cellulae 9-13 yu latae, incrassatae, irregu- 
lariter ovoideae, laeves, pellucidae. 
Fructus terminalis; seta perbrevis, circa 2 mm., theca parva, 
erecta. : 
HAB. On wet rock by stream, circa 700 ft. alt., Gunong 
Lambak, Johore, 1922; Holttum (9456). 
The nearest species to this would appear to be F. irroratus 
Card. from Formosa, but from the description the cells in that 
species are smaller and of a different nature; while the obtuse 
termination of the vaginant lamina here, forming a sort of round- 
ed auricle (whence the specific name) is a very distinct and un- 
usual feature. It appears best placed in the Amblyothallia. 
CALYMPERACEAE 
Syrrhopodon Ridleyi Broth. in sched. (PLATE 3, Fic. 7) 
§ Leucophanella. Inter S. bornensem et S. rufescentem ludens. 
Ab illo foliis siccis apice plus minusve flexuosis, nec arcte imbri- 
catis, angustius acuminatis; ab hoc foliis siccis madidisque haud 
reflexis, cellulis chlorophyllosis multo paucioribus, pellucidioribus, 
leniter tantum papillosis, limbo latiore; ab utroque colore fusces- 
cente vel sordide viridi, infra nec pallido nec rufescente. 
H On Platycerium, Bukit Timah, Singapore, 1908; 
Ridley (731). On large Platycerium, 2400 ft. alt., Government 
Hill, Pulau Penang, 1915; Burkill (763). Both fruiting. 
Near to S. bornense, which also occurs on the peninsula, but 
quite distinct in the narrowly acuminate leaves and _ their 
arrangement. In S. bornense they are in the dry state erect and 
closely appressed, the leaf-point quite straight and unaltered 
by drying; so that the stems are more or less terete; in the present 
plant the upper part of the leaf or the apex only is distinctly
