but in the absence of any type specimen and with a widely differ- 

 ent type locality it is much safer to leave the matter in abeyance.

1 3. Stenochlaena Hiigelii (Presl) Fee in herb. Vindob. 



[Figure 9.] 



Lomariopsis Hiigelii Presl, Epim. Bot. 263. 185 1. (Type from 



New Zealand, Hugel.) 

 Lomariopsis sorbifolia var. resection [sic] Christ in Warburg, 

 Monsunia I: 56. 1900. (Type from Cairns, North Queens- 

 land, Warburg 19286.) 



This clearly marked species, which naturally has no near re- 

 semblance to S. sorbifolia of the American tropics, was well char- 

 acterized by its author in the corrections to the text of Epimcliae 

 Botanicae f and for this reason has eluded discovery for a long time. 

 A long manuscript description under a new name by F. Mueller 

 appears in the Kew herbarium with specimens from Rockingham 



* We were unable to find the type in Paris collected by Gaudichaud, but there is 

 a cotype in the herbarium at Berlin.
