SriCILIGIUM FILICUM PHILIPPI^ENSIUM. 183 



yellowish rliachis wliich is very rough with small spines, small whitisli costular 

 scales, aiifl tlie })asal segiiients free, reniote and narrowed below, but it is readily 

 distinguishable from the type by its sliorter narrower segments which are more 

 falcate and more strongly serrate. The pinnules do not exceed 8 cm. in length. 

 In general appearance quite different from the type, but having the same essential 

 characters. It appears to be an alpine form of the species.

94. Alsophila latebrosa (Wall.) Hook. 8p. Fil. 1: 37. 



The ordinary forni of this species so common in India, the Malayan Peninsula, 

 Java, Borneo, Celebes and Amboina (herb. Christ), is not known to me from the 

 Pliilippines, where the species is represented by a form notably larger. It is 

 the same as with Alsophihi contaniinans, which is represented in tlie Philippines 

 by the large varietj' Celehica.
