34. Dryopteris cuspidata (Blume) Meniscimn cuspidatum Blume Fil. Jav. 

 102. t. J,o. 



:Mindoro, Baco River (168 McGi-egor) April-May, 1905. 



This is tbe typical form of Blume's species, of wliicb I bave identical material 

 from Java, Tjipoes, leg. Raoihorski, and from Perak, leg. Hose, and difFers from 

 tbe plant of nortbern India (Meniscimn longifrons Wall.) in its flesby-papyraceous 

 texture, opaque, tbe areolse less numerous (8 to 12, rarely more) more or less 

 concealed under tbe membranous epidermis and not costellate and prominent. 

 Tbe proliferous sboots in tbe axils of the ujiper pinnae are also present in tlie 

 Pbilippine plant, as indicated by Blume in tbe Javan form. 



Christensen in bis Index Filicum unites this species, althougb with doubt, 

 with Dryopteris urophylla ; bowever tbe proliferation in Blume's species, and the 

 membranous epidermis covering and in part concealing the areolae sharply 

 distinguishes D. cuspidata from D. uropbylla. D. longifro-ns differs in having a 

 very smootli sliining surface, tbe areolae in strong relief, and in tbe form of its 

 pinnae whicb are elongated and witb tbeir margins nearly parallel. In regard 

 to tbe elongated sori, I bave from Java a specimen witb tbem nearly round. It 

 goes witbout saying tbat diagnoses alone are of little value in indicating tbe 

 diflferences in forms and the sligbt cbaracters tbat distinguisli tliese undivided 

 species of Dryopteris; cbaracters tbat strike the eye on examination of specimens 

 are often diflicult to express in words in tbis and parallel cases.
