3 var. dareoides. — Fronds oblong, 1—1!/2 ft., dark-green but thin 
in 8. Pinnae 12—16 on each side, patent, he uddenly decreasing i 
a small terminal one, either pinnatifid to half the width or cut deeply 
(but always leaving a disk sibs the rhachis) into oblong cuneate and 
obovate segments, the outer ones entire or 2—3-cleft, but the two, three 
or four first upper ones always obovate, with 5—11 notches in the upper 
half, the first segment inclined toward the main rhachis. Veins at angles 
of 40°, forked in the outer but pinnate with a leading nerve in the 
obovate segments. Sori single and marginal, 4—6‘ long in the outer 
segments, but more numerous, 5—9, in the obovate ones. — A. flaccidum,

side besides — terminal one, which is longer stipitate and larger than 
3—6/ long, with an obliquely cuneate base, */s—1'/s’ broad at the lower 
third, unequally serrulate or crenate. Veins at angles of 35—40°, close 
as before, once or twice forking, generally soriferous only along the anterior 
branch, therefore the sori equal and parallel and more remote from each 
other than in the preceding species, but variable in length, mostly falling 
short of rib and edge, but occasionally reaching both, asin A. Kaulfussii.

8 var. caudatum. — Pinnae 6 on each side, all on longer stalks than 
in «, long-acuminate, wavy-crenulate, rounded off at the base. Veins 
at angles of 40—45°, mostly once forked and therefore not much crowded. 
Texture rather firm. 
Probably this, or a form close to it, was Luerssen’s A. oligophyllum, 1. ¢., from Kauai. 
~ var. gemmiparum. — Frond membranous, with 6 or 7 pinnae on each 
side at intervals of 2‘, the terminal one on a stipes of 8, the upper 
half of the base in the lateral ones semi-truncate but well rounded off. 
Veins rather distant, only the anterior branch soriferous, he sori
