falling considerably short of midrib and edge. Invol. thin. Numerous 
gemmae on the upper face, mostly rising from the veins, each with 3 or 
4 frondlets which are very shortly stipitate, ovate-obtuse with cuneate 
base, and more or less deeply lobed. 
The typical form of A. ag gee Brack., = plant came from Kaala, Oahu. Mine 
and Mr. Baldwin’s are from E. Ww. Ma 
. dareoides. — Frond ovate- ne a 9—12’ long, on a stipes of 
is same length. Pinnae 6—9 on a side, ovate-lanceolate, long- and 
gradually acuminate, the terminal one ‘ecociaclinn in size nies next below 
it, all cut throughout (but leaving a narrow margin to the rhachis) into 
oblong and cuneate, not faleate, segments, which are either simple or 
deeply and unequally 2—4-cleft at the truncate apex; the first segment 
on the upper side shorter than that next following, the first lower about 
midway between the two first upper. Sori rather broad and short, single 
and marginal on the narrow segments, 2—4 on those with forking veins. 
Scales, color and texture as in «. — Very much like A. flecwosum, Schrad., 
or A. gemmiferum, var. 8, Hook. 
Oahu! Palolo and Wailupe. 
S 
= var. appendiculatum. — Like 6, but the first upper segment of the 
3 lowest pairs of pinnae much longer than the others and obovate to 
lanceolate in shape, with lateral incisures and pinnate veins from a leading 
nerve, thus suggesting a parent form with auriculate pinnae. — Analogous 
to A. appendiculatum, Labill., in its relation to A. flaccidum. 
Oahu! Wailupe. Placed under this species with some doubt; may belong to A. Kaul- 
fussii. 
11. A. Mannii, Hillebr. — Rhizome about 3“ thick, short, creeping, the 
ee 7 covered with a short dark-brown fur (single-celled tubes). 
ong, with a few short (2“) scales at the base, slender. Frond 
ee: -lanceolate, 8-12‘ K 2—6’', closely pinnate with 10—20 pairs, the 
a 
extent, often gemmiferous near the apex. Pinnae erecto-patent, 5—8” 
apart, petiolate sed lanceolate, 2—3‘ >< 3—6", mostly uneven-sided 
and abscisso-truncate at the base, with the upper angle obtuse or rounded 
& 
once (rarely twice) forking in the broader pinnae. Sori straight, in regular 
parallel rows, in forked veins only on the anterior branches, almost 
reaching midrib and edge. Invol. firm. — A. Kaulfussii. Mann, Enum. no. 569 
(M. & B. no. 571). 
_ Oahu! Waianae range and Kaala. — The upper half of me hee of ae B nse 
is cut away in some forms almost as seneh as the lower half, so 0 becom piped 
cuneate, In this state a pinna looks exactly like one of A. iiainas wih: from
