268 FILICES NONNULLZ CHINE INDIGEN X. 
? Asplenium viride, Huds. The only known station for this was a 
plant on Danny House, where it was most probably introduced acci- 
dentally or otherwise. 
A. marinum, L. This formerly grew at Hastings, but now belongs 
to our list of lost species. . 
ADNOTATIONES DE FILICIBUS NONNULLIS CHINA 
NDIGENIS. 
AvucTORE M. Kuan. 
Cl. Hance, in pag. 176 hujus libri, describit novam Woodwardie 
speciem in imperio Sinensi collectam, qua: ex diagnosi ab auctore data 
congruere mihi videtur cum Woodwardia auriculata, Blume, Enum. 
Plant. Javæ, p. 196, qui in observatione de specie hec dixit: “A 
W. orientali, Sw., et W. radicanti, Sm. (non Sw.), differre videtur 
pinnarum lacinia infima abbreviata et quasi auriculiformi, rhachique 
presertim ad insertionem pinnarum paleacea.” Sed ex brevi Blumei 
diagnosi et ex hac observatione dubitavissem, num planta Sinensis 
cum Javanensi congrueret, nisi in derelictis defuncti Mettenii manu- 
scriptis, qui specimen Blumeanum vidit, ampliorem diagnosin inve- 
hissem, qué ex mea sententia exacte cum M. angustiloba, Hance, con- 
gruit. Cl. Mettenius his verbis 77. auriculatum, BL, circumscripsit : 
“ Folia coriacea, siccitate olivacea, supra glaberrima, infra cum rhachi 
paleis membranaceis ferrugineis pilisque paleaceis multifidis villosa ; 
lamina ultra 2' longa sublanceolato-oblonga, acuminata, pinnatisecta ; 
segmenta approximata, oblique patentia, sursum curvata vel stricta, ad 
8" longa, 12” lata, elongato-lanceolata, acuminata, pinnatipartita, apice 
niarum." 
Ex hac Metteniana diagnosi sine ulla dubitatione species con- 
gruentes esse puto. Cl. Hooker in opere ‘Species Filicum,' vol. iii.
