216 RoBINson: PTERIDOPHYTA OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS 
longs here. Heller 2764, Knudsen 145, Baldwin 36, and Gaud- 
ichaud (B) conform to the e type, which has slender, spaced 
pinnules, while Heller 2117 and Heller 2764 have both open and the 
compact forms of leaf upon the same plant. Occasionally a sorus 
is diplazioid. 
Hillebrand describes A. erectum as having a smooth rachis, 
while A. Macraei has a winged rachis. 
The original description of A. lunulatum (Sw. Jour. Bot. Schrad. 
18007: 52. 1801) gives the pinnae as rhomboid, ovate, crenulate; 
the African specimens are simply pinnate, the pinnae being 
auricled.
