* G. luttata : habit of G. gigantea; primary rachis stout (nearly J in. diam.) 

 and as well as the secondary ones rounded behind, depressed in front, slightly 

 margined, and clothed beneath with close imbricated dark purplish brown 

 white-fringed scales, and on the upper side with fringed silvery scales 

 mixed with white cobwebby hairs, the surface asperous; pinnse (14-3 J ft. long 

 and 5-10 in. wide) nearly or quite bipinnate, ovate-lanceolate attenuate; 

 pinnules oblong attenuate, deeply pinnatifid or almost pinnate ; segments 

 linear-oblong shortish obtuse, crowded, their base elevated in a ridge-like 

 form along each side of the rachis, the margins strongly recurved, somewhat 

 glaucous beneath, with the forked veins very prominent, the upper surface 

 convex and bullate between the sunken venation : ultimate rachides and 

 costse asperous, densely clothed on the lower side with fringed tawny scales; 

 son 3-4, seated amongst fringed scales. This fine species occurs in "exposed 

 places on the ridges of Kina Baloo in Borneo, where it was found by Hugh 

 Low, Esq., to whom we are indebted for specimens. It differs from G. 

 gigantea, to which it is most nearly allied, in its vestiture, in its asperous 

 rachides and costce, andin the form of its segments.
