Genus 41*. TRIPHLEBIA, Baker. 



Differs from Scolopendrium and agrees with Diplora in having 

 a prominent receptacle running down the centre of the sorus. 

 Here it arises from a sort of adventitious vein, not always 

 produced beyond the sorus, but in Diplora the receptacle runs 

 along the proper vein, and the two valves of the indusium do 

 not spring from veins. 



Four species are known, as follows : 



1. T. pinnata. Baker, in Malesia, III, 41 : Hook. Ic. t. 1652 = 



Scolopendrium pinna/urn, J. Sm. Philippines, Cuming, 137, 311. 



2. T. longifolia, Baker, 1. c.= Scolopendrium longi/olium, Presl. 



Rel. Haenk. I, 48, t. 9, fig. i. Philippines, Haenke. Sarawak, 

 Borneo, Dr. Hose. 



3. T. Linza, Baker, in Malesia, III, 42, t. ^Asplenium Lima 



Cesati, Fil. Bee. Polyn. 4. New Guinea, Beccari. 



4. T. dimorphophylla, Baker, in Malesia, III, 42, t. ^Asplenium 



subserratum, Cesati, non Blume. Island of Andai, North of 

 New Guinea, Beccari. 



Asplenium scolopendropsis, F. M. Notes, Papuan plants III, 

 49, gathered in New Guinea by D'Albertis, probably also 

 belongs to Triphlebia and may be identical with T. Linza,
