(189) S. Eiigleri. lf.Vr<m., in Engl. & Prantl, Nat. Pn.Fam., I 4 , 704. 

 Differs from S. Willdenowii Bk. in having the stems and main stem 



opaque, the axillary leaves elongate, acute, distinctly 2-auriculate-plicate 

 at the base, the leaves of the lower plane acute, those of the upper plane 

 more acutely acuminate, the sporophylla longer, the macrospores verrucose, 

 the microspores densely verruculose on the basal side with the projections 

 capitate, tuberculiform or irregularly angular. - - A plant, gathered in 

 Sumatra by Teysmann, probably a form of this species, has the stems 

 and main stem densely punctulato-asperulous.
