 Blume remarks that "its nearest affinity is with D. data, from which it dif- 

 fers in the frond beinjj!: more sprcadinj^, more rigid, in the secondary pin- 

 nules being much elongated towards the extremity, and in the segments of 

 tlie pinnules being narrower and simply serrulate." 



39. D. diraricata, Bl. (non Schlecht.) ; "frond ample tri- 

 plicato-pinnatc glabrous, pinna; and pinnules subalternatc 

 remote ovato-oblong very much acuminated, secondary ones 

 pinnatifid, segments siibfalcato-linear subinciso-scrrate, ser-

Hab. Mountain woods of Java, Blume. " From D. clala, to which it ap- 

 proaches very near, it diflfers in the large and very patent frond, in the nar- 

 rower and more distant segments, and in the sori being remote from the 

 margin of tlie incisures, not inserted upon the teeth." BL 



40. D. mucronata, Bl. ; "frond bipinnate and as well as 

 the trigonous stipes glabrous ferruginous, pinna3 alternate 

 ovato-oblong caudate, lower ones pinnatifid, pinnules pinna- 

 tifid mucronate, secondary ones linear rather acute unequally 

 serrulate, serratures incurved bearing sori in the middle, sori 

 subrotund." Bl. En. Fil. Jav. p. 235. 



Uab. Lofty mountains of Java, Blume. — Blume places this next to D. 

 elegans, and observes that D. caudata, Cav. seems to differ in the pinnules 

 or segments being crcnated.

Hab. Isle of Bohol, Philippine Islands, Cmw/h^.— Mr. J. Smith had 

 given a very appropriate name to this plant, but which is not tenable, 

 being previously taken up by Blume fur another species. The present is 

 very distinct: the pinnae arc below |)innaled, but the superior pinnules 

 or segments, though distant by the decurrent bases, which give a winged
