LINDS.EA. 223 



occupied by the cosUi, and no portion of the costa is distant from the mar- 

 pin. It is ])robably the L. nitens of Blume, a name it scarcely merits ; and 

 being: tliiis doubtful, I prefer the more appropriate one of VVallieh, and it 

 seems to l)e the same species to which lleinwardt has given the same name 

 adopted by Presl, who, however, refers it to Lindsaa, though it jjropcrly 

 belongs to his Schicoloma.

 — y. Singapore, U'allich. Isle of Loo Choo, Decchey. — Appropriate as 

 Diyander's name is for the original species, it becomes still more so now 

 that other states of it are detected. Mr. Drj'ander's plant is the more 

 simple fonn, merely pinnated ; the plant figured as L. variabilis in the 

 Botany of Beechey's V^oyage above quoted, left hand figure, is an inter- 

 mediate state, and the L. Finlaysoniana of VVallieh is the most compound 

 of all. The pinnae ori)innules vary from orbicular (small and ecostate) to 

 lanceolate (lari;e in proportion) with a central costa, and the veining is as 

 variable as the pinnules, sonietinies forked and not uniting, sometimes 

 anastomosing. 



58. L. propinqua. Hook. ; sti))es tetragonous about as long 

 as the frond, frond bipinnate ovato-acuminate in circumscrip- 

 tion, pinna? 5 — 7 oblong-lanceolate terminal one elongated, 

 pinnae thin membranaceous reticulated oblong subtrapezoid, 

 the apex rounded the base obliquely cimeate tapering into a 

 short petiole, the lower margin formed by the costa, upper 

 margin crenato-lobate, sori interrupted. (Tab. LX\'I. B.)
