involucies obsolete, stipes and universal rachis sparingly se- 

 tose." Cheilanthes setigera, Biume, En. Fil. Jnv. p. 138. 



Hab. Lofty mountains of Java. — This and the three following species 

 of Cheilanthes of Blume I refer to Hi/polepis (three of them from indivi- 

 dual knowledge), because the author says of them in his Enura. Fil. Jav. p. 

 135, " lam liabitu quani forma sororura maxiuie cum Cheilanthe arhores- 

 cente, Sw., congruunt;" and he adds " melius forsitan foret, species, quarum 

 sori uuico laciniarum latcri insident, a ceteris, ut genus Cheilanthem inter 

 et Z/oncA/^if/em intermedium separare." — Of the present, //. setigera, be re- 

 marks that it differs from the following in the sharper pinnules, the seg- 

 ments narrower and toothed, the universal rachis furnished with long setae. 



6. H. alpina ; " Irond below tri- above bi-pinnatifid mem- 

 branaceous pubescent, pinnules subsessile lanceolate rather 

 obtuse deeply pinnatifid confluent above, sori solitary at 

 the interior margin of the crenulations, involucres dentiform, 

 stipes and rachis rough." Cheilanthes alpina, Bl. Eimm. Fil. 

 Jav. p. 138. — B. frond coriaceous, pinnules acute, segments 

 crenate the margins recurved, stipes and rachis tomentose.

Hab. Summit of Mount Gede in western Java; ^. on the lol'ty mountains 

 of Java, Blume. — "The place of this is after Cheilanthes re/pcns, Kaulf.'' 



7. H. resinifera ; "frond below tri- above bi-pinnatifid 

 subcoriaceous beneath resinoso-punctate, pinnules sessile 

 lanceolate acuminate deeply pinnatifid confluent above, the 

 segments oblong obtuse inciso-crenate subauriculate at the 

 base above, sori solitary at the interior margin of the crenu- 

 lations, involucres dentiform, rachis tomentose above, stipes 

 rough." Cheilanthes resinifera, Blume, Enum. Fil. Jav. p. 

 138. 



Hab. Thick woods interior of Java, Blume. " Near the latter species 

 (C. alpina), but distinct in the much acuminated pinnules, resinoso-farinose 

 beneath, hairy, the lower crenule or laciuula of the segments larger on the 

 upper side." 



8. H. polypodioidcs ; " frond (ample) triplicato-pinnate, 

 pinnules petiolate ovato-lanceolate acuminate bipinnatifid 

 confluent above, secondary ones oblongo-lanceolate deeply 

 pinnatifid, the segments obtuse subduplicato-serrate, sori dis- 

 tinct, involucres dentiform, stipes and rachis pubescent sca- 

 brous." Cheilanthes polypodioidcs, Bl. Enum. Fil. Jav. p. 

 139. 



Hab. Gede and other high mountains of Java, Blume. — " Cheilanthes 

 arhorescens, Sw., differs from this in the glabrous frond and the solitary sori 

 at the interior or superior margin of the segments : from C. resinifera it 

 is distinguished by the larger triplicato-pinnate frond, and by the larger, 

 acuminated primary pinnules." Bl.
