154 ASPLENIUM, § EUASPLENIUM. 



angustato-acute remotely and acutely dentate cuneato-acute 

 at the base, superior base with a wide tooth" (or auricle) 

 " truncated and unequally toothed at the apex, rachis cana- 

 liculate hirsute, veins crowded flabellate, sori oblique to the 

 costa." PresI, Epimel. Bot. j). 73. Metten. Asplen. p. 150.

Ilab. Luzon, Cuming, n. 128. Java, De J'rie.se, Miguel (under the name of ^. 

 sororium). — This is to nie a very doubtful species, founded upon Cuming's n. 128, 

 wliich Mr. J. Smith considers to be the Axpl. caudatum, Forst., but tlie pinnae are 

 not sufficiently deeply lobed for that, and to this I'resl has given the name of 

 anisodonlum. T am more inclined to consider it a var. of ^Isy;/. ./a/ca/uw. The 

 Java specimens are quite the same as mine from Luzon (C'mt?^'/;^), and the ^. 

 falcatum, ;8 intermedium, Brack., may also be looked upon as a connecting link 

 between this and true A . falcatum. 



122. A. (Euasplenium) nigrescens, Bl. ; "fronds pinnate 

 membranaceous glabrous, pinnse petiolate lanceolate long- 

 acuminate, superior base subauriculato-truncate, inferior base 

 abscisso-cuneate inciso-serrate striated, sori remote subcon- 

 tiguous to the costa, stipes and rachis subterete glabrous."

 Asplen. p. 151. Moore, in his Lid. Fil. refers here the Aspl. 

 heterodon, Moritz {not BL). 



Ilab. Moluccas, upon trees, Rlume. Java, Zollinger, n. 1994. — I have seen 

 no authentic specimens of this Jsplenium: the author of the species says of it, 

 " Simillitnum praecedenti (.^/s/7/. heterodon, Rl.), pinnis autem basi deorsum 

 abscisso-cuneatis situque sororum diversura." Kunze compares it with Aspl. Scrra. 



123. A. (Euasplenium) progrediens, Fee; "fronds pinnate 

 oval-lanceolate, stipes reddish slender or robust grooved 

 glabrous as well as the rachis, rhizome abundantly clothed 

 with narrow scales which are almost capillaceous netted and of 

 a vinous colour, pinnse pedicellate lanceolate unequally toothed 

 teeth coarse and obtuse incised at the base entire or oblique, 

 terminal one much larger than the others and more or 

 less lobed below, sporothecia narrow imbricated appearing 

 near the costa the summit sterile." Fee, 8me Mem. Foug.

Ilab. Mexico, at Huatusco and at Orizaba, n. 54 and 449, Schaffner. — No 

 notice is taken of the affinities of this species. 



124. A. (Euasplenium) Serra, Langsd. et Fisch. ; caudex 

 stout repent clothed with dark-brown falcate subulate scales 

 copiously rooting, stipites remote about a foot long lurid- 

 brown, fronds ample 2-4 feet long coriaceo-chartaceous 

 somewhat glossy olive-green or brown ovato-lanceolate pin-
