 ceolate rather acute, secondary pinnules small adnate oblong 

 obtuse inciso-serrate up})ern)ost ones confluent, sori solitary,

 Athyrium, Moore. 



Hab. Temperate woods of Java, Blume. — I am ignorant of this Fern, wliich 

 Moore refers to Athyrium, probably in consequence of the- affinity, to which 

 Blume alludes, with his jhpidinm costalc, an undoubted Athyroid Asplenium. 

 Mettenius does not appear to have noticed it either under Aspidium or As- 

 plenium. 



223. A. (Athyrium) nigripes, Mett. ; " frond bipinnate 

 membranaceous nearly glabrous, pinnae petiolate oblongo- 

 lanceolate acute, pinnules subdecurrent cuneato-oblong ra- 

 ther obtuse, lowest ones subpetiolate deeply pinnatitid, su- 

 perior ones inciso-serrate confluent, sori near the costules, 

 rachis glabrous, stipes trigonous below black and paleaceous."
