ASPLENIUM, 'Ji EUDIPLAZIUM. 235 



A.{X\hntod\!i)nilidulum, Kze. Bot. Zeit. vi. p. 191. Java. — " As/jI. as-pidioidi, 

 Schlccht.,affinis." 



A. (AUantodia.') scaAraw, Kze. Bot. Zeit. vi. p. 192. Java.— "Affinis est 

 nostra paiillo Allant. scandicince, Klfs. (vix dubie eadem cum Aspl. Poiretiano, 

 Gaudich. in Freyc. Voy. Bot. t. 13), scd scabritie et forma pinnularum diversa." 



A. (Allantodia) deJJcdum, Kze. in 15ot. Zeit. vi. p. 191. Java. — Tliis seems to 

 be only known from the Amsterdam Botanic Garden in a young state and in 

 cultivation, and is described as tbe smallest and amongst tiie least compound of 

 all the Allantodite. It is unnoticed by Mettenins. Moore refers it to Aaplcnium, 

 but is it not the A. dejiexum of Mctlenius {Diplashan, J. Sm.), which is Aspl. 

 tomentosum of this work ? Other dubious species of the Athyrium-<^vo\i\} of 

 Asplenium I prefer to bring into a foot-note.* 



D. DiPLAZiUM. — Involucres double, but generally accompanied by sim/le or 

 asplenioid ones; and these frequently predominate. Gen. Diplazium, 5jf. 



(Eudiplazium-(7rowjw. — Veins free, rarely anastomosing. — Hook. Gen. Fil. 

 Tab. LV. B. and LVI. B.) 



* Fronds undivided. 



244. A. (Eudipluzium) lanceum, Th. ; caudex long-repent 

 rooting sparingly scaly, stipites distant 4 inches to a span 

 long slender thickened at the base and paleaceous with black 

 scales, fronds chartaceous firm opaque longer than the stipes 

 rarely an inch wide lanceolate attenuated and acuminated at 

 each extremity entire sometimes a little repand, costa slender 

 l^rominent beneath, veins horizontal fascicled the superior 

 and sometimes the inferior branch only fertile, sori linear 

 distant remote from the costa often diplazioid. — Tlmnb. Fl.

* Dubious species of Asplenium, supposed to belong to the Athyrium-sect'ion : — 

 Aspl. macrocldcEna, Metten. Asplcn. p. 195. Cyniopteris fragilis. Mart, et 



Galeot. MS. Mexirt). Fragments only known to Mettenius. Aspl. grncile, 



Don, I'rodr. Nep. p. 8. Nepal. Probably Aspl. tenuifrons, Wall. ; Metten. Asplen. 



p. 199, which I have considered a form of A. Filis-faemina. Aspl. alpestre, 



Iloppe; ^letten. Asplcn. p. 199, Eurojje, is Polypodium (Phegopteris) alpestris, 



Spr. Athyririm aspidioides, Pr. Darea, JJ'illd. India? Perhaps a small 



state of Axpl. Filiv-foemlna, Asplerdum, Metten. Asplen. p. 199. Athyrium 



incisum, Fc'e, Gen. p. 187; Metten. Asplen. p. 199. Central France. Probably 



A.ipl. Filix'-fcemina. Athyrium Corsicum, Fee, Gen. p. 187; Metten. Aspl. 



p. 199. Corsica. An Aspl. Filix-ftemina ? Athyrium Schimperi, Moug. ; 



Fee, Gen. Fil. p. 187; Metten. Asplen. p. 200. Abyssinia. Asplenium dista7is,
