Hab. Java, Blume, Thos. Lohh, n. 223 ; M'dlett. Luzon, n. 188, and S. Cama- 

 rines, Cuming, etc. (more membranaceous, very lirown when dry, sori frequently 

 diplazioid, involucres membranaceous while young). — Moulniein, C. S. P. Parish. 

 — This is certainly a diplazioid AspJeniuni, and on some specimens the douljle 

 sori exceed the single ones in number, while in others scarcely a double sorus is 

 to be seen. 



252. A. (Eudiplazium) jiroViferum, Brack. ; " caespitose, 

 stipites semiterete sulcate pubescent, fronds membranaceous 

 glabrous elongato-lanceolate pinnate, pinna3 alternate hori- 

 zontal oblongo-lanceolate obtusely serrated auriculato-trun- 

 cate at the base, inferior ones petiolate, uppermost ones con- 

 fluent, rachis proliferous and as well as the costa pubescent^ 

 involucres membranaceous narrow." — Metten. Asplen. p. 149.

Hab. Tahiti, Society Islands, Brackenridge, who gives neither figure nor any 

 remarks on the affinities. 



253. A. (Eudiplazium) crenato-serratum, Bl. ; "fronds 

 pinnate coriaceous glabrous, pinnoe alternate shortly petiolate 

 (terminal ones sessile) elongato-linear-lanceolate very acumi- 

 nate unequally rotundate at the base duplicato-crenato-serru- 

 late parallelo-furcato-venose, sori oblique, stipes and rachis 

 glabrous." Bl. En. Fil. Jav. p. 177- — Metten. Asplen. p. 177- 

 Asplenium pallidum, Moore, Lad. Fil. p. 121 {but he does not 

 include it under A. pallidum at p. 151). A. glaberrimum, 

 Metten. Fil. Hort. Lips. p. 75. ^.11./. 1, 2, according to 

 Metten. Asplen. p. 177 [this Moore refers, Ind. Fil. p. 135, to 

 Diplazium glaberrimum). 



Hab. Java, Blumc. — Blume's plant is too imperfectly described : he adds, in- 

 deed, " Ab Aspl. pallido vix differt nisi pinnis elongatis crenato-serrulatis, sorisque 

 longioribus marginem frondis attingentibus." Mettenius, however (/. c), refers 

 his Aspl. glaberrimum to that species, and of this ho has given a figure in liis 

 Hort. Fil. Lips., showing it to be a diplazioid plant with auricled pinnae : and, if 

 this is the normal form, it is a species with which I am unacquainted, 



254. A. (Eudiplazium) alternifolium, Bl. ; caudex thick 

 erect short, stipites stout paleaceous with subulate scales a 

 foot and more long, fronds ovate pinnate about a foot long 

 coriaceous and dark green when dry, subcarnose when re- 

 cent, dark glossy green above paler beneath, pinnae 3-5 inches 

 long all free on very short petioles broad-ovate or ovate
