Ilab. Merida, Columbia, Morilz, n. 2,12. Peru, Lechler, Philippi. — Klotzseh 

 and Mettenius iiave each given a brief character of this, but unfortunately no ol)- 

 servations on the affinity with other species. I therefore place it, as Mettenius 

 has done, next to P. gramineum. 



6. P. (Eupolypodium) Inrtellum, Bl. ; " fronds shortly sti- 

 pitate linear rather obtuse attenuate at the base subentire 

 membranaceous nearly veinless hairy on both sides, sori sub- 

 rotund at length confluent, caudex ceespitose paleaceous."

Hab. Java, Blunie. — My original specimens of this j)lant from Blume sufficiently 

 correspond with his figure, and tolerably so with his description. The fronds are 

 2-3 inches long, lanceolate or subspathulate rather than linear, tapering gradually 

 into a very short stipes, everywhere clothed with rather long ferruginous hairs ; 

 veins forked. The var. y. lasiosorum, of which I also possess specimens from the 

 author, I am disposed to consider a distinct species in consequence of its smaller 

 size and long stipes. 



7. P. (Eupolypodium) lasiosorum, Hook. ; caudex very 

 small indistinct radiculoso-csespitose, stipites tufted | aii inch 

 and rather more long slender filiform villous witli patent 

 ferruginous hairs, fronds subcoriaceo-membranaceous spathu- 

 lato-lanceolate obtuse quite entire much attenuated at the 

 base rather densely villous and ciliated with long patent soft 

 ferruginous hairs more or less deciduous in age, veins not 

 discernible, sori globose on all my specimens occupying the 

 upper half of the frond prominent crowded in two lines close 

 to the costa, copious hairs are intermixed with the capsules. —

Hab. Java, Blume. — Blutne's figure rc|)resents the plant nearly twice the size 

 of my specimens, to which it is quite likely to attain ; in all else the figure is very 

 characteristic ; but there is no analysis.
