168 POLYPODIU] 



var. ?, with glabrous and pubescenti-hirsute stipites. — I have very little doubt, 

 though I have seen no authentic specimens, that Mr. Beddome's plant is the 

 same as that of Schmid, and possibly the same as P. piloshisculum of Java. 



10. p. (Eupolypodium) adspersum, Bl. En. ; "fronds sub- 

 sessile linear obtuse attenuated at the base subrepand coria- 

 ceous glabrous nearly veinless (the figure represents the veins 

 very strong) sparingly nigro-punctate, sori subrotund paral- 

 lel with the costa, caudex creeping squamose." Bl. — Metten.

Hab. Java, Blume. — The author's figure represents an ascending caudex, with 

 rather distant, lanceolate, obtuse fronds, 3-5 inches long, tapering at the base, 

 with very conspicuous forked veins (at least as seen on the upper side), clavate at 

 the apex of the branches. I am not acquainted with the species. 



11. P. (Eupolypodium) pilosiusculum, Hook.; "fronds 

 stipitate linear rather obtuse or obtusely acuminate subrepand 

 coriaceous veinless moderately hairy on both sides and on 

 the stipes, sori elliptical scattered." — Grammitis, Bl. En. Fit.

Hab. On trees, Java, S^M/we. " 3-4 inches high. Caudex creeping (.'). Stipes 

 ^-1 inch long. Fronds 2\ inches long, 3 lines wide, linear or narrow-lanceolate, 

 obtuse at the apex, r.ttenuated at the base, coriaceous." — The figure is a very 

 good representation of our P. parasiticum from the Nilghiris. But that and 

 the description are too imperfect to enable me to attempt confidently to refer it to 

 any species known to me. 



12. P. (Eupolypodium) sessiUfolmm,Y{o6k. ; caudex small 

 erect or ascending scaly, stipites scarcely any, fronds tufted 

 membranaceous firm 3-8-9 inches long 2-3 lines wide 

 linear scarcely acuminated obtuse attenuated at the base, 

 veins oblique approximate simple, sori oblong parallel with 

 the costa in lines or series intermediate between the costa 

 and the margin. (Tab. CCLXXII. A.) 



Hab. Luzon, Cuming, n. 382 (one specimen with a very indistinct stipes). 

 Penang, Sir W. Norris. Java, Blume, mixed with his Pol. hirtellum. — Tlie 

 smaller fronds of this a good deal resemble those of P. grmnineum, but they 

 altogether want the decided, even long, stipes of that species. 



13. P. (Eupolypodium) Pwppigianurn, Metten. ; " rhizome 

 ascending Cfespitose clothed with lanceolate acuminate scales, 

 fronds 1-1-^ line long 2^ lines wide coriaceous glabrous spathu- 

 lato-lanceolate obtuse, veins immersed, sori at the hase of 

 the superior branch of the veins shortly oblong subparallel 

 with the costa at length covering the entire costa." Metten.
