llab. "Clefts of rocks in mountains of Ilottc^ntots' Holland," Pwj/piff. — f liavc 

 seen nothing from South Africa I can refer to this, nor does there apiJtar to he 

 anything like it in Pappe and Rawson's En. Fil. Cap. 



14. P. (Eupolypodium) fascialum, Metten. ; caudex truly 

 repent thick as a crow's or even a goose's quill paleaceous 

 with subsphagneous scales sparingly rooting, stipilcs 1-1 \ inch 

 long more or less distant black or blackish sometimes deci- 

 duously hairy, fronds coriaceous everywhere glabrous or with 

 a few scattered hairs near the base and on the margin 12-10 

 inches long subflexuose quite entire rather obtusely acumi- 

 nated long and gradually tapering at the base upon the stipes, 

 costa prominent beneath above having a sunken line or fur- 

 row, veins sunk once forked the U])per branch bearing the 

 sorus at the base near the costa so that the close-placed oval 

 oblique sori form two lines or series close to the costa occu- 

 pying chiefly the upper part of the frond. — Metten. Pohjpod.

 feet, Thos. Lohh. n. 2/1. — Blume well observes of this, that the younger sori are 

 more narrow and oblong than the mature ones. 



15. P. (Eupolypodium) Reinwardtii, Metten.?; "fronds 

 stipitate spathulato-lanceolate obtuse repand submembrana- 

 ceous furcato-venose plane on both sides and on the stipes 

 pilose, sori oval approximate to the costa and subparallel 

 with it, caudex paleaceous." Bl. — Grammitis, Fil. Jav.p. 114.

Ilab. Java, Blume, Zollinger, n. 1270. — Mettenius refers J. Smith's Grammitis 

 hirta to this species, but our specimens of that plant do not accord with the 

 figure of this in Blume, which exhibits a shorter and broader frond, with simple 

 veins (parallelo-venulose). 



16. P. (Eupolypodium) Zcylanicum, Metten.; caudex 

 creeping as thick as a duck's quill rooting branched clothed 

 with sphagneous scales, stipites scattered but approximate 

 ^-1 inch long black patently hispid, fronds 6-10 inches long 

 ^ of an inch wide submembranaceo-coriaceous subpellucid 

 linear-lanceolate repando-dentate especially in the upper half 

 glabrous or subciliate and with the remains of hairs here and 

 there on the surface sharply acuminated, below gradually at- 

 tenuated into the stipes, costa rather slender slightly promi- 

 nent on both sides, veins rather distant moderately patent
