densely crowded cxspitose 4-5 inches long firm rigid-mcm- 

 branaceous narrow- or linear-lanceolate acuminate pinnate, 

 pinnae remote patent terminated by 1-3 long setae, sterile 

 ones very narrow linear, /er/i/e spathulatc acute concave the 

 superior margin reflexed, veins solitary simple in each pinna 

 not reaching to the apex soriferous below its extremity oc- 

 cupying the dilated portion of the pinna, rachis very hispid 

 having a narrow wing on each side connecting the pinnae (or 

 the whole frond may be considered dcejily pinnatifid). —

 t. 5. 



Hab. Kii\a-balu, Borneo, //. Lo\ti. — An extremely interesting jilarit, evidently 

 of the same gronp with P. cucullatum, but remarkably distinct. 



36. P. (Eupolypodium) suhinnnatifidum, Bl. En. ; caudex 

 very small indistinct, stipites tufted 1-3 lines long ferrugineo- 

 pilose with patent hairs, fronds 4-6 inches long 2 lines broad 

 membranaceous linear obtuse attenuated at the base 

 sinuato-pinnatifid with rounded segments lowest ones abbre- 

 viated subtriangular and much decurrent, veins one to each 

 segment forked, the superior branch bearing a solitary 

 rounded sorus at the base of the lobe, young sori oblong and 

 apparently sunk in a cavity. — Meiten. Polypod. p. 39.

Hab. Java, Blume. Sandwich Islands, on trees, Brackenridge. — A well marked 

 species, with no small resemblance to some large Jungermannia. Not only do 

 Brackenridge's and Blame's figures well correspond, but authentic specimens 

 from both authors in my herbarium clearly show the specific identity of the two. 

 This circumstance is scarcely to be regretted, considering the very inharmonious 

 specific name given in compliment to a Hawaiian Chief. 



37. P. (Eupolypodium) Oryanense, Metten. ; caudex small 

 erect, stipites short a few lines long csespitose, fronds 6-8 

 inches long 3-4 lines Inroad firm subcoriaceo-membranaccous 

 linear-lanceolate glabrous coarsely serrato-pinnatifid acumi- 

 nate much attenuated and decurrent at the base by the very 

 abl)reviated segments or teeth, veins forked one to each lobe 

 or tooth, sori copious oval-oblong one to each lobe situated 

 on the superior branch of the fork large close to and obliquely 

 parallel with the costa ai)proximate, capsules mixed with co- 

 pious hairs arising from the receptacle. — Metten. Polypod. p.
