Hal). Merida, " Moritz, n. 325." Venezuela, Fendkr, n. 349. Peru, Ma-

 reddish, lateral veinlets simple short turgid at the apex pellu-

Hah. " Cuba, Jameson." — I am unacquainted with this Fern. Kunze refers 

 it to P. subtile, while Mettenius considers it quite distinct. I fear there is some 

 error iu considering it a native of Cuba, or in Professor Jameson being the dis- 

 coverer or sender of it. I never knew him to send any plants from Cuba, or from 

 any country but Ecuador. 



63. p. (Eupulypodium) minutum, Bl. ; "fronds shortly 

 stipitate linear-lanceolate deeply pinnatifid and as well as the 

 stipes pubescent, segments ovate-oblong obtuse short repand 

 1-3-sorous, lower ones dentiform, sori confluent." Bl. Fil. 

 Jav. p. 188. t. 87- D {not Metten. Poh/pod. as far as regards 

 Cuming's n. 205 from Luzon, the only locality he gives, and 

 which is P. subfalcatum). 



Hab. Summit of Mount Cede, Java, on the trunks of trees, Blume. — " An 

 elegant Fern, Ij to nearly 4 inches long. Fronds erect, 1-3 inches long, 2-3 

 lines wide, membranaceous, villous." This, whatever it may be, is very different 

 from Mettenius's Luzon specimen {Cumini/), to which he refers it. Perhaps 

 too nearly allied to P.parvulum, Bl. 



64. P. (Eupolypodium) discolor, Hook. ; caudex very 

 small short and erect clothed with firm lanceolate subulate 

 scales, fronds tufted sessile 4-6 inches long \-% of an inch
