erect mode of growth ; the lowest segments form so many decurrent shallow 

 lohes or wingj upon the otherwise elongated stipes, giving a peculiar asiioct lo 

 the plant, and the pinna; are quite entire. 



73. P. (Eupolypodiuiii) subj'alcatum, \M. ; caudex small 

 obliquely erect criiiite rather than paleaceous, stipites short 

 3—8 lines long patenti-pilose, fronds firni-nieinbranaceous 

 hairy on both sides and on the costa fi-S inches lung 1-H inch 

 broad oblong-lanceolate subacuminate attenuated below 

 deeply almost to the rachis pinnatifid, segments horizontally 

 patent from a rather broad and decurrent base linear-lanceo- 

 late acute strongly serrated or pinnatitido-serrate, lower ones 

 remote distinct smaller than the rest, costule slender flexuose, 

 veins evident distant oblique soriferous at the apex, sori 

 small globose one to each scrrature equidistant between 

 the costule and the margin. — Bl. Fil. Jav. p. 186. /. 87. A. B.

 Mettenius should refer the well-marked specimens of this plant of Cuming, n. 

 205, to the P. niinutum of Blurae. 



74. P. (Eupolypodium) solidum, Metten. ; " caudex creep- 

 ing clothed with reddish lanceolate acuminated scales, stipes 

 8 lines to 1 inch long, fronds coriaceous firm very glabrous 

 above opaque green pale beneath 4-8 inches long linear at- 

 tenuated at each extremity acuminate pinnatifid nearly to 

 the rachis, segments 2-4 lines long }-lj line wide contiguous 

 adnate at the nearly equal base oblong obtuse serrato-dentate, 

 lowest ones abbreviated, veins immersed forked or several 

 times forked extending into the teeth attenuated at the apex 

 on the back of the anterior branch soriferous, trabecule 

 formed of elongated incrassated brown cells appear at the 

 apex of the ultimate veins in the teeth, sori oblong subim- 

 mersed 1-4 on each side the costule intermediate between 

 the costule and the margin." — Metten. Volypod. p. 5^. t. \.

Hah. Java, " Zollinger, n. 165." — Unknown to me. There is no striking pe- 

 culiarity in the form, etc., of the frond,except, indeed, the dark lines forming the 

 trahecula;, which are very remarkahlc. Kunze seems to have considered it a 

 Ctenopieris.
