ovate obtuse, veins forked immersed one to each lobe, upper

Hab. Brazil, Sellow, Gardner (on mossy stems of large trees, Organ Moun- 

 tains). Pilzhum. Province of Cuenca, Ecuador, Jameson. — Allied to P. funicu- 

 lum, but habit and texture, etc., very different. 



140. P. (Eupolj^podium) Lobbianwn, Hook.; caudex short 

 creeping clothed with subulate ferruginous crisped scales, 

 stipites tufted short 1-2 lines long and as well as the rachis 

 black and sparingly and deciduously villous, fronds 3-6 

 inches long 1 inch broad membranaceous but opaque gla- 

 brous subfalcate exactly lanceolate moderately attenuated at 

 both extremities pinnated, pinnae numerous approximate 

 horizontally patent narrow-linear not half a line wide obtuse 

 regularly sinuato-pinnatifid with numerous short rounded 

 entire lobes, costule slender blackish, veins one to each lobe 

 indistinct and each bearing a small globose sorus sunk in 

 a cavity in the middle of the lobe, the cavity forming a 

 protuberance on the upper side of the frond. (Tab. 

 CCLXXVIII. B.) 



Hab. Sarawak, Borneo, Thos. Lobb, on trees, alt. 2500 feet. — One of the pret- 

 tiest and most delicate of the Eupoli/jjodium-group. 



141. P. (Eupolypodium) funiculum, Fee; caudex small 

 oblique clothed with ferruginous scales copiously sarmentose 

 increasing as it were by adventitious fibre-like runners 1^ 

 foot and more long often parallel with each other and en- 

 tangled, stipites 1-3 inches long glabrous aggregated, fronds 

 3—5 inches long 1 1-2 inches wide dark-green firm-mem- 

 branaceous broad- or ovato-lanceolate caudate rather than 

 acuminate glabrous scarcely attenuated at the base pinnate, 

 the pinnae linear |-1 inch long from a rather broad and 

 slightly decurrent base linear subacuminate quite straight 

 pinnatifido-serrate, lowest ones dwarfed, rachis slightly hairy 

 and costule black, veins one to each tooth bearing each a 

 small yellowish sorus of few capsules. — Fee, Gen. Fil. p. 241.

Hab. Cuba, Linden, n. 1885, C. Wright, w. 807.— A very peculiar species, and 

 very distinct. Fee'^s figure well represents all the characteristic features of the 

 plant.
