195. P. (Phegopteris) asperulum, J. Sm. ; caudex ?, stipes 

 (a small portion of it) terete l)rown glanduloso-pubescent as 

 is the whole frond esj^eeiaily beneatli and on the slightlj' (but 

 distinctly) winged rachises, frond Ih foot and probably more 

 long 12-14 inches wide in the broadest part sul:)coriaceo- 

 menibranaceous brown-green subdeltoid-ovate acuminate bi- 

 subtripinnate, primary pinnae petiolate C-8-9 inches long 

 f-2 inches wide patent petiolate distant oblong-acuminate, 

 secondary pinnce rather wide apart petiolate subfalcate ol)lique 

 lanceolate (superior half the broadest) obtuse, tliose of the 

 lowest primary pinuce again pinnate at their base only, superior 

 basal pinnule always the largest forming an auricle, the rest 

 more or less deeply pinnatitid, pinnules and ultimate seg- 

 ments oval-oblong obtuse crenato-serrate most so on the 

 superior margin, veins twice or thrice forked, sori 4-6 on 

 a pinnule or segment, each corresponding to a serrature. — 

 /. Sm. in Hook. Journ. Bot. iii. p. 394 {name only, and a 

 scarcely applicable o?ie). 



Hab. Luzon, Cuming, n. 63. — A very distinct species; allied, however, to P. 

 Hasseltii, BL, in habit, and pubescence, and ramification; but very different in 

 the shape of the pinnules, and having the secondary pinnae pinnatifid, rather than 

 again pinnate. 



196. P. (Phegopteris) Hasseltii, Bl. ; " caudex oblique, 

 stipes 9 inches long sparingly paleaceous, fronds coriaceous 

 opaque-green glabrous 1 foot long triangular-ovate acuminate 

 subquadripinnate, lowest (primary) segments subopposite 6 

 inches long petiolate unequally triangulari-ovate, secondary 

 ones H inch long petiolate ovate, basal ones of the inferior 

 side larger 3 inches long, tertiary inferior ones ovato-oblong 

 obtuse deeply pinnatipartite at the base, superior ones con- 

 fluent by a very narrow wing from a cuneate inferior base, 

 and uppermost one obliquely truncate trapezo-ovate obtuse 

 the superior base pinnatifid the apex crenate or entire, basal 

 segments obovato-oblong obtuse having pinnated veins, su- 

 perior ones ovate confluent with forked veins which are sori- 

 ferous at the superior base, sori intramarginal." Metten. — BL
