60 POLYPODIUM, § PHYMATODES, 



fronds are quite sessile, the costa as well as the veins are very indistinct, and the 

 sori are smaller, more copious, and quite marginal. 



329, P. (Phymatodes) tenuilore, Kze. in Metten.; caudex 

 long slender creeping or scandent partially scaly, stipites 

 scarcely any, fronds approximate membranaceous opaque 10 

 inches to 1^ foot long j to \ an inch wide linear-lanceolate 

 acuminate scarcely thickened at the margin, venation usually 

 manifest, costules none, the slender veiiis anastomose and 

 form about three very irregular series of oblong areoles often 

 including free veinlets the outer one constituting a marginal 

 vein, sori small and usually scattered without any order com- 

 pital or dorsal subglobose of few lax capsules or more or less 

 confluent and elongated sometimes forming a continued linear 

 sorus within the margin. — Metten. Polyp, p. 86. t. 1. f. 28

Hab. Luzon and Isle of Samar, Cuni'mg. n. 287 and 332. — I quite agree with 

 M. Fee, "que le specimen n. 287 (of Mr. Cuming) semble etre la meme plants 

 que le n. 332." The form of the frond, the venation, and the very irregular 

 nature of the fructification are the same. It is an aberrant Polypodium, and 

 bordering upon some of the AntrojjJiya. 



330. p. (Phymatodes) long'ifolium, Metten.; caudex hori- 

 zontal creeping thick squamose, stipites approximate 2-3 

 inches long, fronds 1-2-3 feet long %-\\ inch wide thick 

 carnoso-coriaceous glabrous linear-lanceolate obtusely acu- 

 minate gradually long-attenuated below on the stipes entire 

 the margins subrevolute, venation internal very indistinct, 

 costules veniform united by transverse veins into rather large 

 areoles then into irregular lesser ones which include free 

 veinlets, sori compital oblong forming a line or series near 

 the margin rather close-placed sunk into the substance of 

 the frond and forming a corresponding elevated line on the 

 upper surface, capsules mixed with long-stipitate scales. —
