glossy, fronds subchartaceous firm and probably rather fleshy 

 when recent, 11-2^ inches long 1-1 j inch wide exactly ovate 

 obtuse obtusely cuneate at the base entire glabrous opaque 

 rather obscurely costate, costules internal subreniform united 

 by transverse veins forming a few large areoles and those 

 filled with an irregular network of smaller areoles enclosing 

 one or more free veinlets, sori compital small the superior 

 ones form a single series on each side the costa the rest are 

 few on my specimens and irregularly arranged. — Kse. in

Hab. Luzon. Cuming, n. 58. — So distinct a species that it needs no comment.

353. P. (Phymatodes) Zippelii, Bl. ; caudex creeping palea-

 1-2 inches long but winged with the decurrent base of the 

 frond, frond 10-12 inches long 1-H inch broad elongato-lan- 

 ceolate firm-membranaceous acuminate long-attenuated below 

 and gradually decurrent to the base of the stipes entire gla- 

 brous, venation evident, costules distant obliquely patent 

 slender connected by transverse veins including a network of 

 smaller irregular areoles which have occasionally a free simple 

 included veinlet, sori small compital subbiseriate between 

 the costules but in general numerous and very irregular. — BL
