(Hook. Gen. Fil. tab. LXXXIV. A. and B. Pleuro- 

 gramme, Pr. Diclidopteris, Brack. Vaginularia, Fee. Coch- 

 lidiuni, KJfs.) 



Sort linear, much elongated, destitute of involucre, single 

 or geminate or forked, fronds sunk in a groove or cleft, thence 

 subinvolucrate, or superficial. — Fronds linear, simple or rarely 

 forked, costatc, ivith or without simple veins. 



§ EuMONOGRAMME. — Frouds .Simple or forked, veinless. — Monogramme, Schk., 

 Moore. Sp. 1-7. 



1. M. (Eumonogramme) dareacarpa. Hook.; caudex slen- 

 der filiform creeping sparsely hispid with minute subulate 

 scales, fronds subflaccid numerous 8-12 lines long simple 

 filiformi-spathulate scarcely half a line wide in the broadest 

 portion submucronate at the oblique apex costate veinless, 

 sorus sunk in a deep linear cleft at one margin below the 

 a])ex extending to the costa which is there soriferous (and 

 verv much resembles the fructification of a Darcea). (Tah. 

 CCLXXXVIII. A.) 



H;ib. Labuan, Borneo, on the trunks of trees, Barber. — Well marked by the pe- 

 culiar receptacle of the fructitication formed of a deep cleft near the apex of the 

 frond, extending quite to the costa, the other half forming as it were a wing or 

 carina to this short sheath-like receptacle, hence closely resembling in appearance 

 those Darea (in Asplenium) whose involucre has the same texture and colour as 

 the frond. 



2. M. (Eumonogramme) furcata, Desv. ; caudex short 

 scarcely creeping densely fibrous, fronds tufted linear firm 

 subcoriaceous ij-H inch long simple or forked above the 

 middle obtuse strongly costate veinless, the soriferous apices 

 spathulate and concave, sori linear-oblong arising from the 

 costa not in any stage concealed by a du])licature of tlie 

 fronds. — Desv. Journ. Bot. i. p. 23. Pr. Hook. Gen. Fil. t. 84.

 number, which belongs to Monogrannne graminifolia). Corh-
