Hah. India: Khasya, Mumbree, and Nuncklow, Griffith; hvLch&n, Hooker fil. 

 and Thomson, alt. 6000 feet. — A rather large and well-marked species. 



.35. G. (Eugymnogramme) suhsiniilis, Hook. ; caudex ?, 

 " whole plant .3-4 feec liigh," stipes 1 foot and more long 

 testaceous brown very glossy, frond in my specimen 2| feet 

 long ] \ foot wide firm membranaceous glabrous subdeltoid 

 acuminate bipinnate below subtripinnate pinnate above the 

 middle, pinnatifid at the apex, pinnae all petiolate the lowest 

 pintmle or segment always the largest primary lowest pinna 

 10 inches long their lowest basal secondary pinna 5 inches 

 long subpinnate at the base, pinnules 2-3 inches long ^-| of 

 an inch wide often adnate and subdecurrent at the base lo- 

 bato-pinnatifid obtuse or acute, above the middle they are 

 confluent, intermediate pinnae deeply pinnatifid, the seg- 

 ments resembling the pinnules but rather crenate than lobate 

 at the margin, veins rather distant rarely simple mostly 

 forked once or more rarely twice soriferous near the middle 

 of the superior veinlet distant from the margin, sori small 

 oblong. (Tab. CCXCIII.) 



Hab. Fernando Po, n. 125, G. Mann. — This is an ally of G. ohtusata, but the 

 venation and the position of the sori are very different. 



36. G. (Eugymnogramme) decurrenti-alata, Hook. ; cau- 

 dex ?, sti])es H foot long rather stout, frond sparsely palea- 

 ceous with a few rather large ferruginous lanceolate scales, 

 frond \\ foot long 1 foot wide at the base dark-green mem- 

 branace(ms subsucculent deltoideo-ovate acun)inate bipinnate 

 below, pinnate in the middle, pinnatifid at the apex, pinnae all 

 petiolate subopposite oblong acuminate, inferior basal seg- 

 ments or pinnules the largest, lower primary pinnae with the 

 pinnules an inch long 5 lines wide subopposite distant re- 

 mote adnate and decurrent so that they are connected by a 

 winged rachis, oblong very obtuse lobato-pinnate most so on 

 the inferior margin and the lowest lobe always the largest 

 forming a blunt rounded auricle, intermediate pinnae deeply 

 pinnatifid with segments resembling the pinnules, veins pin- 

 nate subfasciculate, a fascicle to each lobe soriferous chiefly 

 at the base of the veinlets, the sori oblong and then forked 

 rarely a sorus produced on the veiidets nearer the margin.
