3. ASPLENIUM AFFINE, Sw.; C. Chr. Ind. 100.—4. cuneatum, var. affine, Baker, Fl. 
Maur. 489. 
Mahé, Gardiner! Thomasset ! 
Distribution. Common in the South-east African islands; tropical Asia and Polynesia. 
It may be a variety of 4. cuneatum, Lam., the typical form of which is West Indian. 
Some of the leaves are proliferous at the apex (conf. 4. viviparioides, Kuhn).

Whether this is the true 4. bulbiferum, Forst, I cannot say. Kuhn did not list 
A. bulbiferum as an African species. 
95. STENOCHLJENA PERVILLEI (Mett.), Underw. Bull. Torr. Club, xxxiii. (1906), 49,

Baker, Fl. Maur. 513.

epiphytic climber.
