 Polypodium stenogramnioides Baker. Synop. Fil. 317. 



This handsome species was collected at an elevation of 4000 

 feet above Waimea, Kauai, where the long fronds grew droop- 

 ing over the edge of a stream in the forest. It is probably 

 Hillebrand's var. Kauaiensis, which was collected by Knudsen 

 on Halemanu, which is separated from Kaholuamano, where 

 my specimens grew, by the deep gorge of the west branch of 

 the Waimea river. Hooker and Arnott's specimen must have 

 been collected on Oahu, as the Beechy expedition collected only 

 on Oahu and Nihaui, and the latter island is too low to afford 

 favorable situations for the growth of this fern. It was ob 

 served high up on the slopes of Konahuanui, Oahu. It is an 

 endemic Hawaiian fern, and said by Hillebrand to be "not un- 

 common."

Phegopteris punctata (Thqnb.) Hillebr. PL Haw. Is. 562. 



1888. 

 Polypodium punctatum Thunb. Fl. Jap. 337. 1784. 

 A fern common in the woods on the ridge between the Wahi- 

 awa and Hanapepe rivers, Kauai, and near the former stream. 

 Not reported from Kauai by Hillebrand. 

 July 18 (2587). 



Phegopteris spinulosa Hillebr. PL Haw. Is. 566. 1888. 



A tall fern, found growing among a tangle of other large 

 ferns on a stream bank at an elevation of 4000 feet above Wai- 

 mea, Kauai. Very little of it was found, but this is probably 

 due to the fact that it resembles rather closely several other 

 more common species of the same genus, and hence was usu- 

 ally overlooked. A peculiar Hawaiian fern. Hillebrand's 

 types came from Maui and Hawaii.
