3. forma caripensis (Willd.). 
Syn. Polypodium caripense H. B. Willd. sp. 5: 202. 1810! 
Aspidium caripense f. brachyloba A. Br. Ind. sem. ht. Berol. app. 1857: 2! 
Nearly identical with f. tenuifolia, but generally with smaller pinna: (15 cm >< 
2!» em) and fewer veins (10—12), which are not so close as in the Brazilian 
forms. The scales of the coste: beneath are never hair-like but rather uniform 
(fig. 34^). Underside often glandulose.

Aspidium microchlaena Fée, 8 mém. 102. 1857; Dryopteris microchlaena C. Chr. 
Ind. 278. 1905 from Mexico, Orizaba, ScuarrNER nr. 459 can, I think, with certainty 
be referred to this form of D. submarginalis. Fournier (Mex. pl. 1: 93) united it 
with Aspidium microcarpon Fée, 8 mém. 105, based on ScHAFFNER nr. 214 from 
Cordoba, Mexico. Nephrodium crinitum « Sod. is most probably the true caripensis. 
4. forma glaucescens (Sodiro). 
Syn. Nephrodium crinitum & glaucescens Sod. Cr. vase. quit. 251. 1893. 
Under-surface more or less glaucous and often glandular. Sori often found 
furnished with a somewhat glandulose and ciliate indusium; segments acute and 
faintly toothed. Otherwise like f. caripensis.
