278. Dryopteris longifolia (Fée) Hieron. Hedwigia 46: 351. 1907. 
Meniscium longifolium Fée, Cr. vasc. Brés. 1: 84 tab. 25 fig. 2 (an Desy. Prodr. 
223. 1827). — Brazil, Guaziou nr. 1747 (C) and several other specimens. 
This is not very near D. reticulata; it resembles in general habit D. falcata, 
but the petioles of the pinnze are shorter and their base rounded or very shortly 
cuneate, the main difference is, however, the pubescence. The underside is finely 
pubescent throughout and the receptacle is rather densely setose. By this last cha- 
racter it differs from all species mentioned above but agrees with a specimen 
from Plateau de Goyaz, Grazrou nr. 22631 (C), which probably belongs to an un- 
described species. It is scarcely different from D. longifolia in pubescence, in shape 
of pinne it resembles closely typical D. reticulata. A third form, also from Goyaz, 
Guaziou nr. 22633 (C) has similarly pilose receptacles but long, narrow pinnae not 
unlike those of D. angustifolia. 
The following two species have always been considered good species. 
279. Dryopteris angustifolia (Willd.) Urban. 
West-Indies, Honduras, Ecuador. 
280. Dryopteris serrata (Cav.) C. Chr. Ind. 291. 
Brazil, Guiana, Costa Rica— Ecuador. 
Unknown to me are 
Meniscium Salzmanni Fée, Gen. 223 — Bahia. 
M. chrysodioides Fée, Gen. 225 — America austr., coll. PAMPLIN 55. 
M. elongatum Fée, Cr. vasc. Brés. 1: 83 tab. 25 fig. 1. 1869 — Brazil, Grazrou 1169. 
M. sessilifolium Pohl; Fée, l. c. 84 — Brazil, Pout. 
Unknown species of uncertain position. 
The descriptions of the following species are too short or do not mention such 
characters, which might indicate the right position of the species described in my 
classification. 
1. Goniopteris lucida Fée Gen. 253 — Guadeloupe. 
Phegopteris ciliata Fée, Gen. 248 — Cuba, LiNDEN nr. 270. 
Aspidium tenuiculum Fée, Gen. 292 — Cuba?, LINDEN nr. 2. 
Phegopteris amplificata Fée, 8 mém. 89 — Mexico, SCHAFFNER nr. 219. 
Phegopteris melanorachis Fée, 8 mém. 91 — Mexico, ScHAFFNER nr. 238. 
Known as sterile only; probably an Alsophila. 
6. Aspidium cheiloplotium Fée, 8 mém. 105 — Mexico, ScHAFFNER (nr. 499 
t. Founw.).
