302 TAKEDA—ASIATIC POLYPODIUMS. 
Yunnan: Mengtsz, shady rocks and on trees, 8000-9500 ft. 
(Hancock, n. 96) ; without special locality (Delavay, 1883-85). 
Western China (Wilson, n. 5322). 
38. P. drymoglossoides, Baker. 
A very interesting species, closely allied to P. rhyncophyllum 
and P. salicifolium, but is well characterised by the Drymo- 
glossum-like appearance, as the name indicates. 
This fern has a comparatively wide range of distribution 
in China; and as specimens have been collected in different 
localities ‘from time to time, they have been described under 
various names. The synonyms and the specimens examined 
are as follows :— 
P. drymoglossoides, Bak. in Journ. Bot. 1887, p. 170. 
Syn. :—P. moupinense, Franch. in Nouv. Arch. Mus. Par. sér. 
2, X, p. 121 (1887-88). 
P. cyclophylilum, Bak. in Ann. Bot. v, p. 473 (1891). 
’ P. drymoglossoides a, Chr. in Bull. Acad. Intern. Geogr. Bot. 
xi, p. 206, fig. dextr. (1902). 
Chekiang: Ningpo (Hancock, n. 32); Kiangsu: Ling-yen- 
san, Soochow (Matthew, June 1904) ; Hupeh: Ichang (Henry, 
n. 1576) ; Nant’o (Henry, n. 2965, 4392) ; Changyang (Wilson, 
n. 1450) ; without precise locality (Henry, n. 5963) ; Szechwan: 
Mt. Omei (Faber, n. 1046), without locality (Henry, n. 75324). 
39. P. rhyncophyllum, Hooker.* 
So far as the writer is aware, this species has not been re- 
corded from China under its proper name, but has been con- 
founded with the preceding species. However, Christ has 
noticed the difference, and distinguished it as P. drymoglossoides 
8, and has given a figure of the specimen.{ 
Although this fern is not uncommon in Northern India, it 
occurs but seldom in China; I have seen only the following 
specimens :— 
Western China (Wilson, n. 5316). Central China (Wilson, 
n. 1379).
