306 TAKEDA—ASIATIC POLYPODIUMS: APPENDIX. 
APPENDIX. 
The Chinese and Japanese Polypodiums of the 
Subgenus Pleopeltis in the Herbarium, Royal 
Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. 
BY. 
H, TAKEDA, D.LC. 
THROUGH the courtesy of the authorities of the Royal 
Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, the writer has had an opportunity 
of examining the Chinese and Japanese specimens of Polypodium 
subg. Pleopeltis. Although the majority of them are the same 
as those mentioned in the foregoing paper, yet, as there are 
several specimens which require comment, and also many others 
from new localities, it is thought advisable to enumerate all 
the specimens examined. The excellent specimens of P. 
hastatum and of P. Englert from various localities have afforded 
the writer the means of studying these two plants very closely. 
As the result, the distinguishing characters formerly held have 
proved to be insufficient for separation of these two species, so 
that P. Engleri has been entirely suppressed. 
In this enumeration the species are arranged alphabetically. 
Except for a few cases, synonyms, etc., which can be found in 
the foregoing paper are not given, since this list is meant to be 
a supplement to the other. After each species which is dealt 
with in the foregoing contribution the corresponding number is 
indicated, with a view to facilitate reference. 
1. P. annuifrons, Makino (10), 
Japan. Prov. Mino: Yenasan (Sakurai, Aug. 1909, in hb. 
ips. etin hb. Yokohama Nursery Company). Prov. Shimotsuke : 
Chuzenji in Nikké (Takeda, Aug. 1904). Prov. Mutsu: Towada 
(Faurie, n. 13,289). Prov. Ishikari in Yezo: Horonai (Faurie, 
no. 1273). 
The specimens collected by Faurie and above referred to 
have been wrongly reported by Christ as P. simplex in Bull. 
Herb. Boiss. vi, p. 673 (1896). 
2. P. asterolepis, Baker (13). 
. CutInAa. Hupeh: Western Hupeh (Wilson, n. 2635). Yun-
