Ferns of British India and Ceylon. 25 



Dr. King's collectors have gathered in Perak a variety with 

 the fronds glaucous underneath, No. 1,338. 



There is a white banded variety of this common in Ceylon, 

 exactly similar to Pteris quadriaurita, var. argentea, except in 

 venation ; the same is common in cultivation in England. 



Var. major. Segments very large, as in longipinnula ; 

 veins excurrent at the margins ; lower pinnse bipartite. 

 Sikkim. (Dr. Watt.) 



2. Campteria Kleiniana. 



(Also in Madagascar, Antananarina. Zambesi.) 



3. Campteria Wallichiana. N. Munipore. (Watt, Clarke,) 



1. Dorvopteris ludens. Limestone rocks at Moulmein 

 (Parish); Naga Hills, 750 feet alt. (Clarke); Chattick, on the 

 eastern range in Munipore, 5,000 feet alt. (Watt), very abundant. 



2. Litobrochia incisa. Perak, 3,000 feet (Day) ; N. 

 Munipore, 3,500 feet alt. (Clarice). 



Var. integrifolia. Pinnae petiolate ; pinnules subpetiolate, 

 long, linear, acuminate, perfectly entire, obliquely cordate at the 

 base, the basal pair not auricle-like, and an inch. or more distant 

 from the rachis ; veins copiously anastomosing ; sori continuous 

 almost to the apex of the finely-acuminated point. 



Maxwell's Hill, Perak. {Day.) I do not know how far this 

 variety is constant ; it looks very distinct from the ordinary form ; 

 Mr. Day collected copious specimens. In the vast material at 

 Kew from many countries there are no entire pinnuled specimens 

 except from Perak, some specimens from Aneitium have the 

 pinnules only slightly lobed. 



3. Litobrochia marginata should be altered to L. tripartita 

 1 St..), that being the oldest name. Perak up to 3,000 alt. (Day, 



GOftechini.)
