30 Ferns of British India and Ceylon. 



ovate-acuminate, the lower base obliquely truncate, the rest of 

 the margin very sharply inciso-serrate, the upper base enlarged 

 into a rounded or obovate lobe ; texture coriaceous ; veins close, 

 flabellate ; no distinct midrib ; sori narrow, long linear. Hook, 

 Syn. Fil. 209. 



Goping, Perak. (Dr. King's collector, No. 432.) Perhaps 

 only a variety of falcatum, but the pinnae are broader below and 

 shorter. 



(Also in Tonquin, Tropical America, Cuba.) 



21. ASPLF.NIUM PARADOXUM. (King, No. 411, 7,164.) 

 23. ASPLENIUM UNILATERALE. 



Var. delicatulu.m. Taok, Mr. Parish informs me, is the 

 locality for this variety. 



25. ASPLENIUM LACINIATUM. 



Var. depauperatum. (Clarke.) Fronds small, 7-14 inches 

 long; pinnae small, \-\ \ inches long ; pinnatifid less than halfway 

 to the midrib ; margins obtusely or acutely toothed. Clarke, 

 F. N. I. p. 482. 



I have received large specimens of this from Mr. Blandford, 

 and agree with him that it must be recorded as a variety. It 

 seems to connect some of the varieties of furcatum with this 

 species, if it is not rather a variety of that fern. Wall. Cat. 234, 

 depauperatum, is not this variety, but typical laciniatum. 



Var. crinigerum. Dr. Watt has collected fine specimens 

 of this fern in Munipore. (No. 5,849.) It should perhaps be raised 

 to specific rank between furcatum and laciniatum. Watts's 

 specimens are put with furcatum at Kew, a species which does 

 not occur in N. India. 



27. Asplenium Ruta-muraria. Nepal, Kumaon, 10,000- 

 12,000 feet alt. (Duthie.) 

 (Also in Afghanistan.)
