Ferns of British India and Ceylon. 107 



inches long. — Assam (Griffith), pinnae 2\ inches long. Cyrtogonium 

 pinnatura, J. Sm. Hist. Fil. 142 — (Chorizopteris pinnata, Moore, 

 Ind, Fil. xix., represents abnormal small growth collected in 

 Assam by Griffith, and Chorizopteris bipinnata is small abnormal 

 bipinnate growth from Fiji.) Though best known under Fee's 

 specific name of Blumeanum, Blume's name of lomarioides is 

 the oldest and must be adopted. As to the genus, it is only 

 Leptochilus in part of Blume, a name occupied iu the Syn. Fil. 

 for a section of Gymnopteris, so I have adopted J. Smith's name. 

 (Also in the Philippines, Java, Fiji, and Solomon Islands, &c.) 



Lom a gramma perakensis (n. sft.) Rhizome 40-50 feet 

 long, 1 in. diameter, epiphytic on trees ; stipes 6-8 inches apart, 

 about i foot long, slightly scaly, but scales soon deciduous, rachis 

 not winged upwards ; frond 3-4 feet long, very similar to those 

 of Blumeana. but coriaceo-herbaceous in texture, pinnae entire 

 or obscurely crenated, quite glabrous or costa very slightly scaly, 

 veins sunk and scarcely visible, venation very similar to Blumeana 

 but closer and costal areoles smaller ; fertile pinnae 1-1^ lines 

 broad. 



Perak, 400 feet alt. {Day) Referred by me to Blumeana in 

 my List of Day's Perak ferns. Perak, 2,500-3,000 feet alt. (Dr. 

 King's collectors, No. 8,345), the pinnae all fall off in drying, 

 much more so than in Blumeana. 



1. Photinofteris rigida. Perak, 3,000 feet alt. (Day, 

 Scortcchini.) 



2. Photixopteris drynarioides. Perak, 2,000 feet alt. 

 On tops of highest trees. • (Day.) 



2. Platycerium Wallichu. Munipore. (Watt.) In these 

 Munipore specimens, the terminal segments of the fertile frond, 

 beyond the usual soriferous disks, are again furnished with small 

 :orilcrous patches ; I am not aware that this ever occurs in the 

 Malay Peninsula fern; if this is the case, the Munipore species 

 may be a good variety.
