the hispid rachis, into oblong adnate deeply regularly pinnatifid 
tertiary segments, with lanceolate-deltoid entire contiguous ultimate 
eins indistinct, forked in the lower 4-nary segments. Sori 
1-2, placed near the base of each 4-nary segment.—Forests at 7500 
feet. Allied to A. oligocarpa, Fée (A. decomposita, Karsten). 
1327. Atsopura ? LATE-vaGans, Baker, n. sp.—Caudex ? Stipe ? 
“Frond procumbent, bluish green, glossy, 10-12 feet long,” 
bipinnatifid. Main rachis naked, very glossy, slender, castaneous. 
Pinne spreading, lanceolate, on castaneous petioles 14-2 in. long; 
lamina lanceolate, about half a foot long, 18-21 lines broad, cut 
down to a narrow wing to the main rachis into lanceolate entire 
spreading contiguous pinnules } in. broad; texture subcoriaceous ; 
upper surface green; lower decidedly glaucous ; both quite free 
r 
except the uppermost forked. Sori small, globose, subcostular, 
8-10-jugate in the lower pinnules.—Open forests, alt. 6700 feet. 1 
d w what to make of this, The sori are those of an 
Alsophila, but the habit seems most peculiar, and in other 
respects it shows no near affinity to any species we possess already. 
The pinne in size and cutting look like fronds of Polypodium 
vulgare.

naked, 1-2 in. long, broadly winged down to the very base. Frond 
lanceolate, 4-6 in. long, 18-21 lines broad at the middle, narrowed 
to both ends, bipinnatifid, finely pilose on both surfaces, with 
win, road ‘ 
main rachis. Pinne lanceolate, deeply pinnatifid, }-} in. broad, 
the segments adnate and erecto-patent, the upper lanceolate and 
one-veined, the lower forked or bifid, with a vein down the centre 
of each lobe. Sori solitary, immersed in the tips of the secondary 
seements; involucre twice as long as road, without any lip or 
innu 
atent, the central ones a foot long, 3-4 in. broad ; the lower ones 
a ae Pinnules sessile, lanceolate, crowded, patent, +-§ in. 
broad, cut down to a narrow wing into oblong-quadrate dentate 
tiary segments. Veins pinnate in the tertiary segments ; veln- 
lets 2-8-jugate, remote, simple, erecto-patent. _ Sori 4-6 to a fully- 
developed tertiary segment, marginal, terminal on the veins. 
Involucre cup-shaped, the outer part of the involute edge of 
the frond rather modified in texture.— Woods at 6500 feet. Allied
