(14a) C anipla, Copel., in Philipp. Journ., VF, 361. 



Stipes glabrescent, castaneous, verruculose, clothed at the base with 

 broad, ciliate scales; main rachis castaneous, minutely lacerato-tomentose, 

 the tomentum castaneous, partly persistent, partly deciduous. Pinnae- 

 stalked, the central ones the largest, 40 cm. long, nearly 20 cm. broad, 

 acute. Pinnulae stalked, the largest 10 cm. long, 2 V2 cm. broad, pinnatifld, 

 or 'pinnate at the base, the costa minutely pilose above. Segments 6 mm. 

 broad, obtuse, coarsely toothed towards the apex, the lower not rarely 

 free, adnate, the costulae minutely lacerato-squamulose towards the base 

 beneath. Texture herbaceous; surfaces naked; under surface paler than 

 the upper; veins ± 7 on each side of the costulae, the lower twice forked. 

 Sori nearly marginal; indusium hyaline, soon cleft down. 



Borneo. 



(16) C Zollingeriana, Mett. 



Stipes dark, purple-brown, as are the rachises, aculeolate-asperous, 

 deciduously ferrugineo-furfuraceous. Fronds 3-pinnatifld, sub-3-pinnate, the 

 main rachis muriculato-asperulous, purveyed beneath with prominent, tuber- 

 culiform glands near the bases of the pinnae, and (like the secondary 

 rachises) villoso-tomentose above, deciduously furfuraceous beneath, the 

 covering ferrugineous, intermixed mth fugacious, brown, narrowly subulate 

 or subflliform paleae. Pinnae short-stalked, lanceolate-ovate. Pinnulae 

 approximate, sessile, horizontal or spreading, or the lower more or less 

 decurved or deflexed, linear-oblong, shortly and bluntly acuminate, deeply 

 pinnatifld, or the largest pinnate at the very base, the largest about 6 — 7 cm. 

 long, about I'/i — I'd cm. broad at the truncate base; costae puberulo- 

 tomentose above, deciduously ferrugineo-furfuraceous and squamulose be- 

 neath, the scales brown, lanceolate, fugacious. Segments approximate, 

 subhorizontal, subfalcate, linear-oblong, blunt, serrulate-crenate, the lower 

 often free ; costulae above naked, beneath squamulose in the lower part. 

 Texture coriaceous ; surfaces naked ; upper surface dark, lower paler ; veins 

 to 10 — 12 on a side, mostly forked. Sori costular, on the 1 — 2 (rarely 

 3 — 4) lower veins, the lowest close to the costae; indusium firm, brown, 

 cupuliform, the mouth constricted, + repand, afterwards cut down irregularly.
