 Rep., XII, 526. 



Differs from D. Kingii Co2:)el. in having both stipe and main rachis 

 clothed with more or less persistent pubescence, the frond 3 — 4-pinnatifid, 

 the main rachis not winged, the lower pinnae somewhat shorter than 

 the following, the pinnulae free and decurrent, or confluent at the base, 

 cut down to a winged rachis into toothed or pinnatifid tertiary segments. 

 — Rhizome scales with the basal portion reniform with conspicuously 

 overlapping lobes, and pale-margined like the filiform apex. 



Forma typica. — Siimatra, Java, Borneo. 



War, novoguineenise: Rhizome scales ciliate; indusia broader

Rhizome creeping, both it and the stipes pubescent-fibrillose, at 

 length glabrescent. Stipes to 30 cm. or more long. Fronds lanceolate, 

 + 30 — 45 cm. long, + 15—20 cm. broad, long-acuminate, pinnate, the 

 rachis hirsuto-fibrillose. Pinnae many, lanceolate-subulate, gradually 

 acuminate, duplicate-crenate ; terminal pinna mostly hastate or deeply 

 pinnatifid at the base ; lateral pinnae horizontal or nearly so, approximate 

 or the higher more close and the' lower more remote; lower pinnae 

 shortly petiolulate, truncate and hastate or semihastate at the base, 

 broadest at the upper base, the auricles parallel to the rachis, deltoid or 

 oblong to linear-oblong, acute or romided at the apex; higher pinnae
