falcate, triangular-lanceolate, the largest + 8 cm. broad at or above the 

 base, acuminate, the rachis provided with short, scattered, narrowly 

 linear scales, as are the costae. Pinnulae close, horizontal, subsessile, 

 the largest + 1 ','2 — ^ cm. broad at or near the base, acuminate, cut 

 down nearly to the costa. Lobes close, spreading, subquadrangular-oblong, 

 + 4 — 5 mm. broad, blunt or truncate, sUghtly revolute at the edge, 

 subentire and confluent at the base, or the lower coarsely crenate to 

 lobate-crenate and subtruncate (but not free) at the base. Texture firm; 

 surfaces naked; veins 4 — 6 on each side in the largest lobes, the higher 

 simple, the others forked or twice forked. Sori medial. 



Forma typica. — Java. 



Var. reniota: At least the lower pinnae, pinnulae and lobes con- 

 spicuously remote, the rachises less squamulose, often glabrous. — Sumatra.

Fronds sometimes more elongated, lanceolate, with the lower pinnae 

 more reduced; pinnulae (secondary segments) close or remote, blunt or 

 acute, at least the lowest pinnatifld, often close to the rachis and not 

 rarely more or less elongated; lower sori often more or less oblong.

Stipes + 80 cm. long, grey-brown, deciduously shortly fibrilloso- 

 tomentose, somewhat scaly towards the base, at length naked. Fronds 

 3-pinnatifid, + 60—70 cm. broad. Pinnae close; central pinnae spreading, 

 short-stalked, lanceolate-oblong, ± 30—35 cm. long, ± 8—10 cm. broad 

 at or near the truncate base, acuminate; lowest pinnae shorter, rather 

 deflesed. Pinnulae numerous, the largest horizontal or nearly so, sessile 

 or subpetiolulate, 1',.^— 2 cm. broad at or near the truncate base, cut 

 down to the costa into horizontal or nearly horizontal, entire or toothed, 

 linear-oblong segments 3—4 mm. broad and truncate or rounded at the 

 apex, slightly dilated at the base. Texture modarately firm-herbaceous; 

 surfaces naked, at best shortly pubescent on the costae and costulae; 

 upper surface very dark, rather blackish, under surface somewhat paler; 

 rachises flbrilloso-tomentose, partly glabrescent; veins simple or forked,
