costa, rarely parallel to it, several on each side, if parallel to the costa, 

 then rarely a single long- one on each side of it, continuous or interrupted, 

 No indusium. 



(1) lu. parallela, Copel., in Philipp. Journ., XF, tab. II, fig. 7. 

 A specimen received from Luzon has the fronds 5—15 cm. long, 



5 — 10 mm. broad, and the costa sub terete above, keeled beneath (when 

 seen in a saturate chloral-hydrate solution) ; sori parallel or subparallel to 

 the costa. — Perhaps a narrow form of L. lanceolata Pr. only. 

 Also in Java.

(4) Ij. lanceolata, l»r.,- ? L. malayana, Copel.., in Philipp. Journ., 

 XF, 46, p.p. ; G-rammitis lanceolata, Sio., (oldest name). 



Fronds linear-lanceolate or oblanceolate, often broadest above the 

 middle, + 15 — 30 cm. long by 1 — 2 cm. broad, narrowed gradually from 

 there towards the long-decurrent base. — The specimens gathered in 

 Java have the costa subterete above, flattened to keeled beneath (when 

 examined in a saturate chloral-hydrate solution), and the sori much 

 ascending, partly remote partly slightly imbricate, near the costa and not 

 rarely subparallel to it, and specimens received from Ceylon, British 

 India and another unmentioned locality have the sori sometimes even 

 very remote and positively parallel to the costa, as in L. parallela Co2Je^. — 

 It may be possible that Copeland was right when separating the Asiatic 

 specimens from the typical African but L. malayana, as represented in 

 Phihpp. Journ., XF, tab. I, fig. 1, resembles very much some of our 

 specimens of L. Blumeana Pr. var. avenia. 



(4a) El. Itrookisii, Copeh, in Philipp. Journ., IX<--, 232; XI^, 

 tab. II, fig. 6. 



Near L. lanceolata Pr. but the fronds linear-lanceolate, + 12 — 20 cm. 

 long by 1 — I'/i cm. broad, ' broadest at or below the middle, hardly 

 decurrent at the base; sori not imbricated, rather remote, short, some- 

 times, nearly i-ound, nearer the margin than the costa (conf. Copeland's 

 figure and a duphcate of Brooks' No. 124 on which Copeland founded 

 this species).
