reaching the apex of the lobe. Sori solitary and medial on the lobes, 

 with the lower edge of. the lobe recurved so as to clasp the sorus. — 

 Fee's diagnosis is not to my disposal, but I think it fits this species, 

 which is doubtless different from P. cucuUatum Nees & Bl.

Rhizome erect or ascending, clothed with pale-brown, lanceolate, 

 acute, entire scales. Fronds consociate, linear or linear-lanceolate, + 

 6 — 12 cm. long, 5 — 10 mm broad, sessile or short-stalked, narrowed 

 towards both ends, cut down to a rather narrowly winged costa into 

 remote or approximate, erecto-patent or spreading, oblong, or linear-oblong 

 lobes; lobes blunt, 1% — 2 mm. broad, the fertile ones similar to the barren 

 but somewhat broader, with the lower • edge partly reflexed so as to 

 clasp the sorus. Texture firm; both surfaces copiously (not densely) long- 

 hairy; a simple central vein only in each lobe. Sori 1 to each lobe, 

 oblong, medial.

Rhizome short, erect. Fronds tufted, sessile, linear, to 25 cm. long, 

 4 — 6 mm. broad, bluntish, cut down nearly to the costa, narrowed very 

 gradually at the base, the base provided with linear, entire, ferrugineous 

 - scales. Segments ascending ; lower and central segments sterile, rather 

 approximate, the lower deltoid, bluntish, the central subquadrangular, to 

 2*/2 nim. long, 2 mm. broad, entire or excised at the apex; higher 

 segments fertile, to 5 mm. long, 2-fld, the lobules acute. Texture firm; 

 surfaces and edges when youg provided with forked, dark-brown hairs; 

 veins indistinct, simple or forked, not reaching the margin. Sori solitary 

 on the anterior lobule of the fertile segments, superficial, protected by 

 the folded posterior lobule.
