(810?) P. pensile, «*««., in Trans. Linn. Soc, Bot., 2nd Ser., IX, 262. 



Stipes 5 — 6 cm. long, (red-brown-hairy?). Fronds pendulous, + 70 

 cm. long, pinnate. Pinnae numerous, linear, + 2% cm. long Ijy ^'^ mm. 

 broad, shortly and obtusely acuminate, decurrent at the base. Texture 

 subeoriaceous ; surfaces and especially the rachis red-brown-hairy; veins 

 hidden. Sori margmal, ± 6 on each side of the costae. The proper place 

 of this species is uncertain because of incomplete description

Rhizome short, densely clothed with narrowly linear, shining, red- 

 brown or subcastaneous, cihated scales. Stipes aggregate, 3—5 cm. long,

 remote, subhorizontal, straight or falcate, linear, 2 — 3 mm. broad, blunt, 

 suddenly dilated and confluent at the base, the edges parallel, revolute 

 when dry, entire ; lower pinnae free, more remote and more dilated at

 black-brown, scattered hairs; costae flexuose, obscure; veins simple, 

 hidden, oblique. Sori numerous, superficial, in 1 row on a side, at length 

 often fining up nearly the whole under surface of the pinnae, the higher
