GENUS 66. SYNGRAMMA. Veins mostly uniting 1—5 X 

 at or near the margin, sometimes anastomosing 

 copiously, but then the veins distinctly visible like 

 the costa. Sori with paraphyses. 



GENUS 67. HEMIONITIS. Veins anastomosing copi- 

 ously, distinctly visible like the costa. Sori without 

 parpahyses. 



Tribe IX. Grammitideae. Sori linear, short or long, 1 on 

 each side of the costa, parallel to the latter or the 

 margin. Fronds not articulate to the rhizome. , 



GENUS 68. MONOGKAMMA. Sori costal, often pro- 

 tected by a lateral, raised outgrowth of leaf-tissue. 

 Fronds simple, grass-like; Literal veins mostly 

 wanting. 



GENUS 69. VITTARIA. Sori deeply immersed in 

 marginal or submarginal grooves. Fronds simple or 

 forked, mostly grass-like; lateral veins present, free. 



GENUS 70. TAENITIS. Sori not deeply immersed, 

 medial or submarginal. Fronds pinnate or simple, 

 but then not grass-like; lateral veins present, 

 anastomosing. 



Tribe X. Polypodieae. Sori round, oblong or linear. Fronds 

 articulate to the rhizome. 



GENUS 71. POLYPODIUM. Sori round, oblong or linear, 

 several to numerous on each side, the oblong ones 

 parallel or oblique to the costa, the linear ones 

 oblique. Fronds uniform or dimorphous, simple 

 or divided, the barren ones never oakleaf-like ; 

 surfaces naked, scaly or hairy, if hairy the hairs 

 not stellately branched. 



GENUS 72. CYCLOPHORUS. Sori round or oblong, 

 several to numerous. Fronds as in genus 71,
