﻿71. POLYPODimi. § 1. EUPOLYPODIUM. C. PINNATIFIDAE. 589 



C.V. Lobes rather regular, toothed with 2 — 5 sharp teeth. 



(52) P. denticulatum. 

 b.b.b. Fully developed fronds more than 15 m.M. broad. 



X. Fronds sessile, the margin deeply pinnatifid. (53) P. Burbidgei. 

 X'X' Fronds stalked, the margin cut at best ^j^-way down to the costa. 



(54) P. ludens. 



(47) P. gracillimum, CopeM., Polypod. Philipp., 121. 



Rhizome creeping or ascending, the scales small, brown, lanceolate. 

 Fronds approximate, to ± 12 c.M. long and 4 m.M. broad, nearly sessile, 

 pinnatifid nearly to the rachis into small, acute, distant, erecto-patent, decur- 

 rent, alternate segments. Surfaces naked. Sori 1 to each segment, medial, 

 the lower side of the lobe folded over the sorus. 



Philippines. 



* (48) P. cucullatum, Xees 4* Bl., Rac, Flor. Btz., I, 89 ; 

 Christ, Farnkr. d. Erde, fig. 211; Grammitis cucullata, Bl., Flor. Jav., II, 119, 

 tab. L, fig. 3; Callymodon cucullatus, Pr., Bedd., Ferns S.I., tab. CCXXXIII; 

 — var. planum, Copel., Philipp. Journ., II, 157. 



Rhizome erect, the scales linear-lanceolate. Stipes densely tufted, very 

 short or nearly wanting. Fronds 5 — 13 c.M. long, ± 3 — 10 m.M. broad, 

 narrowed towards both ends, the edge deeply pinnatifid. Lobes linear- 

 oblong, blunt, entire, erecto-patent, numerous, rather distant, 1 — 2 m.M. 

 broad, the higher ones fertile, rather shorter and broader, with the lower 

 edge reflexed so as to clasp the sorus. Texture slightly coriaceous; surfaces 

 and midrib often hairy; veins simple, 1 to each lobe. Sori 1 to each lobe, 

 medial. 



War. planiini. Segments flattened, large, approximate, orbicular- 

 oblong. Sori large, subsuperficial. 



Malaya; Ceylon, Fiji, New Caledonia; — var. planum: Mindoro. 



(49) P. alternidens, Ce*., Fel. di Bor., 25, tab. II, fig. 4— 4a. 



Rhizome short, sparingly fibrillose. Fronds 3 — 8, erect, 2^2 c.M. long 

 or longer, under 2^/^ m.M. broad, linear, sessile or subsessile. Lobes 20 — 24, 

 rather distant, alternate, oblique, dentiform, obtuse. Texture rigid; surfaces 

 naked. Sori oblong, 1 to each lobe.
