 186, tab. LXXXVII, A--B; Bedd., Ferns Br.I., II, tab. CLXXXIX, A. 



Rhizome erect, clothed with short, inconspicuous scales Stipes densely 

 tufted, 1 — 2 c.M. long, more or less clothed with soft, spreading, reddish 

 hairs. Fronds linear-lanceolate, 8 — 23 c.M. long, 1^2 — 2^2 c.M. broad, narrow- 

 ed towards both ends. Pinnae + erecto-patent, contiguous, straight or fal- 

 cate, slightly decurrent at the base, the edge distinctly, bluntly or sharply 

 toothed, the apex bluntish or acuminate; lower pinnae gradually reduced. 

 Texture papyraceo-herbaceous ; surfaces slightly and the rachis more densely 

 hairy like the stipe; veins simple. Sori superficial, ± 3 — 6 on each side, 1 

 to each tooth, rather distant.

Stipes tufted, very short, naked. Fronds 10 — 15 c.M, long, 2 7a — 4 c.M. 

 broad, cut down to the rachis throughout into erecto-patent, blunt, repando- 

 crenate pinnae 1 — 2 m.m. broad. Texture firm-herbaceous; rachis and 

 both surfaces ± naked; veins simple. Sori distant, slightly immersed, ter- 

 minal on the veins, filling nearly the whole space between the midrib and 

 edge.

{10b) P. eryihrotrichiiiu, Copel., Philipp. Journ., I, Suppl., 

 160, tab. XX. 



Rhizome short-creeping, clothed with short, subciliate, deciduous, fuscous 

 scales. Stipes approximate, 2 — 5 c.M. long, densely clothed like the rachis 

 with red-purple hairs. Fronds pendulous, 30 — 50 c.M. long, 2 '/a — 4 c.M. 

 broad. Pinnae very numerous, spreading, ± 2 m.M. broad, hardly dilated at 

 the base, entire, obtuse, the lower reduced gradually to mere teeth. Tex- 

 ture papryaceo-herbaceous ; surfaces glabrescent ; costae sinuate (flexuose ?) 

 towards the apex ; veins simple, erecto-patent. Sori oblong, nearly parallel to 

 the costae, to 10 on each side, subimmersed, the edges of the cavities slightly 

 raised.
