 P. lycopodioides, Linn. ; var. Mackenii, Bkr. 

 Natal (F. of S. A.). 



145. Polypodium fissum, Baker. 



From description this appears to me to be too near P. 

 africanum, the main difference being that this has 

 ferruginous tomentum on the under surface of the frond, 

 while that of P. africanum is said to be nearly white. 

 But, as mentioned in " Ferns of South Africa," that of 

 P. africanum is at first rufous and afterwards nearly 

 white, at least in some localities. 



Baker includes P. fissum from Zambesi highlands (" New 

 Ferns," p. 90).
