Hab. In clefts of rocks and on old trees, on the lofty moun- 

 tains of Java, Blume. Trunks of trees, near Tatanara, 

 Peru, Lechler. 



The only localities known of this elegant and rare species 

 of Polypodium, are the high mountains of Java, and those of 

 the Peruvian Andes. I possess, indeed, only Peruvian speci- 

 mens ; but they quite accord with Blume's figure.
