TRICHOMANES Javanicum, Bi. 
Javanese Bristle-Fern. 
TRICHOMANES Javanicum ; caudex short, erect, at length woody, sending down 
numerous, long, very wiry roots, and from above a fascicle of numerous, 
erect, rigid, almost black, deciduously setose stipites, one to four inches or 
more long; fronds oblong, acuminate, four inches to a span and more high, 
rigid-membranaceous, black-green, pinnated; pinne numerous, half an 
inch to nearly an inch long, oblong-rhomboidal, obtuse, obliquely cuneate 
and subpetiolate at the base, superior base more or less truncated, the 
margins serrated, or more or less deeply pinnatifid, especially at the su- 
perior margin, and in the superior and most fructiferous pinne ; often the 
inferior serratures terminate in a long bristle (“‘var. B. serraturis setaceis,” 
Bi., in other words, a segment is formed by a vein destitute of parenchyme) ; 
involucres marginal, subinfundibuliform, scarcely winged, the mouth spread- 
ing; columella often four to six times as long as the involucre, clavate at 
the extremity, very fragile; venation strong and forked.

TRICHOMANES fuscum? Bl. En. Fil. Jav. p. 225 (Van den Bosch refers this to 
a group of Cephalomanes “with scandent rhizomes and scattered fronds ;” 
if that be correct, it is probably quite a distinct species, and more allied to 
Tr. auriculatum (Tr. dissectum, J. Sm.), which has a “ scandent radicant 
caudex,” not however noticed by Blume in his Tr. fuscum: and the species is 
acknowledyed to be unknown to Van den Bosch).
