602 POLYPODIUM. § 1. EUPOLYPODIUM. d. PINNATAB. 



Rhizome short-creeping, clothed with narrow, black, ciliate scales. Stipes 

 2—4 c.M. long, puberulous. Fronds 10—20 c.M. long, I'/j — o% c.M. broad, 

 acuminate or caudate, the rachis black, short-pubescent. Pinnae linear, spread- 

 ing, often separated by more than their own breadth, the longest + 2 m.M. 

 broad, blunt, entire, dilated at the base, the lower reduced, more distant, 

 hardly decurrent. Texture coriaceous; under surface clothed with more or 

 less deciduous, reddish hairs; veins hidden, simple. Sori nearly terminal on 

 the veins, nearly parallel to the coslae, hardly immersed, + 22 on the long- 

 est pinnae. 



Luzon. 



(77) P. malaccanum, JBfc., Ann. of Bot., VIII, 129. 



Stipes densely tufted, slender, scaly, 2V,— 5 cM. long, the scales brown, 

 subulate, spreading, deciduous. Fronds lanceolate, 12 — 15 c.M. long, l'/4 — I'/i 

 c.M. broad. Pinnae multijugate, linear, entire, obtuse, the base dilated, the 

 lower ones smaller. Texture moderately firm; surfaces covered with subulate, 

 brown scales; veins simple, ereclo-palent, 6— 8-jugate in the central pinnae. 

 Sori round, superficial, in 1 row on each side of the costae. 



Malacca. 



(78) P. braehyphlebinni, Bh., Ann. of Bot., VIII, 129. 



Stipes short, slender, tufted, clothed with short, spreading, subulate scales. 

 Fronds lanceolate, + IS c.M. long, + I'/a — l'/* c.M. broad, narrowed at the 

 base. Pinnae contiguous, multijugate, linear, obtuse, entire, ± 2 '/i m.M. broad, 

 dilated at the base. Texture moderately firm; surfaces pubescent; veins short, 

 erecto-patent, simple. Sori semiglobose, superficial, in 1 row on each side of 

 the costae. 



Sumatra. 



(79) P. lividum, Mett., Ann. Mus. Bot. L. B., II, 221. 



Rhizome short, subascending, the scales membranaceous, ferrugineous, 

 oblong-lanceolate. Stipes short, clothed with short, rigid hairs. Fronds 5 — 15 

 c.M. long, ± 1 '/^ — 1 '/, C.M. broad, lanceolate, narrowed gradually towards 

 both ends,' the edge pinnatifid nearly to the costa. Segments numerous, spread- 

 ing, decurrent, confluent, linear-oblong, the apex narrowed, obtuse, crenate; 

 lowest segments decurrent upon the stipe. Texture thinly coriaceous; colour 

 bluish-olivaceous; under surface hairy like the stipe, the hairs glanduliform ;
