5. Asprdium multicaudatum Wall. 
Stipes densely scaly. Fronds 3-4 feet long 
with terminal pinnae cut down nearly to the 
rachis into lanceolate, acuminate lobed seg- 
ments, lateral pinnz pinnatifid, the lowest ones 
triangular, deeply pinnatifid above, pinnate 
below. Texture thin, herbaceous. Rachis and 
surfaces naked. Principal veins distinct to the 
edges, areoles with free included veinlets. Sori 
rather large in two rows on both sides of the 
main veins, nearly all at. the affex of the 
free veinlets. 
This is scarcely distinguishable from the 
largest forms of Aspidium cicutarium, but it 
has, we believe, sori restricted only to the free 
veinlets. 
Distribution: Bombay Presidency—North 
Kanara, Nilkund. 
Khasya Hills, south side up to 1,000 feet 
elevation; Burma; Anamallay forests.
