hairy, and densely glandular beneath, with the lowerpinnje suddenly dwarfed. A, dimor- 

 phum, Kze., is said to differ from this by the presence of a gland at the base of the 

 pinnae.

189. N. stipellatum, Hk. ; st. tufted, 1 ft. 1., grey, naked ; fi; 2 ft. 1., 8-10 in, 

 br. ; pinnce 4-6 in. 1., j in. br., the apex acuminate, the edge cut about one-third 

 down into oblong-falcate lobes, the base with a large scale-like gland beneath 

 the midrib ; texture subcoriaceous ; rachis and midrib beneath villose ; mins 

 pinnate in the lobes, with 6 veinlets on a side, with sori in rows near the main 

 vein. — Hk. Sp. 4. p. 70. 



Hab. Java. — A more coriaceous plant than A . moUe, with broader lobes, the under 

 surface nearly naked. A , latebromm, Eze., is said to differ from this by being more 

 deeply lobed, with the under surface glandular, and the basal gland bluntly tubercular, 

 not scale-like, 



190. N. crinipes, Hk. ; St. 12-18 in. 1., stout, erect, densely clothed with brown 

 linear scales ; fr. 2-3 ft, 1,, 8-12 in, br, ; pinnae horizontal, 4-6 in, 1,, ^-| in, br,, 

 cut albout halfway down into close linear-oblong lobes ; rachis scaly in the lower 

 part ; texture herbaceous, both sides naked ; veinlets 6-8 on a side ; sori medial.

Hab. Sikkim (subtropical region), Hh. fil, and Thomson ; Malacca, Qriffith. — Best dis- 

 tinguished from truncalum by its scaly stem and rachis. 



191. N. venustum, J. Sm. ; St. tufted, 1 ft. or more 1., naked, greyish, glossy ; 

 fr. 2 ft. or more 1., 1 ft. br. ; pinnw numerous, spreading, 6 in. 1., 1 in. br., with 



blunt oblong lobes reaching halfway down ; texture herbaceous ; rachis and 

 both surfaces naked, glossy ; veins about 8 on each side, with sori principally in 

 the lobes close to the edge, — Hk. Sp. 4. p. 71. 



Hab. Jamaica. — About midway between molle and hraehyodon. A Mexican specimen, 

 sent by Professor Beichenbach as A. paludosum, Liebm., may be the same plant, but the 

 veinlets are closer and more numerous (10-12 on a side), 



192. N. ferox, Moore ; st. 1-2 ft. 1., strong, densely fibrillose, the hairs black 

 and leaving the stem rough when they fall ; fr. 3-4 ft. 1., sometimes 2 ft. br. ; 

 pinnce rather close, spreading, 6-12 in. 1., f-1 in. br., apex very acuminate, 

 edge cut about a third down into lanceolate-falcate lobes ; texture subcoriaceous ; 

 both surfaces glossy ; veins in pinnated groups of 10-12 veinlets on a side, with 

 often a sorus on each close to the main vein. — Hk. Sp. 4:. p. 77. Phegopteris,

Hab. Kumaon, Philippines, Java. — A well-marked species. 



193. N. sagittmfoUum, Moore ; st. 1-2 ft, 1., tufted, stout, erect, villose ; fr. 3-4 

 ft, 1., 1 ft, or more br, ; pinnae numerous, spreading, 6-8 in, 1,, f in, br,, the apex 

 acuminate, the edge cut from one-third to halfway down into oblong-falcate 

 lobes, the lower pinnse suddenly dwarfed and deflexed ; texture subcoriaceous ; 

 rachis and under surface densely villose ; veins pinnate in the lobes, with 8-10 

 veinlets on a side, with a sorus midway on each ; caps, setose, — Hk, Sp. 4, p. 78,

194. N. truncatum, Presl ; st. tufted, istout, erect, 2 ft. 1,, greyish, naked or 

 slightly villose ; fr. 2-4 ft. 1., 12-18 in. bv. ; pinna 6-9 in. 1., 1 in. br., cut down 

 ■dne-third or more of the distance to the rachis into blunt, spreading, oblong 

 lobes ; texture papyraceo-herbaceous ; lower pinnce distant, small ; under surface 

 nearly or quite naked ; rachis slightly villose ; veins pinnate in the lobes, with 

 6-8 veinlets on a side, with a sorus on each near the main vein. — Aspid. ilfe«. Fil,
