53. p. (Pheg.) VogeUi, Hk. ; st. 1^2 ft. 1., naked, sabstramineons, with Jong 

 linear scales at the base ; fr. ample, probably 4 ft. or more 1., 2 ft. br. ; lowest 

 pinnas 1 ft. 1., the pinnl. of the lower side much the largest, and the lowest larger 

 than the others, which are lanceolate, 4-5 in. 1., 1^ in. br., cnt down nearly to 

 the rachis into oblong toothed lobes f-5 in. br. ; texture subcoriaceous ; rachis 

 naked ; under side only slightly hairy on the main veins ; veinlets of the lobes 

 forked ; sort medial. — JH. ^. -i. p. 721. (in part). 



Hab. Fernando Po, Vogel. — This comes near P. cotmexum, bnt the aori are larger, and 

 the texture is thicker. The Cape Verde plant is a large form of N. FUix-mas. Ogmno- 

 gramma gubsimilis, Hk. Sp. 5. p. 142. t. 293, is apparently this species, with the son 

 not fbUy developed. 



64. P. (Pheg.) nigritianum, Baker ; St. lf-2 ft. L, naked, or upwards sub- 

 villose ; fr. 3-4 ft. 1., 2 ft. or more br. ; lower pinnw 1 ft. 1., the pinnl. of the 

 lower side lanceolate, 4r8 in. I., 1^2 in. br., cut down to the rachis below into 

 distinct oblong unequal-sided segm. with deep close entire lobes ; texture herba- 

 ceous ; rachises of the pinnl. densely villose and under side less so ; veinlets 

 pinnate in the lower lobes ; sori submarginal. 



Hab. Gathered by Barter in the Niger Expedition, and by Mann at Fernando Po. 



55. P. (Pheg.) Keraudremianum, Gaud. ; st. J in. thick or more, stramineous 

 or brownish, polished ; fr. 12-15 ft. 1., snbscandent ; pinnw distant, the lower 

 ones 1-3 ft. !., 6-16 in. br. ; pinnl. lanceolate, often deflexed, cut down nearly or 

 quite to the rachis into lanceolate or linear-oblong entire or pinnatifid segm. ; 

 texture herbaceous ; rachises stramineous ; both sides naked or the under one 

 villose ; veinlets pellucid, forked ; sori submarginal. — Hk. Sp. 4. p. 268. 



Hab. Sandwich Isles and Java. — P. procenim. Brack., is evidently a form of this, which 

 varies mnch in cutting, and resembles P. distans on a large scale. 



§§ Cyrtomiphlebium. VeTiation 0/ Q/rtomium, i. e., with the contiguous groups 

 uniUng irregularly. Tab. 48. Fig. f. Sp. 56. 



56. P. (Cyrt.) dtibium, Hk. ; St. tufted, 12-18 in. ]., densely clothed at the 

 base with large firm scales, and upwards with smaller ones ; fr. 2-3 ft. 1., 6-12 

 in. br. ; Uywer pinnw 3-6 in. 1, j-lj in. br., unequal-sided, the apex acuminate, 

 the edge finely toothed, the inner edge on the upper side nearly parallel with the 

 stem, on the lower side oblique ; texture coriaceous ; rachis and both sides nearly 

 naked ; sori copious, roundish or oblong. — Sk. Sp. 5. p. 15. 



Hab. Andes of Ecnador and Pern. — ^Exceedingly like some of the forms of Asfi^tim 

 falcatum in habit and texture. The bipinnatifid plant placed here in *' Species Eilicum " 

 appears to be a form of P. platyphyllum, with slightly anastomosing venation. It is 

 Phegopteris dictyophylla, Mett.

57. P. (Goniopt.) simplidfolium, Hk. ; st. tufted, strong, 2-4 in. 1., villose 

 upwards ; fr. 6-12 in. 1., with a lanceolate-acuminate entire apex 1-lJ in. br,, 

 and at the base 1-6 small blunt spreading entire distinct pinnw ; texture sub- 

 coriaceous ; midrib beneath hispid, and the prominent veins slightly so ; main 

 vmns 2 lin. apart, all the veinlets joining ; sori minute. — Hk. Sp. 6. p. 2.
