P. Walleri, Maid. et Betche, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. xxxv. 
(1910) 799; Domin, Prodr. p. 170. A small tufted epiphytic 
fern, glabrous except the broad linear-lanceolate pale-brown 
scales at the base of the very short stipes. Fronds 1 to rarely 
2 in. long, the largest somewhat above 4 in. broad, lanceolate 
in outline, cut down nearly to the rhachis into erecto-patent 
entire or indistinctly lobulate blunt lobes with slightly recurved 
margins, the lower shortened gradually into the undulately 
winged short stipes, the upper ones shortened into an undulately 
lobed blunt point. Veinlets simple or forked, concealed amidst 
the almost herbaceous texture. Sori orbicular, superficial or 
very slightly sunk into the tissue, comparatively large, 3 to 4on 
the longest lobes, solitary on the short ones. 
Hab. : Herberton District, R. F. Waller. 
P. Luerssenianum, Domin, Prodr. p. 168. Very near 
P. cucullatum, Nees et B1., forming small dense tufts. Fronds 
fasciculate, subcoriaceo-carnosulose, sessile or subsessile, about 
14 in. long and about 2 lines broad, scarcely attenuated towards 
the apex, base narrow-cuneate, deeply pinnatilobed ; lobes. 
numerous ; sterile ones flat, linear or linear-oblong, very obtuse, 
quite entire ; fertile ones in the upper part of the frond, slightly 
shorter, much broader, broadly obovate, rotundate obtuse, 
margin subcucullate. The whole plant quite glabrous. 
Hab. : Bellenden-Ker, K. Domin. 
P. cucullatum, Nees et Bl. ; Domin, Prodr. p. 170. Stipites. 
densely tufted, very short, naked. Frond 3-5 in. long, 2-3 lines. 
broad, flaccid, pinnatifid throughout; lobes linear-oblong, 
blunt, entire, 4-3 line broad, the fertile ones confined to the 
upper part, broader and with the edges upeurved so as to clasp 
the large solitary sorus ; texture thick, subcoriaceous ; thachis 
naked or ciliated ; both sides naked.—Hook.-Bak., Syn. Fil.
