All our specimens are unfortunately without stipes ; but the fronds 

 themselves correspond to the figures given in the Species Filicum.

Dryander's figure of this, in the Linnaean Transactions, is tolerably 

 characteristic of our plant, particularly as regards the form and 

 direction of the pinnules; but the pinnae are delineated as more 

 numerous, distant, and spreading than in our specimens.

Although the fronds of this are very rigid, they are nevertheless 

 remarkable for the graceful falcate form of their pinnae, and the great 

 regularity in the size and form of the pinnules. 



The Expedition is indebted to Mr. Balestier, United States Consul 

 at Singapore, for specimens of this very handsome Fern.
