Sikkim (Kupait) 9,000 feet elevation collected by Mr. Atkinson. A few of the sori are really double their apices being 
separate, many others that appear so are on closer examination only very narrowly hippocreptform, the apex bent round and the inner } 
margins lying back to back. Serns British Indva, tab. 360. :

I have several species of Athyrium from the Himalayas which neither Mr. Baker nor I could satisfactorily determine, one 
may be an exceedingly compound and much cut variety of macrocarpum and another a very compound form of oxyphyllum, the genus 
is a very difficult one, and the limits of the species cannot possibly be determined from dried specimens ; a very careful examination of 
the living plants at their different elevations and localities being absolutely necessary. Baker has described in his new edition of; the 
Synopsis, p. 498, a very common form of Athyrium macrocarpum as Lastrea Sparsa, var. membranacea ; his Athyrium macrocarpum, 
var, Atkinsoni (Clarke), p- 489, is also an ordinary dwarf form of the plant and not.a distinct variety, :
