Mr, Wall has lately sent me fine specimens of the Ceylon laxa or Thwaitesii and it quite corresponds with one of our South 
India long flaccid forms of this variety of farinosa. | :

farinosa on the same root with rufa. 7

GENUS 27. PELLAA. Linx. 
Sori intramarginal terminal on the veins at first dot-like or decurrent on the veins but soon running into a line, involucre 
formed of the more or less changed edge of the frond, quite continuous, sometimes very narrow, veins free. 
The species now brought under this genus have appeared in this work under Cheilanthes Allosorus, Pteris and 
I now follow the Synopsis in bringing them all under this genus, nitidula is more properly a Cheilanthes as it has nota 
involucre. 
Platyloma, 
continuous 
Mr. Baker divides the genns into 3 subgenera (genera of some authors), Nos. 1 to 3 come under Cheiloplecton, Fee., distin- 
guished by the texture being herbaceous or only subcoriaceous, the veins being clearly visible and the involucre being broad. Nos. 4 
and 5 belong to Allosorus, Presl., distinguished by the texture being coriaceous, the veins not perceptible and the involucre broad: 
Nos. 6 and 7 belong to Platyloma, J. Sm., in which the texture is coriaceous, the veins hidden and the involucre so narrow that it ig. 
soon hidden by the fruit. .

3. Prttza TamBurit, Hook.—Stipe 6-9 inches long erect naked chesnut-brown polished, frond about 6 incheg 
each way deltoid with 3 principal pinne, the terminal one cut down nearly to the rachis into several broad. opposite lanceolate 
lobes, of which the upper ones are entire, and the lower ones larger and sinuated, lateral pinnz with the lobes on the upper side 
nearly entire, but those on the lower side prolonged and again deeply lobed, the largest entire divisions about 1 inch deep, 3 inch 
broad at the base, texture subcoriaceous, rachis polished brown like the stipe, under surface thinly coated with white farina, involucre 
brownish continuous but regularly crenated along the outer edges. Syn. Fil. 2nd edit., p. 146; Hook. Sp, Fil. 2, p. 134, 4 129 A,
