represented by several species living either as epiphytes in 

 more or less shaded localities or as kremnophytes. 



An epiphytic species of this genus was collected at an 

 altitude of 700 m. 



9 (60). Odontosoria chinensis / Sm. 



Kremnophytic fern with a short creeping rhizome, spread 

 throughout Java between 600 and 1800 m. above sea-level, 

 especially on steep banks and on sides of hollow roads. 

 The reproduction is effected by spores. 



Collected at an altitude of 400 m. on steep slopes in the 

 forest. ,,/Vo real forest plant" (D. v. L). 



10 (50). Diplazium polypodioides Bl. (= D. asperum Bl., under 



which name the plant is recorded in the paper of Mr. 



Docters van Leeuwen). 



Robust terrestrial fern with a thick erect rhizome, occurring 

 throughout Java, except in regions where the east-monsoon 

 is strong, from the plains up to + 2200 m. above sea-level 

 in shadowed not too dry localities, often in forests, secon- 

 dary as well as primary ones, on forest-borders, furthermore 

 on well-shadowed road-sides, along water-courses, in hedges 

 and thickets. The reproduction is effected by spores. 



Collected at an altitude of 500 m. 



// (47). Aspienium nidus L. See 5 herebefore. 



According to the Dutch text collected at an altitude of 

 100 m.; according to the English text from to 90 m. 



12 (46). Blechnum orientals L. See p. 55, No. 3. 



As appears from the Dutch text collected in the lower 

 parts of the island. The English text adds: ,,/Vo real forest- 

 plant (Treub 1886)"; the Dutch text (translated): ,,Treub 

 1 886, P e n z i g 1 897, the forest did not yet exist then". 



13 (44). Antrophyum sp. i ). 



Several species of this genus inhabit the moister regions 

 of Java. They grow in densely shadowed, not too dry locali- 

 ties either as epiphytes on tree-trunks or as kremnophytes 

 on steep rock-sides. The reproduction is effected by spores. 



J ) In Appendix I to the Dutch text it is said that the species found was either 

 A. call/folium Bl. or A. semicostatum Bl.
