Polybotrya appendiculata and 
NOTES ON THE NOMENCLATURE. 
P. aspleniifolia, are considered as varieties of one and the same Species, and are included under 
| the former name by the authors of the Synopsis Filicum. 
The fern figured as Pcecilopteris contaminans, Wall., (Pl. 0011: Ferns of Southern India) is, I believe, Wallich's plant, but is 
also probably the same as P. semicordata, Moore, (Pl. CCLXX. Ferns of British India.) 
Pœcilopteris terminans, Wall., and P. costata, and its varieties, are all placed under P. virens in the Syn. Fil. 
Lomaria elongata = L. Pattersoni, Spreng. in the Syn. Fil. ۱ 
Gymnopteris Feei comes unde 
species, and perhaps also G. minus. 
r G. lanceolata, Hook. It is probable that G. Feei, axillaris and variabilis are all forms of one 
Lindsza Lobbiana is considered only a form of L. cultrata. 
Schizoloma Griffithianum is considered only a form of S. ensifolium. 
. Pl, CCIX. of Ferns of British 
India is described in the Synopsis as Lindsæa, Parishii, but in the addenda, it is stated that it is 
probably an abnormal form of Lomariopsis sorbifolia. 
` Adiantum Edgeworthii and soboliferum are both placed under A. caudatum. 
Cheilanthes myriophylla, given in the Synopsis as a native of the N ilgiris, is, I believe, only introduced. 
Pteris Otaria is considered an 
abnormal form of P. quadriaurita. 
- Diplazium decurrens, Bedd., is placed under D. maximum, Don. 
Diplazium asperum and D. po 
lypodioides are considered forms of the same species under the latter name. 
Diplazium assimile, and D, Jerdoni, are also both considered as forms only of D. polypodioides. 
It is very probable that all the Antrophyums are forms of one variable species. 
Gymnogramma Javanica and serrulata are considered to be forms of the same species. 
Polypodium ornatum, Wall., is included under L, setigera ; they are however very distinct species. 
Goniophlebium argutum, Wa 
ll., is included under G. subauriculatum, ۰ 
Pleopeltis longissima. I have never met with this species if distinct from P. nigrescens, all the S. Indian and Ceylon forms 
clearly belong to nigrescens. | 
Drynaria mollis, Zedd., is D. rivalis, Mett. MSS., of Synopsis Fil. ; but the former name is the older of the two. 
Cyrtomium caryotidium, Presl., is considered as only a form of C. falcatum. 
Polystichum aculeatum and angulare are considered forms of one Species. 
Polystichum cæspitosum, Wall., is considered a form of P. auriculatum, Sw. 
Sagenia coadunata is placed u 
nder S. cicutaria, 
Nephrodium lineatum is placed under N. glandulosum. 
Nephrodium propinquum bec 
long established. 
omes N. unitum, and N, unitum becomes N. cucullatum, Baker ; the older names are however 
Lastrea aristata and L. coniifolia are considered as one and the same, 
Lastrea calcarata and falciloba 
are also considered as one and the same. 
Lastrea cochleata, elongata, patentissima and odontoloma are all considered as forms of L, Filix-mas. 
Lastrea octhodes and tylodes are united under the name of L. prolixa, Baker. 
Trichomanes plicatum and insigne are included under T. Filicula. 
Hymenophylum Blumeanum is included under H. polyanthos. 
Anemia Wightiana is included under A. tomentosa.
