THE FERNS OF BORNEO. 47 
L. cultrata, Swartz (Syn. Fil. xx. 7). The type is common. A 
form found on Mt. Matang agrees exactly with the de- 
scription of var B. L. japonica in Syn. Fil. Another form 
the upper edge of which is shallowly lobed is called var. 
L. Lobbiana. Hk. at Kew. 
Distribution (of type, ) Himalayas, Neilgherries, Malaya, 
Bourbon, Queensland Madagascar. - 
L. crispa, Baker in Jour. Bot. 1879. p. 39. In Ferns discovered 
or described since 1874 he adds Hook. Ic. tab. 1627. 
North Borneo, Mr. F. C. Burbidge. 
L. pectinata, Bl. (Syn. Fil. xx. 10) another name for Davaillia 
(Odontoloma) repens, Dew which see. 
L. scandens, Hk. (Syn. Fil. xx. 11.) Common. When mature it is 
bipinnate and quite undistinguishable from LZ. trapeziformis 
with which I believe it to be conspecific. It is entirely 
unlike £. pectinata in habit, texture and cutting: and I 
think it must be through some mistake that it is said in 
Syn. Fil. to be doubtfully distinct from this last. In 
young, but fruited forms, it is sometimes found with the 
pinnes almost imbricated and prettily variegated with 
white veins. 
L. flabellulata, Dry. (Syn. Fil. xx. 16.) Common in Sarawak. 
Distriiution: Malaya to §. China; N. India, Ceylon, 
Australia. 
var. <A fern sent to Kew from Mt. Matang, near the sum 
mit 13,000 ft, is said by Mr. Baker to be “a much divid- 
ed form of flabellulata.” I give a description of it as I 
_ am inclined to think it deserving of the honour of being 
reckoned as a Species. 
Rhizome short creeping, densely clothed with linear-lanceo- 
late brown scales which extend to the basis of the stipes. 
Stipes other wise naked, slender, chestnut-brown, 6 in. long, 
3-4 in, wide, simply pinnate in the upper part, fully 
quadripinnatifid in the lower. Ultimate divisions sub- 
orbicular-cuneate, rather deeply lobed } in, long. and as 
broad. Veins flabellate, once forked in each lobe. Sori
