<1 @) THE FERNS OF BORNEO. 
D. rigidum, Hk, (Syn. Fil. lviii. 3.) Borneo, by Thomas Lobb. 
Not seen by me. 
HEMIONITIS. (Gen. lix. Syn. Fil. p. 398.) 
H. Hosei, Baker Jour. Bot. 1891 p. 108 (1*.) Mt Matang, 
Sarawak. I have only found this once, and as far as I 
know it has not been collected by anyone else. The 
only other species of this Genus which belongs to this 
part of the world is H. lanceolata. Hooker, which has 
been found in New Guinea by Beccari. 
TRIBE XHI. ACROSTICHIA. 
ACROSTICHUM. (Gen-lx. Syn, Fil. p. 518.) 
S$ ELAPHOGLOSSUM. 
A. Beccarianum, Baker ; Beccari, Malesia ili. 27, and Baker, New 
Ferns Aun. Bot. Vol. v. 1891 (9*.) This is the Fern 
called by Cesati A. norrisii, in Fil. Becc. Born. p. 81. 
Kuching, Sarawak, 
§ STENOCHLGNA. 
A. (Stenoch.) sorbifolium, L. (Syn. Fil. Ix, 66.) Mt. Matang. 
N. Borneo by Burbidge. 
Distribution: Tropical regions all round the world. 
A peculiarity of this Fern, not uncommon in Borneo and 
the Malaya Peninsula, is alluded to by Col. Beddome in 
Ferns of British India p. 428. The lower part of the 
plant differs curiously from the upper part. For a dis- 
tance of two or three feet from the ground the rhizome 
is thin, almost threadlike, and bears short fronds with 
deeply pinnatifid pinne : it then swells out to the normal 
thickness of } in. or more, and bears sterile and fertile 
fronds of the usual form and size. 
A. (Stenoch.) scandens, J. Sm. (Syn. Fil. 1x, 68.) 
Common in Sarawak and N. Borneo. The young shoots 
are eaten.
