a single specimen under cover of .1. salicifolium, in the Gray Herbarium, 

 Pendler's do. 326, Prom Tovar, Venezuela, accords well with Kaulfuss' descrip- 

 tion "i* L. oligophyllum, and this number is so referred by Hooker in his de- 

 scription of the species. The margins arc correctly said to be "obscurely ere* 

 Date-serrate." The broad pinna- and oumerous son are characteristic. 

 Two Brazilian Bpecies, Asplenium escragnollei Fee* and 1. camptocarpum 

 referred here by Christensen, appear from Fee's excellenl Illustrations 

 entitled to recognition. The former especially seems very different and to be 

 allied rather to the Colombian A. ocaniense Karst..' known to the writer from 

 a specimen collected by II. Pittier < no. 7< |s i In the western Cordillera, state of 

 Cauca, Colombia, 1 December, 1905.

a species with a few entire pinna?, figured by Fee, with do mention of the 

 characters offered by rhizome and chaff. Apparently in its few Bori a near ally 

 of 1. integerrimum Spreng., bul quite remarkable, as noted by Fee, in the great 

 length of the Feins which are borne at a very acute angle to the midveln.

A peculiar form, well Illustrated by Dr. Christ and supposed by him to be 

 common in southern Brazil. It has no near alliance with the true salicifolium, 

 !»nt is apparently allied t<» 1. oligophyllum. From this it is easily distinct. 

 obviously in its more oumerous, smaller, and gradually reduced upper pinna? 

 which give rise t«» an enlarged terminal Segment (instead «.f a conform termi- 

 nal pinna 1. in its fewer more spaced Bori, and especially in its hipinnntilid 

 form witli corresponding modification in position of sori indicated by Dr. 

 Christ. 



Tl riginal material has not been seen by the writer, to whom it is known 



only from specimens recently sent by Dr. RosenstOCk under no. 296, these from 

 the Serra do Mar, stale of Sao Paulo, Brazil. 



The form from Apiahy listed by Dr. Christ as true salicifolium is. judging 

 from description, referable to 1. oligophyllum Kaulf.
