The following variety is probably a form from more exposed localities; no doubt 
it is not specifically different.

Polypodium vestitum Hook. sp. 4: 271. 1862 (non alior.). 
Dryopteris subincisa *vestita C. Chr. Ind. 296. 1905 (the name vestita has been 
used for several other dryopteroid ferns and it seems appropriate to use 
another name here). 
Smaller than the type and more firm in texture, often coriaceous. Scales of 
stipe, rachis and coste beneath more numerous, and all vascular parts beneath 
with several, often many, long, subulate, whitish hairs intermixed with shorter hairs.

As mentioned in the first part of this monograph this species must naturally 
be consociated with the other long hairy species of the present group; it is scarcely 
more than bipinnate and apparently scaleless, but its long pluricellular hairs are of 
the same structure as those of the following species. — Ecuador.
