var. glandulosa C. Chr. et Ros. Fedde, Repert. 13: 473. 1913. 
Differs from the former variety by its underside being glandulose by minute, 
glistening glands, a character not observed before in this subgenus.

221. D. straminea (Bak.) C. Chr. — To this species I refer 
Polypodium trinidadense Jenm. Gard. Chr. III. 18: 235. 1895. Dryopleris rinidax 
densis C. Chr. Ind. 298. 1905; Amer. Fern Journ. 4: 81. 
JENMAN’S species was collected in Trinidad: Maiacas Falls, by J. H. Harr, 
Bot. gard. Herb. Trinidad nr. 5886 (Kew!). The single, rather imperfect specimen 
in most characters: size, colour, perfect glabrous frond, stramineous coste, shape 
of pinnz, thickened margins, sori, kind of venation, fully agrees with the type spe- 
cimen of D. straminea. It differs from it in its acute or even submucronulate teeth, 
the serrated apex of the pinnz, the non-gemmiferous rachis (an accidental character) 
and by having only 2 or 3 pairs of lateral veins. I consider these differences of little 
importance. The occurrence of a Venezuelan species in Trinidad is not surprising. 
Both D. straminea and D. trinidadensis is described after a single leaf, and from such 
scanty material it is impossible to decide whether the two proposed species are 
really identical.

Subgenus VI. Meniscium (Schreber). 
I have above (pag. 14) enumerated 13 American species of Meniscium, which

however, 
are not critically examined as are the Species of the other subgenera. Be-
