Type of Merrenius from Brazil: Bahia, leg. Moricanp no. 2454 (not seen); 
the name Pol. Blanchetianum was applied to specimens from Bahia, leg. BLANCHET 
(B! RB!), which I here consider the type of the species. The same was collected 
by SELLtow (R) and by Martius no. 320 (B), both from Bahia (?). 
Differs from all Brazilian and andine species of this group by its lamina being 
softly villous on rachises and both surfaces with shorter and longer hairs intermixed, 
sporangia intermixed with long hairs. In size and shape of tertiary segments it closely 
resembles D. subincisa, but the coste beneath appear to be perfectly scaleless. All 
the specimens seen are very fragmentary. The basal scales are described by 
METTENIUs as rigid, blackish, shortly toothed, with darker edges. — The species seems 
to be rare and found only in North-east Brazil.

which a specimen in B! exactly agrees; Martius’ detailed description probably 
covers other allied species.
