var. haitiensis n. var. 
Lamina ovate-lanceolate, long acuminated, 15 cm long, 6—8 cm broad at the 
middle, on a stalk up to 25 cm long, rather firm in texture. Indusia persistent, 
reniform, furnished with some long hairs.

Differs from the type mainly by its larger and decidedly deltoid lamina, by 
which character it resembles the following species, but by its light-green colour, 
soft texture, the glands of the under-surface and denser pubescence it must natur- 
ally be consociated with D. pubescens rather than with D. cherophylloides. Moreover 
the lower side of the generally considerably enlarged basal pinnz is only a little more 
developed than the upper side. Its distribution in the central Lesser Antilles, where 
neither D. pubescens type or D. chaerophylloides occur, might seem to indicate that 
it is a valid species, intermediate between the two others; a specimen from Jamaica 
(Hart 185), however, is nearly identical with specimens from Martinique and 
Guadeloupe.

Type from Porto Rico, not seen, but the original description agrees very 
well with the numerous specimens from that island seen.
