Syn. Nephrodium luridum Jenman ms. 
Type from Jamaica, leg. JENMAN (cotype in W)). 
Well described: and illustrated by Miss Stosson. It differs from D. pubescens 
by its larger, deltoid lamina (on a very long stipe) with the lower side of the basal 
pinne much produced, from D. cherophylloides by its light-green colour, rather 
herbaceous texture and glandular under-surface, from both by its more dissected 
lamina, which is nearly 4-pinnate below, at least 3-pinnate at the middle, and by 
its persistent indusia. The rhizome is thicker with the stipites close, sometimes 
fasciculated. In pubescence it agrees with D. pubescens. Pinnules and segments 
subacute.

f, leucochaete (Slosson). — Dryopteris leucochaete Slosson, Bull. Torr. Cl. 40:

I cannot agree with Miss SLosson 
in considering this form specifically dif- 
ferent from D. lurida. The scales of the 
rhizome are paler and thinner, and the 
indusia is hairy, but the scales are vari- 
able in colour and I find, although rarely, 
some few hairs on the indusia of true 
D. lurida.
