ScHizoLOMA, Gaudichaud Freycinets, Voy. 378. 
(Pericoptis, Wall; Syucaphebium, J. Smith; (Synaphebium F6e) Diellia, Brackenridge.) 
Sori indusiato, linear or oblong, continuous or interrupted ; Beceptades sub-marginal. Indiismm membranaceous equalling or 
shorter than the margin of the frond, opening on the exterior side. Veins ecostate, or forked from a central costa ; Venules anastomosing 
j-n elongated oblique areoles, without free included veinlets, the marginal ones combined by the transverse receptacles. 
Fronds herbaceous, simple lobed or pinnate, or sometimes bi-pinnate ; pinnas or pinnules equal sided or dimidiate, fertile on the 
upper margin only or on both margins. Rhizome creeping.— ^T/ws genus differs from Lindsosa in its reticidated venation. (Moore.) 
1. Schizoloma ensifolium, J. Sm. Caudex very short creeping, stipes and rachis glabrous, stipe as long or longer than the 
])innated frond ; pinnse 3-13 linear-ensiform or lanceolate erecto-patent, sub-membranaceous, sori continuous round the whole margin 
except at the apex and base, sterile apex serrated— iwK^scea emifolia, Sw. Syn. Fil., p. 118, t, 137 ; Lindsoea lanceolata, Labill. 2}l. Nov.

2. Schizoloma heterophyllum, J. Sm. in Hook. Journ. Bot. Ill, 414. Fronds lanceolate or deltoid, pinnate with the pinnules 
pinnatifid or bi-pinnate, pinna3 or pinnules lanceolate or rhomboid-cuneate, or nearly orbicular, petiolate or sessile sub-coriaceous mem- 
branaceous opaque sori continuous. {Hook. Sj). Fil., 1, 223 ;) Lindscm heterophylla, Dryander. Linn. Trans, v. iii, 41 ; Lindscsa variabilts,

3. Schizoloma recxirvatum, (Moore.) Caudex creeping stipes and rachis pinkish colored longer than the frond tetragonous fronds 
simply pinnate or with 2-3 pinnate branches, pinnae oblongo-lanceolate recurved, pinnules oblong very obtuse sub-falcate the lower 
margin formed by the costa ; sori along the upper margin interrupted — Liiidscea 7'ecurvata, Wall, ; Lindsoea nitens, Blume. ; Lindscea 
serjiens, Wall. 
Bolampatty valley Coimbatore hills — rare. The pink colored stipes and rachis give this fern a very pretty appearance. (/ am 
not sure luhether I should not have referred this fern to the S. ohtusum {Syna2)liehium obtusum of J. Sm.) rather than to S- recurvatum.)

(Stegania, Brown; Lomaridium, Presl. ; Polygramma, Presl, ; Paralomaria, Fee-) 
Sori indusiate, linear, continuous, on a broadish linear receptacle, occupying nearly the whole under-surface of the contracted 
fertile fronds. Indusium attached at the margin, linear, continuous, scarious, opening along the inward side. Veins (sterile) simple 
or forked from a central costa, the vemUes direct free ; or (fertile) obsolete. 
Fronds simple pinnatifid pinnate or bi-pinnatifid ; the fertile contracted. Rhizome short thick erect or decumbent, rarely 
creeping or arborescent, (Moore.) 
1. Lomaria elongata, Blume. En. Fil. Jav. 11, p. 201. Caudex short subrepent, frond long stipitate coriaceous glabrous, often 
reddish colored when young, 1-2 feet and more long ovato-lanceolate pinnatifid (young sterile fronds often undivided lanceolate) segments 
few or many, of the sterile frond oblong-lanceolate acuminate sub-falcate patent, more or less approximate entire, except sometimes at the 
point, which is often slightly serrated, lowest segments often reduced to mere lobes. Veins simple forked, not reaching the margin but 
each furcation terminating in a large dot within the margin, fertile segments linear contracted, indusium fugacious. Hook. Sp- Fit.
