112 Ferns of British India and Ceylon. 
on each side of the rachis (/. e. completely bipinnate), those of the 
upper margin little smaller than those of the lower. 
Khasya, 3,000 feet elevation. 
Mr. Clarke says it graduates into the type. 
Var. 77 Blumeana. Lateral pinnae with 50-60 segments, which 
are i inch long by ^ inch broad, equally wide throughout or broader 
at apex, not falcate, obtuse, rounded, entire or crenulate at the barren 
apex. A very large fern. Clarke, F. N. I. t. 55. 
Chittagong ; Tenasserim ; Singapore.

Var. 0 suBiNDiviSA. {Sp. Clarke.) Small, with only 3 pinnae, 
terminal one 6 inches long, with many segments, lateral pair hardly

Bhotan, Sikkim bed of the Teesta, 1,000 feet elevation. 
Mr. Clarke has constituted this a species in his work on the 
" Ferns of Northern India," but he now agrees that it is only a 
variety of quadriaurita. Clarke, F. Isf. I. t. ^6. 
(Mr: Clarke's variety major has arched veins and is Campteria 
biaurita.) 
11. Pteris Grevilleana. {Wall.) Dimorphic, barren stipe 
shorter, winged towards the apex ; barren frond pedately 5-fid, 
scarcely pinnate, margin spinulose-serrate ; fertile frond with 5 
pinnae, the lower pair bipartite, veins exceedingly obscure. Wall. 
Cat. 2,680. Agardh, Recc7is. Gen. Pter. 23. Clarke, t. 54. 
Sylhet, Cachar, Shapoor. 
Suspiciously like quadriaurita, except that the fi'onds are 
dimorphic. Mr. Clarke thinks it is more nearly allied to ensiformis. 
12. Pteris longipinnula. (Wall.) Stipes erect, naked, 2-3 
feet; fronds up to 3 feet long, and 18 inches broad, pinnate ; pinnae 
about 5 pairs, large, rather distant, deeply pinnatifid, segments entire, 
blunt, falcate, not distant, i\-2\ inches long, inch broad, apex
