Ophioglossum INTERMEDIUM, Hook. 
Frondibus erectis membranaceis reticulatis elongato-lineari- 
spatkulatis in petiolum longiusculum sensim attenuates 
indivisis, pedunculo spicam asquante apicem versus frondis 
medio affixo. 
Hab. Borneo, near Sarawak, Mr. Thos. Lobb. 
My only specimen of this Ophioglossum is that here re- 
presented, where three fronds arise from one small but some- 
what tuberous root, and the plant seems to be terrestrial and 
to grow erect. Were it an epiphyte and a pendent frond, the 
species might be supposed to be a form of the O. pendulum 
(see Hook, et Grev. Ic. Fil. Tab. 19) ; but here is no disposition 
in the frond to be dichotomous; and the narrow stipes of 
our present plant, the elongated peduncle and the situation 
of the peduncle (itself as long as the spike) forbid such a 
supposition. The membranaceous texture is in favour of its 
being the same as O. pendulum ; and it may be considered to 
hold an intermediate rank, between the terrestrial erect and 
the epiphytal pendent species.
