Hab. In clefts of rocks and on old trees, on the lofty moun- 
tains of Java, Blume. Trunks of trees, near Tatanara, 
Peru, Lechler. 
The only localities known of this elegant and rare species 
of Polypodium , are the high mountains of Java, and those of 
the P eruvian Andes. I possess, indeed, only Peruvian speci- 
mens ; but they quite accord with Blume’s figure.
