Clarke argues against Baker's dictum that this fern is not O. fragrcms of 
Swartz ; but all three authorities seem to agree that it is Polypodium frayrans 
of Linnmus. Beddome does not mention Webb, and Berth, in the matter, and 
there seems no doubt that there is here only one species. The Himalayan 
plant is exactly the same as a specimen I have from the Canary Islands, 
Teneriffe near Oratava, collected by my friend Mr. P. Neill Fraser, except that 
the latter seems to have white powder on the involucres.

This fern is not so rare as was thought up to 1880 and 1883, when Clarke’s 
and Beddome’s books v/ere published ; but Beddome says nothing more about 
it in his Suppl. of 1892. There is now no break in its known range from the 
Indus to Kumaun, unless for the Kangra Valley and the Jaunsar Hill-tract of 
the Dehra Hun District.
