Clarke says this plant differs very little, in his opinion, from L. flexuosum , 
and Beddome that it is probably only a form of L. flexuosum. Why not vice 
versa ? I see marked differences, and do not see the probability suggested. 
The rhizome is distinctly creeping, though perhaps slowly, and branching ; 
I have not seen L. pinnatifidum with that habit. 
[ ANGIOPTER1S evecta , Hoffm. In the Saharanpur Herbarium are 
two specimens of this, contributed by Dr. King, one of which is 
ticketed “ Hindu Koh,” and the other, from the Dalzel Herbarium, 
“ Lahore ” ; but I think it best not to give this, as a N.-W. Indian 
species. In the 4 Synopsis ’ is noted, under Angioptens , Psilodochea 
salicifolia , Presl., as “ an entirely obscure plant, supposed to have been 
gathered in Lahore, said to be like Angiopteris, but without an 
involucre.” I do not understand Beddome’s entry — “Through- 
out the Indian region up to 7000' elevation.” Clarke only 
says— 44 Round Bengal, alt. 0-70Q0', from Nepal to Bhotan and
