This is the so-called L. lanceolata of Japan, of which I have in hand 
specimens from Nippon and Quelpaert. It differs from real L. lanceolata 
in the paleae, in being more coriaceous, and most conspicuously in the 
sori. From L. malayana, it differs most notably in not being winged to the 
base; and the fronds are more scattered and more coriaceous. In texture 
it approaches L. involuta.

Blume’s description and plate in “Flora Javae” are complete and make 
a new diagnosis superfluous. L. lanceolata (Sw.) Presl is a plant described 
from Bourbon and found in East equatorial Africa. It is represented, 
for instance, by No. 9 of Rosenstock’s Filices Africae Orient. Germ., 
collected by Daubenberger on Kilimanjaro. Its sori are costal and much 
less spreading, and the frond is stipitate and has its broadest part 
farther from the apex. L. malayana is decidedly taller, broadest near the 
tip, then less acuminate, and winged nearly or quite down to the insertion 
on the rhizome. The sori are spreading, and imbricate when in full fruit, 
and may reach nearly to the margin. Mettenius (Polypodium No. 216) 
has described the Javan plant as Poly podium Loxo gramme, but that name 
must probably be held as fixed by his citations of synonymy and therefore 
as itself applying to the real L. lanceolata.
