PTERIS BROOKSI I sp. nov. 
Species gregis P. quadriauritae pinnis ovato-lanceolatis decur- 
rentibus anguste pectinatis; stipitibus usque ad 60 cm altis, 
stramineis, deorsum paleis paucis castaneis horizontalibus ves- 
tito, sursum minute furfuraceo, glabrescente ; fronde 40 cm alta, 
25 cm lata, pinnata cum pinna utroque latere infima furcata, 
rhachi sub manu molle sub lente minutissime asperula, strami- 
nea; pinnis usque ad 7 utroque latere, usque ad 16 cm longis, 
ca. 4 cm latis, cum cauda integra 2-3 cm longa 2 mm lata ter- 
minantibus, stipitatis cum stipite alato, fere ad costam superae

No. 96. “On rocks in deep shade.” 
Decidedly distinct from other forms in this very comprehensive group. 
MONOGRAMMA TRICHOIDEA -J. Sm.

Previously known from Negros.

Rhizomate breve, paleis fere nigris e base 1 mm lato ovato 
in setam angustissimam integram 7-8 mm longam angustatis

mm latis, usque ad rhizoma 2-3 mm latis, coriaceis, glabris, 
costa immersa; soro intramarginale, immerso; paraphysium ca- 
pitibus lineari-cyathiformibus ; sporis reniformibus. 
No. 183. 
So many species of Vittaria have been inadequately described that it is

PROSAPTIA SEMICRYPTA sp. nov. 
Rhizomate brevirepente ; stipitibus 1-2 cm altis, deorsum vel 
ubique nigris, minute pilosis; fronde 20-40 cm alta, usque ad 
8 cm lata, deorsum abrupte angustata, costa infeme pilis sparsis 
caducis ornata, aliter glabra nec enim ciliata, herbacea, ad alam 
0.5 mm latam pinnatifida; pinnis costam versus abrupte dila-
