COPELAND. 
Los Banos, La Laguna, Luzon, Copeland 2087 ; Gimagon River, Negros, 
Whitford 1597. 
My collection is from the type locality of L. rizalia.nus, Los Banos being at 
the foot of Maquiling, but neither of them in Rizal Province. We have, more- 
over, Christ’s determination of Whitford’s plant as L. rizalianus. I can not 
see that this plant differs in any detail from Dendroglossa normalis Presl. The 
L. minor Fee reported from the Philippines may also be assumed to be this 
plant, being the same collection, Cuming 326, which is the type of this species. 
The L. minor of India and L. normalis must be very closely related. Both are 
very near L. lanceolatus Fee, of which L. normalis is possibly a variety produced 
by the environment; but they seem to me to remain distinct when growing near 
together. 
LOMAGRAMMA J. Sm. 
Lomagramma pteroides J. Sm. var. subcoriacea Copel. var. nova. 
Pinnis frondis sterilis subcoriaceis, siccis rubidis, venulis e facie inf era 
praestantibus. 
Mindanao, San Ramon, Copeland 1736 ; Camp Keithley, Clemens s. n. Para- 
gua, Merrill 7S0. 
I have long regarded this plant of the southern islands as a distinct sjiecies. 
But single specimens collected by Mrs. Clemens seem to represent still others; 
and different collections of Lomagramma from Luzon and Mindoro vary notably, 
though each collection is very uniform. More collections are needed before it 
is possible to decide whether we have a considerable number of species, or a 
single very variable one. 
Lomagramma articulata (J. Sm.) Copel. comb. nov. {Polybotrya J. Sm. Journ. 
of Bot. 3 (1871) 401). 
Leyte, Cuming; Camp Keithley, Mindanao, Clemens 1073. 
This plant is not Polybotrya. It is Arthrobotrya J. Sm. 1875, non Arthro- 
botrys Wall. 1828. It is congeneric with “P.” Wilkesiana and “P.” polyphylla. 
A separate genus might be established for these plants ; but they are very 
closely related to Lomagramma and I think it better to include them in it. L. 
polyphylla Brack, was originally described in its most proper genus. 
L. Wilkesiana {Polybotrya Brack., Wilkes Expl. Exped. 10 (1854) 80) stands 
between L. polyphylla and L. articulata. 
OLEANDRA Cav. 
Oieandra colubrina (Blanco) Copel. 
This species extends as far as Java, from which island we have almost typical 
specimens, it is 0. neriiformis var. /3, brachypus of Hooker, Species Filicum, 
IV, 156, distinguished by having the articulation close to the base of the frond, 
leaving a pedicel much longer than the stipe. I suspect that it will eventually 
seem desirable to distinguish several species having this character, two of which 
are here described as varieties. In the localities where they occur, these varieties 
are well defined and apparently very stable. There has been much confusion 
among older species of Oieandra, as is illustrated by one of our sheets of 
Cuming 94, labeled 0. neriiformis, on which 3 thoroughly distinct species are 
combined. Presl had a similar experience with Cuming’s Oieandra. 
O. colubrina var. membranacea Copeland, var. nova. 
Pedicello 2-6 mm. alto, stipite 0-0.5 mm. ; fronde ca. 20 cm. longa, 
25 mm. lata, angustissime eaudata, pubescente, ciliata, membranacea : 
soris vix 1 mm. latis, in seriem irregularem a margine costaqne aequidis- 
tantem instructis.
