NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF BORNEAN FERNS. 
By Edwin Bingham Copeland. 
( From the Bureau of Education, Manila, P. I.) 
Dr. F. W. Foxworthy of the Bureau of Science spent three months 
of the present year in Sarawak. In his collection are several very in- 
teresting ferns, while as a result of his visit, Mr. John Hewitt, curator 
of the Sarawak Museum, sent me a collection of ferns recently prepared 
by himself, Mr. C. J. Brooks, and Mr. H. S. Young. Beside the Tlymcno- 
phyllacece, which I have not yet had time to study, there are a few other 
novelties in this collection which are not described here. 
MACROGLOSSUM C'opel. genus novum. 
Maratt-iacea angiopteridea caudice globoso, frondihus pinnatis, pinnis 
simplicibus, maximis, venulis recurrentibus carentibus, soris ad marginem 
bullatam restrictis istam ejus laminam occupantibus, sporangiis quam in 
Angiopteride numerosioribus. 
Macroglossum Alidae C’opel. spec. nova. (Plate I.) 
Frons 3 m alta; rhachi straminea; pinna pulvinato-subsessile, subcor- 
data, ligulata, 40-55 cm. longa, 5-6.5 cm. lata, caudata, Integra, glabra, 
subcoriacea, supra atro-viride, infra olivaeea; venulis liberis, furcatis, 
proximis; soris 3-3.5 mm longis, sporangiis 18-22-jugis. 
Sarawak, Bau, on limestone, leg. H. S. Young. 
By Mr. Young’s request, this species has been named after Mrs. C. J. Brooks. 
Matonia Foxworthyi Copel. spec. nova. (Plate II.) 
Segmentis fere horizontalibus, reetis, linearibus, apicibus rotundatis, 
truncatis, vel retusis; soris utroque latere segmenti cujusque saepe 2 nec 
non rarius 3. 
Sarawak, Mount Poe (Rumput), alt. 1,700 m, Foxioorthy 372 (type), 373. 
Matonia pectinata R. Br., of Mount Ophir, Malacca, has the segments falcate 
and acute, leaving the costa of the pinnule at a much more acute angle, and 
narrowed from the base. The longer pinnules of M. Foxworthyi are above 40 cm 
long, the longest segments 35 mm. 1 know this Bornean plant only from Fox- 
worthy’s collection, and can not say whether the M. pectinata previously reported 
from Sarawak is really like the Mount Ophir plant, or is this species, but presume 
that the latter is the case.
