Monogramma dareaecarpa Hook. 
On tree-trunks in humid forests at 250 m. alt. (No. 5856). 
Also known from Negros in similar situations at 100 m. alt. 
PLEUROGRAMME Presl. 
Pleurogramme loheriana Christ in Bull. Herb. Boiss. II 6 (1906) 1006. 
On mossy trees in the ridge forest at 1,400 m. alt. (No. 5855). 
These specimens are rather more slender than those known from Luzon, and 
not forked. A stouter relative grows in Palawan and Mindanao. 
VITTARIA Smith. 
Vittaria amboinensis Fee. 
Epiphytic in the ridge forest at 1,100 m. alt. (No. 5865). 
Found also at the same altitude on Mount Mariveles.

Epiphytic at 1,800 m. alt. (No. 5864).

Vittaria sp. near V. elongata Sw. 
Pendent from mossy trunks at 1,400 m. alt. (No. 5860). 
Very similar to the preceding, but with the indusium thinner and not reaching 
the margin. 
Vittaria sp. near V. elongata Sw. 
Epiphytic in humid forests at 200 m. alt. (No. 5863). 
This is possibly true V. elongata; it differs from the plant to which I have 
given that name, most conspicuously in the very lax venation of the latter. 
Vittaria sp. near V. elongata Sw. 
Epiphytic in dense thickets at 175 m. alt. (No. 5862). A very large form 
previously collected near the base of Mount Halcon by Merrill (No. 4044) and
