Polypodium lagunense Christ. 
Epiphytic on exposed ridges 1,400 to 1,800 m. alt. (No. 5984, 5985). 
This species is already known from Mount Maquiling, Luzon, and from Mount 
Silay, Negros (Whitford 1535). As a matter of affinity it unquestionably 
belongs in the Grypsinus group, the usual classification of “Phymatodes” accord- 
ing to the composition 'of the frond being in this case as unnatural as possible. 
The pinnae of Polypodium lagunense resemble the whole simple frond of P. num- 
mularium, the distinction of sterile and fertile parts being the same in both 
species. The simply pinnate frond form of P. lagunense is not yet quite stable, 
for Merrill found two plants (No. 5984) with large bipinnate fronds. 
Polypodium accedens Bl. 
Epiphytic in humid thickets at 150 m. alt. (No. 5992), typical form; and 
on rocks along the Alag River at 350 m. alt. (No. 5993). 
Malaya and Polynesia. 
The plants collected at an altitude of 350 m. are rather larger than is 
usual in this species. Some fronds are typical in form and fertile only at the 
constricted apex; others are narrower and fertile almost throughout, while 
entirely sterile ones are notably broad. This variation is in the direction of 
P. nummularium and P. Wliitfordi, indicating the probability that both have 
descended from P. accedens in this locality. 
Polypodium punctatum (L.) Sw. 
On rocks along the Alag River at 350 m. alt. ( No. 5991 ) ; dried fronds reddish 
in color. 
Africa to Polynesia. 
Polypodium monstrosum Copel. var. integriore Copel. in Elmer’s Leaflets 1 
(1906) 78. 
On mossy trees at 1,950 m. alt. (No. 6104). 
Previously known only from Luzon. 
Polypodium validum Copel. 
On prostrate logs in forests at 100 m. alt. (No. 5868). 
Common in Mindanao. 
Polypodium (Selliguea) macrophyllum (Bl.) Reinw. 
On rocks in wet ravines at 150 m. alt. (No. 5990). 
China to New Guinea. 
Polypodium (Selliguea) calophlebium Copel. n. sp. (PI. Ill, Fig. A.) 
Rhizomate ad arbores museosos late repente, 2-3 mm. crasso, paleis 
squarrosis fulvo-ferrugineis 3 mm. longis late lanceolatis basibus peltatis 
castaneis vestito; stipitibus erectis, glabris, frondium sterilium 3-6 cm. 
frondium fertilium 7-10 cm. altis ; fronde sterile ovata, ca. 14 cm. longa, 
5 cm. lata, valde acuminata, base rotunda, margine brunnea dura coriacea 
glaberrima, supra (sicca) umbrina, infra olivacea ; venis primariis validis, 
rectis, marginem attingentibus, venulis infra occultis, supra reticulatio- 
nem praestantem laxam pulchram efficientibus ; fronde fertile lineare, ca. 
16 cm. longa, 7-11 mm. lata, longe sursum attenuata, basi acuta, integra 
vel crenulata, soris saepius utroque latere costae nigrae uniseriatis, vel 
biseriatis at inter venas primarias saepe confluentibus.
