LOMAGRAMMA J. Sm. 
Lomagramma pteroides J. Sm. 
Humid river forests at 150 m. alt. (No. 5854) “climbing 2 to 5 m. on tree- 
trunks, very abundant but rare in fruit.” Also collected on the Baco River, 
near the base of Mount Halcon by McGregor (No. 235) and in Luzon by Cuming. 
In view of the positive statement of Preslf and of the evident distinctness 
of the plant he there described from the one we have, I can not believe that 
Leptochilus lomarioides Bl., is indentical with Lomagramma pteroides J. Sm. 
I am treating this plant as L. pteroides on an assumption based on geographical 
contiguity. I have another Lomagramma from Mindanao and Palawan, more 
coriaceous, more scaly and becoming red as it dries. 
ELAPHOGLOSSUM Schott. 
Elaphoglossum decurrens (Desv.) Moore. 
On trunks in the ridge forest at 100 to 1,000 m. alt. (No. 5853). 
Differs from the Javan plant as figured by Blume 0 only in being more acute. 
The margin is cartilaginous and glabrous. 
Also known from Luzon. 
Java. 
PLATYCER I U M Desv. 
Platycerium coronarium (Koenig.) Desv. (P. biforme Bl.) 
Epiphytic in forests at 350 m. alt. (No. 6037). 
Luzon, Negros, Masbate and Mindanao. 
India, Malaya. 
HYMEN OPH YLLACEiE. 
TRICHOMANES Linn. 
Trichomanes nitidum V. d. B. 
On mossy trees at 900 m. alt. (No. 6067.) 
Also known from Luzon, Baguio (Elmer 6023) det. Christ. 
Java. 
Trichomanes bimarginatum V. d. B. 
On tree trunks in humid forests at 220 m. alt. (No. 6066). 
India to Polynesia and Formosa. 
Trichomanes pyxidiferum Linn. 
On boulders along the Alag River at 150 m. alt. typical plants (No. 6064, 
6065) and a very narrow form (No. 6063) . 
Common in the Philippines. 
Pantropic. 
Trichomanes sp. near T. proliferum Bl. 
, Narrower than Blume’ s species, the fertile and sterile fronds or parts of 
fronds distinct, the former very contracted and tall, each pinna usually consisting 
of one sorus and its stalk. 
On damp ledges by streams at 350 in. alt. (No. 6062).
