Mindanao, Surigao (260 Bolster) ; Davao (699 Copeland) ; San Ramon (1572 
Copeland) . 
The same plant with simple leaves but with their bases cut into irregular 
pinnate segments has been called by Bory, Scolopendrium Durvillei (Kunze 
Schkuhr Suppl. Tab. 5.). 
Mindanao, Mount Batangan (14111 Warburg) .

The specimens agree well with the description of the species. The secondary 
leaves, which I presume belong with the specimens cited, but without being able 
to determine this point with certainty, differ from those of the preceding species 
in their linear, more elongated segments and with a tendency of the frond to 
become gradually larger and to present auricles at the anterior base of the 
pinnules, a point of union with Asplenium of the cuneatum group, conf. Verhandl. 
Schiveis. Nat. Forsch. Gesell. (1906) Tab. 6. The secondary leaves mentioned 
above are those of specimens from Mindanao (Warburg) , Luzon (Warburg) and 
North Celebes, Bojong (15321 Warburg). 
46. Stenochlaena arthropteroides Christ in Bull. Herb. Boiss. II. 6 (1906) 
998. 
Luzon, Province of Rizal, Montalban (Loher) January, 1906, a very similar 
form, but slightly larger from the Lamao River, Province of Bataan (85 Barnes). 
This species is distinguished by its very unequal and crenulate pinnae, one 
specimen with secondary leaves bearing also some adult leaves, which, although 
small, are strongly crenulate. The secondary leaves are rather large, 10 cm. 
long, 4 cm. wide, nearly sessile, tripinnatifid, the rachis reddish, flexuous, the 
pinnae ovate, obtuse, 2 cm. long, 1 cm. wide; the pinnules serrate, cut into linear 
segments which are obtuse, often bi- or tri-furcate, 2 mm. long, 0.5 to 1 mm. 
wide, the color very dark green.

152. 
Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, San Ramon (1749 Copeland), alt. 750 m. 
Judging from the above authentic specimen this is a very distinct species, 
characterized by the cartilaginous borders of the adult pinnae.

Himalaya and Samoa. 
49. Stenochlaena sp. 
This is the plant described by me in Bull. Herb. Boiss. II. 6 (1906) 997, and 
which approaches 8. Milnei Underw. ex descr., but which it is impossible for me 
to identify specifically because fertile fronds are lacking.

This species, found by Cuming, is cited by Copeland in his Polypodiaceae of 
the Philippines 54, without exact locality. It appears to be rare. I have 
specimens from Montalban, Province of Rizal, Luzon, collected by Loher in 
March, 1906, that agree exactly with Hooker’s figure, except that Loher’s 
specimens are smaller, and have bi- to tri-pinnatifid fronds instead of tri- to 
quadri-pinnatifid ones.
