51. Davallia vestita Blume Enum. (1828) 233. 
Luzon, Province of Pampanga, Mount Arayat (3878 Merrill ) May, 1904: 
Province of Tayabas, Mount Banajao ( Loiher ) February, 1906. Negros, Mount 
Silay (1516 Whitford) May, 1906. 
This species does not seem to be rare in the Philippines. The specimens are 
less scaly than those of Java and Celebes. 
52. Davallia pusilla Mett. Ann. Sc. Nat. IV. 15 (1861) 79. 
Mindanao, Province of Zamboanga, San Ramon (1665 Copeland) 1903. 
Copeland 11 has identified this number as Humata parvula J. Sm., but my 
specimen agrees exactly with specimens of Davallia pusilla from New Caledonia 
leg. Franc. 
MICROLEPIA Presl. 
53. Microlepia Sablanensis n. sp. 
Tripinnata, amp la, rhachi opaca fulvostraminea, brevissime et molliter 
puberula, pinnis 35 cm. et ultra longis, 9 cm. latis, elongato-eauclatis, 
breviter petiolatis basi vix abbreviate, pinnulis pectinato-confertis nume- 
rosis (40 et ultra utrinque) recte patentibus, fere sessilibus, acuminatis, 
basi inaequali, segmento infimo anteriore aucto, libero, ad rhachim ad- 
presso,. ad rhachim incisis, segmentis ca. 20 utrinque confertis angulo 
angusto separatis oblongis, obtusis, 0.5 cm. longis, 2.5 mm. latis, inae- 
qualibus, postiee subintegris cuneatis, antice truncatis, crenatis, lobulis 
plerumque 3 minutis, nervis manifestis, ' in lobulis bi- aut tri-furcatis, 
soris minutis, 2 aut 3 plerumque antice in sinubus lobulorum positis, 
globosis, indusio inconspicuo semicupuliformi tenuissimo. Textura her- 
bacea, costis nervisque subtus pilosis, facie superiore laevi, sed opaca, 
colore obscure viridi. 
Luzon, Province of Benguet, Sablan (6231 Elmer) April, 1904. 
Differing from Microlepia speluncae (L.) Moore in its larger fronds, finer 
pubescence, the pinnules more numerous, the segments smaller, less unequal and 
the denticulations finer. 
DENNSTAEDTIA Bernh, 
54. Dennstaedtia Smithii (Hook.) Moore Index. 308. 
Luzon, Province of Bataan, Mount Mariveles (1133 Whitford ) March, 1904: 
Province of Rizal (91 Foxworthy) January, 1906. 
The specimens cited above agree exactly with the figure given by Hooker, 12 but a 
species very close to this, recently described by Copeland, seems to be more common 
and widely distributed. It is larger, more pubescent, and with the basal pinnule 
of the III order anteriorly very much augmented. It is : 
55. Dennstaedtia Williamsi Copel. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 1 (1906) Suppl. 
148, of which I had prepared the following diagnosis before learning that Copeland 
had already described the species. 
Amplissima, quadripinnatifida, stipite 2 m. alto, 2.5 cm. diametro, 
tereti, rufo-testaceo, dense cum rhachi pilis strigosis ■patentibus 2.5 mm. 
longis fulvis tomentoso postea glabrata, frondibus 2 m. altis, fasciculatis
