SPICILIGIUM FILICUM PHILIPPINENSIUM. 
183 
yellowish rhachis which is very rough with small spines, small whitish costular 
scales, and the basal segments free, remote and narrowed below, but it is readily 
distinguishable from the type by its shorter narrower segments which are more 
falcate and more strongly serrate. The pinnules do not exceed 8 cm. in length. 
In general appearance quite different from the type, but having the same essential 
characters. It appears to be an alpine form of the species.

94. Alsophila latebrosa (Wall.) Hook. Sp. Fil. 1: 37. 
The ordinary form of this species so common in India, the Malayan Peninsula, 
Java, Borneo, Celebes and Amboina (herb. Christ), is not known to me from the 
Philippines, where the species is represented by a form notably larger. It is 
the same as with Alsophila contaminants, which is represented in the Philippines 
by the large variety Celebica.
