“Nearest N. moulmeinense, from which it differs in the subhispid, rough-pustu- 
lous surface” Copeland.

34. Dryopteris cuspidata (Blume) Meniscium cuspidatum Blume Fil. Jav. 
102. t. Jf5. 
Mindobo, Baeo River (168 McGregor) April-May, 1905. 
This is the typical form of Blume’ s species, of which I have identical material 
from Java, Tjipoes, leg. Raoiborski, and from Perak, leg. Hose, and differs from 
the plant of northern India ( Meniscium longifrons Wall. ) in its fleshy- papyraceous 
texture, opaque, the areolae less numerous (8 to 12, rarely more) more or less 
concealed under the membranous epidermis and not costellate and prominent. 
The proliferous shoots in the axils of the upper pinnae are also present in the 
Philippine plant, as indicated by Blume in the Javan form. 
Christensen in his Index Filicum unites this species, although with doubt, 
with Dryopteris urophylla ; however the proliferation in Blume’ s species, and the 
membranous epidermis covering and in part concealing the areolae sharply 
distinguishes D. cuspidata from D. urophylla. D. longifrons differs in having a 
very smooth shining surface, the areolae in strong relief, and in the form of its 
pinnae which are elongated and with their margins nearly parallel. In regard 
to the elongated sori, I have from Java a specimen with them nearly round. It 
goes without saying that diagnoses alone are of little value in indicating the 
differences in forms and the slight characters that distinguish these undivided 
species of Dryopteris ; characters that strike the eye on examination of specimens 
are often difficult to express in words in this and parallel cases. 
35. Dryopteris glandulosa (Blume) O. Ktze. Rev. Gen. PI. 2 (1891) 812. 
Aspidium glandulosum Blume Enum. (1828) 144. 
Luzon, Province of Rizal, Bosoboso (964 Ramos) July, 1906; Mabacal (Loher) 
March, 1906: Province of Bataan, Mount Mariveles (427 Topping) May, 1904. 
Leyte (298 Cuming). Mindanao, Province of Zamboanga (1718 Copeland). 
Differing from the two preceding by its short erect rhizome which is not 
creeping. The villosity is slightly glandular. 
Sunda Islands and eastern Malaya.
