The other specimens cited here from our own herbarium are identical 
with Cuming’s No. 4 of which our specimens are sterile. The fertile 
frond is sometimes almost as ample as the sterile, but more often is 
strongly contracted; Mettenius, Aspidium No. 287, says “Folia ...... 
subdifformia.” In spite of my declaration in this Journal, I Suppl. 
(1906) 145, that the plant is without indusia, I must now state that on 
immature fronds they can often be seen, and are irregular in form.

Merrill’s specimens fit Hooker’s description perfectly except that the 
bases of the pinnae, while broad asnd unequal, are not cuneate. The 
peculiar venation distinguishes this from any other. Philippine fern. 
8. Tectaria Menyanthidis (Presl) Copel. nom. nov.

Luzon, Cuming 183 ; Mindanao, Surigao, Bolster 263. 
Cuming’s plant in Herb. Bureau of Science is labeled Aspidium 
repandum in Smith’s writing, of which we have abundant specimens (Cf. 
Presl. Epim. Bot. p. 523). Instead of being, as stated by Hooker, Sp. 
Fil. 4 : 58. too near A. pachyphyllum, this species is closely related to 
T. polymorpha and T. irrigua, from which it is distinguished by the 
long, narrow pinnae and more persistent indusia. We have fertile fronds 
which are simple, trifoliate, and with 3 pairs of lateral pinnae.
