COPELAND. 
10. A. obtusatum Forst. 
No. 120. 
Australia to Chile.' 
My specimen is insufficient for positive determination, but is accompanied by 
this name. The rachis is broadly winged. 
11. A. Lauterbachii Christ. (A. obtusilobum Hook, non Desv., A. oceanicum 
C. Chr.) 
No. 222, Goodenough Bay, altitude 1200 m.; No. 354, Lakekamu. 
Polynesia to Celebes. 
No. 354 has on the same plants typical fronds of A. Lauterbachii and of A.' 
oceanicum. This is an example of the not rare event that an author, believing 
he describes a new species, really gives the first valid name to one already long 
known. 
12. A. scandens J. Sm. 
No. 342, Lakekamu. 
Fiji to Luzon. 
STENOCHLAENA 5 J. Smith. 
1. S. palustris (Burm.) Bedd. 
No. 167, Ambasi. 
Polynesia to the Asiatic continent. 
2. S. Kingii Copel. 
Lomariopsis, caule 1 cm crasso, inerme, paleaceo ; stipite non artic-ulato, 
20 cm longo, paleaceo dein glabreseente ; pinnis frondis sterilis multi- 
jugis, ca. 16 cm longis, 20-22 mm latis, brevissime stipitatis, articulatis, 
basi cnneatis, acuminatis, crenulatis, coriaceis, glabris, siccis supra atrovi- 
ridibus, infra olivaceis ; pinnis fertilibns 20 cm longis, 2 mm latis, stipiti- • 
bus earum 5 mm longis, validis. 
No. 285. 
Nearest to L. recurvata Fee Mem. 2: pi. 28, but with longer and much stouter 
stalks of the fertile pinnae and without the peculiar episporium. Of species in 
the same part of the world, 8. Brackenridgii (Carr.) Underw. has sterile pinnae 
abruptly narrowed to long stalks, and 8. Novae-Caledoniae (Mett.) Underw. has 
broad fertile pinnae and sterile pinnae stalked and not acuminate. 
ARTHROPTERIS J. Smith. 
1. A. Kingii Copel. spec. nova. 
Rhizomate repente, 1 mm crasso, nigro, paleis deciduis ; stipitibus 
remotis, 3-5 cm altis, nigris, ca. 2 cm supra rhizoma articulatis ; fronde 
12-20 cm alta, 40-45 mm lata, acuminata, deorsum vix angustata; rhachi 
nigra, brevissime cinereo-puberula ; pinnis horizontalibus, sessilibus, arti- 
eulatis, subacutis, acroscopice aurieulatis, siccis nigrescentibus ; indusiis 
aliquantum persistentibus. 
No. 332, Lakekamu. 
Very distinct from other species of the genus, in the articulation hardly below 
the middle of the stipe. Dryopteris orientalis is like it in this respect.
