No. 208, Goodenough Bay, on dry banks of creeks. 
This species is considerably more dissected than D. ludens ever is. It is very 
near the American D. pedata (L.), but larger and less coriaceous than any of 
my specimens of that variable fern; and I have never seen D. pedata with the 
basal segments so much cut on the lower side while the upper remained entire. 
The genus is new to New Guinea, the nearest occurrence hitherto known being 
in Hawaii, South America, and the Philippines.
