seen subtending the sorus, and these may be more evident in Presl’s specimen. 
The pinnae are decidedly auricled, and much more cut on the upper than on 
the lower side, in both of which respects, as well as in the hairiness of the veins, 
the stature, and the medial sori, it agrees with the description, but differs from 
our specimen of No. 251. 
Still another species very similar in external appearance is D. aoristisora 
(Harr.) C. Chr. In spite of the fact that the lower veins anastomose, I regard 
it as nearly related to the preceding. 
Dryopteris melanophlebia Copel. spec. nova. 
Species gregis D. canescentis (Bl.) C. Chr. rhizomate repente, stipi- 
tibus approximatis, frondium sterilium 2-3 cm, fertilium 4-10 cm altis, 
primo. setosis, glabrescentibus ; fronde parte terminale 4-5 cm longa, 
1-2 cm lata, obtusa, integra vel deorsum una-duabus lobata et infra 
earn utroque latere pinnis 1-3 rotundatis 2-4 mm longis sessilibns vel 
adnatis composita, coriaceo-papyracea, praeter costam deorsnm pilosam 
mox glabra; venis conspicuis, infra plerisque nigris, venulis plerumqne 
2 connexis; sons nndis, ad venulas plus minus elongatis, costularibus. 
Negros, Mt. Canlaon, alt. 900 m, Merrill 6959. 
In appearance, near D. simplicifolia, which has hairy indusia and sori remote 
from the main veins. D. canescens var. sub simplicifolia Christ has the lower 
pinnae not very reduced.

MONOGRAMMA Schkuhr. 
Monogramma capillaris Copel. spec. nova. 
Eumonogramma, rhizomate repente, 0.5 mm crasso, paleis atrocastaneis 
angustis 1 mm longis densissime obtecto; frondibus dense approximatis, 
stipite castaneo filiforme 15 mm longo incluso ca. 4 cm altis, 0. 5-1.0 
mm latis, prope apieem haud dilatatis; soris unilateralibus continuis 
versus marginem apertis. 
Negros, Mt. Canlaon, Merrill 6961. 
In appearance more like M. dereicarpa than M. trichoidea, which is much 
finer; differing from the former in the approximate fronds, which are longer 
and not widened near the apex. The sori may be more than 2 cm long. As a 
rare exception, a sorus appears on the other side of the costa or is indicated by a 
groove.
