1 66 Baker —On the Vascular Cryptogamia 
and notes give a much better idea of the plant than we had 
before, and I feel little doubt now that it is a good species, 
and give therefore a revised description. Caudex erect, reach- 
ing sometimes a foot in length, 6-8 in. diam. Stipe sometimes 
6 ft. long, 2 1 in diam. at the base. Frond deltoid, 5-6 ft. 
long and broad, composed of five primary bipinnate divisions, 
an end one and two side ones forked low down ; final pinnae 
lanceolate nearly a foot long, 3-4 in. broad, cut down to 
a narrowly winged rachis into contiguous lanceolate entire 
final segments in. broad ; texture moderately firm ; both 
surfaces glabrous ; veins anastomosing copiously. Sorus 
narrow ; indusium narrow, glabrous. It is mentioned as a 
doubtful species under P. Kunzeana in our Synopsis Filicum, 
and the name is misprinted longibracteata .

fine series of forms and varieties of this large bipinnate species, 
which is spread throughout tropical America. It is very 
difficult to form an idea of the specific limits of these huge 
tropical types from herbarium specimens, and perhaps more 
than one species is covered by the set of numbers.
