Genus 41*. Triphlebia, Baker . 
Differs from Scolopendrium and agrees with Diplora in having 
a prominent receptacle running down the centre of the sorus. 
Here it arises from a sort of adventitious vein, not always 
produced beyond the sorus, but in Diplora the receptacle runs 
along the proper vein, and the two valves of the indusium do 
not spring from veins. 
Four species are known, as follows : — 
1. T. pinnata, Baker, in Malesia, III, 41 : Hook. Ic. t. 1652 = 
Scolopendrium pinnatum , J. Sm. Philippines, Cuming , 137, 31 1. 
2 . T. longifoBa, Baker, 1 . c. = Scolopendrium longifolium , Presl. 
Rel. Haenk. I, 48, t. 9, fig. 1. Philippines, Haenke. Sarawak, 
Borneo, Dr. Hose. 
3 . T. Linza, Baker, in Malesia, III, 42, t. 5 — Asplenium Linza 
Cesati, Fil. Bee. Polyn. 4. New Guinea, Beccari . 
4 . T. dimorphophylla, Baker, in Malesia, III, 42, t. 4= Asplenium 
subserratum, Cesati, non Blume. Island of Andai, North of 
New Guinea, Beccari. 
Asplenium scolopendropsis, F. M. Notes, Papuan plants III, 
49, gathered in New Guinea by D' Albertis, probably also 
belongs to Triphlebia and may be identical with T. Linza . 
Genus 43 . Aspidium, Sw. 
Subgenus Polystichum.
