Balansa, 1856. Habit of N. villosum. 
146. N. arborescens, Baker. I had much correspondence with 
the late Rev. T. Powell about this plant, and finally he came 
to the conclusion that he had made a mistake in reporting 
it as arborescent. I propose therefore to drop the name and 
keep up two nearly-allied Samoan species, as follows. 
146*. N. Powellii, Baker, n. sp. Caudex erect. Stipes tufted, 
densely clothed with linear paleae, of which the lower are ij 
in. long. Frond deltoid, decompound, firm, glabrous, 2J-3 ft. 
long. Lower pinnae the largest, deltoid, a foot long. Pin- 
nules oblong-lanceolate; tertiary segments lanceolate, deeply 
pinnatifid, cuneate-truncate on the lower side at the base; 
lobes obtuse. Veins pinnate in the quaternary lobes ; vein- 
lets simple, erecto-patent. Sori medial. Indusium firm, 
glabrous, persistent. Samoa, Powell , 245. 
146*. FT. ludens, Baker, n. sp. Rootstock decumbent. Stipes 1-2 
ft. long : basal paleae linear, the lowest i-if in. long. Fronds 
oblong-deltoid, decompound, moderately firm, glabrous, 4-4 \ 
ft. long. Pinnae deltoid ; quaternary segments oblong, cre- 
nate. Veins pinnate in the quaternary lobes. Sori medial. 
Indusium firm, glabrous, persistent. Samoa, Powell , 87, 167.
