Stipes subquadrangularis, trisuicatus , laevis ad alas tantum mu* 
riculatus, purpureo-nigricans, in unico specimine stramineus. Pin¬ 
nae, infimis exceptis, vix petiolatae pinnatopartitae, lacinia terminali 
plus minus elongata; infimae pinnulas 3-4 deorsum emittentes. La¬ 
cinia) lanceolatae et acuminatae (in vetustis erosae et obtusaO serratae, 
punctis prominentibus scabrae, basi inferiore decurrente et auriculam 
cum lacinia inferiore late confluentem formante. Venae parallelae, 
simplices vel semel fur catae; auriculam laciniae fulcrantes 4-5 ab ipsa 
costa prorumpentes. 
Species pulcherrima cum nulla alia confundenda. Pt. angusta 
Bory a Pt. scabra illius non differt, sec. specimina in Hbrio ipsius, 
nisi lacinia terminali longiori angustissima; quod vero in hac ut in 
aliis totius tribus eximie variat, ut ne varietatis quidem nomine dig¬ 
nam illam existimarem. Magis forsan abludit specimen in Hb. Hoo- 
keri a Garmichael lecto, stipite pulchre stramineo, sed ceteris notis 
conveniens distinguere non audeam. Pt. linearis Poir, sec. specimen 
ab ipso Poiretio in Hb. Jussieui nominatum, huc etiam pertineret, 
sed Desvaux observatiunculam illo quidem specimine adscripsit, non 
veram esse Pt. linearem, et hanc in Prodromo filicum ne ad Pterides 
quidem pertinere judicavit. Gfr. Pt. linearis infra.
