TRICHOMANES,
TRICHOMANES HENZAIENSE. (Hook.) Caudex creeping more or less tomentose, fronds small very various in shape -
linear to orbicular and often lobed, membranaceous glabrous, stipes hairy very short or often obsolete, fertile fronds deeply emarginate E
with a long stalked involucre proceeding from the base of the sinus, the lips of its mouth very large and spreading, veins pinnate, anda `
very distinct marginal band of reticulations round the edge of the frond.
The Specimen figured is from Burmah (Parish). Mr. Parish forwards ‘specimens of what he considers to be 2 or 3 different 1
varleties of this species, they are very unlike the form here figured, having flabellate and in some cases deeply pinnatifid fronds and some |
have the involucres quite sunk in the frond, if Mr. Parish is correct in his supposition the species is most protean, apa T. Henzaiense, T.
` Neilgherriense (Bedd.) and | some others are probably only varieties of T. muscoides, Sw.

POLYPODIUM. (See “Ferns of Southern India,” p. 55.)
۲۱1۷۲0011 THWAITESI. (Bedd.) Caudex creeping, clothed with lanceolate scales, fronds sessile rigidly membra-
naceous, perfectly glabrous 2-4 inches long 1 inch wide, lanceolate deeply almost to the costa pinnatifid segments 3-6 lines long 1-2 lines
broad sinuato-pinnatifid lower ones gradually smaller, veins pinnate, veinlets simple or rarely forked, where simple soriferous at the apex j
or: a little below it, where forked the superior veinlet is soriferous,
1 received this specimen from Ceylon where it has just been detected by Mr, Thwaites, who considers it the true P. parvulum of
Bory ; on comparing it however with authenticated specimens of that species from the Mauritius, I find that it wants the warty stipes
of that plant, the venation is different, and the segments of the frond are generally distinctly sinuato-pinnatifid instead of entire. Mr.
Thwaites informs me it is very sweet scented,
(Note.—Plate No. CLXVI of “the Ferns of Southern India,” is P. subfalcatum Bl. but the description that of P, parvulum):

PoLYPODIUM SUBFALCATUM. (BL) Caudex small, obliquely erect crinite rather than paleaceous, stipites short 3-8 3

broad, oblong-lanceolate subacuminate attenuated below deeply almost to the rachis pinnatifid, segments horizontally patent from a A
rather broad and decurrent base, linear lanceolate acute strongly serrated or pinnatifido-serrate, or slightly sinuate only, (sub-entire),
lower ones remote distinct smaller than the rest, costule slender flexuose, veins evident distant simple oblique soriferous at the apex,

glabrum, fronds glabrous beneath except on the costa, segments slightly sinuate or sub-entire.
The two varieties here figured have just been forwarded to me from Ceylon by Mr. Thwaites who refers them I think correctly 3
to P. subfalcatum (Blume), the more hairy variety has already been figured in “the Ferns of Southern India,” Plate No. CLXVI, but - 1
incorrectly named P. parvulum (which species has a creeping caudex). The fern figured at Plate LXXVI of this work as P. subfalcatum, 3
has the veins soriferous in the middle, and is probably an undescribed species although the a accompanying the Plate refers 1
to P. subfalcatum. | |

more long, all over pubescent with long weak hairs, oblongo-lanceolate pinnated pinnatifid at the apex, pinnæ numerous horizontal scarcely
petiolate (lowest pair deflexed) lanceolate acuminate broader at the base, superior basal segment being considerably larger than the
others, 3-4 inches long, J to nearly 1 inch broad, pinnatifid 3 to ¿ds down to the rachis, segments very obtuse crenated, lowest pair of
veins uniting and sending out a veinlet which is prolonged to the sinus of the segment, the rest free simple, sori one pair at the junc-
tion of the two basal veins, none on the segments, ظ
The drawing is taken from a solitary specimen collected by Mr, Parish in Birmah,
it is probably only a form of N. molle (Desv.) as I find fronds of Nephrodium extensum vary
solitary twin sori at the junction of the lower veins) whilst other fronds on the same
plant is constant in this habit of seeding, it is an interesting variety.

PTERIS QUADRIAURITA VARY SETIGERA. (Hook.) Of small size of a pale green color, texture remarkably thin —
aud membranaceous, the 7 or 8 lower pinnæ have the lower basal segment transformed into a pinnatifid pinnule, costa above furnished _
with weak pellucid setce, fertile segments being often crenated the sori are interrupted or punctiform (as in Cheilanthes) though the gene-
ral form is that of Pteris. | |

۲ LEOPELTIS STEWARTIT, (Bedd.) Caudex ? stipes 2-4 inches long, fronds 6-10 inches long subcoriaceo-membrana-
ceous glabrous ovate with a cordate base, deeply pinnatifid with narrow sinuses, segments 9, 3-4 inches long by 3 to 1 inch broad
Janceolate, finely acuminated, margin crenated, lowest pair not deflexed, superior ones as large or larger than the lower ones all pointing
upwards, terminal one much elongated and often sub-auricled at the base, venation manifest, costules not very prominent not extending
to the margin, the intermediate veins forming about 4 series of areoles between the costa and margin in which are included free clavate
simple or forked veinlets the apex of which form shining resinous dots on the upper surface of the frond, sori superficial in a single series
between the 2nd and 8rd areole much nearer the costa than the margin. 3 | |
Nearly allied to P. ebinesses (pl. CXXXVIII of this work) the superior segments of the frond however are as large or larger
than the lower ones instead of decreasing in size and they all point upwards, the terminal segment is much elongated, a series of speci-
mens may however prove them to be both forms of one species, the plant here figured has very shining resinous dots on the upper surface
formed by the apices of the clavate veinlets : :

The specimen figured is from Ceylon. Fig. clxxii. of this work (or P. lasisorum Hook.) is only a small form of this species

show that the two forms belong to one species. Grammitis adspersa ( Bl.) which I have received from Java is in no way diferent
and Gram. pusilla (Bl.) which I have from Java, though it has a different look, is probably only a form of this species (and ts referred
to it by Sir W. Hooker), «t has much narrower fronds and is not so copiously hairy, but the venation and position of the sori are the
same. Polypodium hirtum ) Mett.) not Hook. (which I have from Java under the name of Gram. fasciculata, Bl.) 5 in its veins,
being several times forked and in tts much thicker texture, it is besides a much larger fern. Without copious specimens it would be im-
possible to determine the limits of the species of this group. I have latel y received a species from Bourbon under the name of P. rufo-pilum
(probably the P. setigeram of Blume) it has just the aspect of the fern here figured, and only differs in the veins being generally twice
forked, and the sori ( which are not so regular ) being situated on both the superior and inferior fork, the upper portion of the frond could
not however be distinguished from P. hirtellum, as the veins are there only once forked or even simple, and intermediate forms may prove
base ràther densely villous and ciliated with similar hairs to those
sori in a single regular series close to the costa, veins when simple.

membranaceous dimorphous ; sterile ones 4-6 inches long, sessile ovate glabrous, deeply pinnatifid with the sinuses very narrow and the
segments sometimes overlapping each other, fertile fronds very shortly stipitate (the dwarfed lower segments often extending nearly to the
base of the rachis), ovato-lanceolate up to 14 feet long 2 to 4 inches broad furnished with soft hairs on both sides and ciliated, deeply
almost to the rachis pinnatifid, segments lanceolate 1 to 2 inches long 1rd to 5 an inch broad, nearly horizontal rather distant, the sinus
being very broad, the lower ones dwarfed and gradualiy reduced to a decurrent wing, venation very prominent in the sterile fronds, but
much less so in the fertile ones than in D. propinquum, veins forming 3 or 4 series of rather regular areoles in which are sometimes
included free veinlets, sori forming only a single series close to the costa, each sorus being on the vein between the 155 and 2nd areole.
Nearly allied to D. propingua, but differs in the softer texture of the fronds and in being hairy and in having almost sessile
fertile fronds, the sterile fronds often become perfect skeletons of veins, the parenchyma. falling away—fig. A. is a magnified portion of
the sterile frond showing the venation. | |

The specimens figured are from Gurhwal, Himalayas (Dr. Stewart).
In some very young fronds forwarded by Dr. Stewart, an involucre is distinctly visible. Mr. Thwaites, the Director of the Pera-
h authentic specimens in his Herbarium of Dr. Wallich’s
denia Gardens in Ceylon, informs me that my specimens exactly correspond wit
Polypodium costatum from Nepal, so that there can be no doubt that this is Wallich’s plant, and in now referring it to Nephrodium, I retain
Wallich's specific name, as there is already a Nephrodium lineatum. ۱ ۱
The fern figured at Pl. iii. of this work is incorrectly named Goniopteris lineata (Coleb.), it ۵ referred by Sir Will. Hooker
a Ceylon specimen of which is figured at Pl. coxxxix. of “the Ferns of S. India.” I cannot how-
hing to do with the Ceylon one ; it is of quite a different texture, is sharply serrated
it is very common in Birmah, and Mr. Parish has lately de-
but a Nephrodium, and I now propose the name Nephrodvum

Ferns of S. India) is found to have involucres it cannot be separated from Nephrodium li
My Ceylon specimens of Gonvopteris urophylla (though young and good ) show no trace of an
my Himalayan specimen of Nephrodium lineatum, there is nothing else to distinguish the two ferns (vide remarks at p. 133. )

PLATYCERIUM.
PLATYCERIUM BIFORME. (BL)
The figure is taken from a drawing (on a very reduced scale) made by the Rev. C. S. Parish from a living spe cimen of this
magnificent fern. Plate No. CIX of this work is a figure of a portion of a fertile frond (natural size), shewing the venation. Mr. Parish
informs me that the sori cover the whole concavity of a half cup-like coriaceous pedicelled receptacle, my former figure gives the idea of
the receptacle being as flat as the rest of the frond, but a further examination proves that this receptacle is burst along its margins and
must have been concave, but it could not have been such a perfect half cup as represented in the present drawing, but the receptacles
probably differ much according to age, the younger ones being more cup-shaped. Sir W. Hooker describes the fertile segment as a reni-
form stipitate shield-like receptacle, but does not mention its being concave, and it probably appears quite flat in all herbarium specimens.

ALSOPHILA.
Gen. char. (omitted by mistake at page 20, Ferns of Southern India.)
Sori naked, or sometimes spuriously (û. e. squamoso) involucrate ; the receptacles globose or columnar, medial or axillary.
Involucre non-apparent or represented by a bullate scale, or a series of jointed hairs. Veins simple, forked, paralled-forked, or pinnate,
from a central costa ; venules free, unisoriferous.
Fronds large, herbaceous or sub-coriaceous, bi-pinnate or decompound. Trunk or caudex thick erect, sometimes branching, often
arborescent (Moore) ; this genus differs from Polypodium in its elevated receptacle and in the obliquely compressed form of the spore-cases.
ALSOPHILA SQUAMULATA. (J. Sm. et Hook.) Frond bi-pinnate, partial rachis slightly squamose, pinnules all petio”
` late, sterile ones oblong-lanceolate, fertile portions contracted coriaceous glossy as if varnished ending in an acuminated serrulated point
pinuatifid scarcely half way down to the rachis, segments ovate obtuse serrate, the margins thickened or very slightly recurved, veins
simple, sori frequently confined to the lower part of the pinnules and placed close to the costa of the segments.—Hook, Sp. Fil. 1-51,

LASTREA.
LAsTREA FAIRBAN KII. (Bedd.) Caudex long creeping as thick as a crow quill very black glabrous, but furnished
with a few scales, copiously rooting—stipes 8-20 inches long stramienous, black at the base, rachis channelled above glabrous or slightly.
pubescent with weak glandular hairs, fronds coriaceous 6-10 inches or more long narrow oblong pinnated, pinns opposite or alternate,
sessile or nearly 80, 1—14 inches long, less than 4 an inch broad, linear obtuse or acuminate at the apex, pinnatifid nearly to the rachis,
` the lower ones reduced in size and often more distant, rachis channelled and glabrous on the upper side, slightly pubescent or glabrous
beneath and there furnished with numerous broad-ovate or lunate very transparent scales, segments oblong to ovate entire much recurved
at the margins, veins more or less undulate, veinlets all simple not forked excurrent at the margin, sori one on the centre of each veinlet,
involucre reniform, fimbriate at the margin.
I have named this species after Mr. Fairbank of the American Mission, who first pointed it out to me on the Pulney Mountains,
where it seems to be very rare (and it has been not found elsewhere though it probably occurs on the Anamallays and Nilgiris), it is
nearly allied to L. Thelypteris, and I am not sure that it is not a variety of that species, the texture however is very coriaceous, and if a
- variety of Thelypteris, it is very distinct from any of the European or Himalayan forms in my Herbarium.

LASTREA.
LASTREA CONIIFOLIA. (Wall) At page 36 and Plate CI. of the Ferns of Southern India, I followed Sir W. Hooker
in considering this species only a more compound variety of L. aristata. (Sw.) Mr. Thwaites lately drew my attention to the fact that the
two ferns are quite distinct, this having an erect caudex and aristata a long creeping one ; they are otherwise very similar, but coniifolia
is much the larger and is more compound, individuals of each species differ much in the manner in which they are cut. I have given in
this plate a pinna of a more than usually cut variety of coniifolia (from the Sispara ghaut, Nilgiris) and the erect caudex of a juvenile
specimen. I have also represented the creeping caudex of aristata. Both ferns are common in all our western forests,

SCHIZOLOMA MALABARICUM. (Bedd.) Caudex creeping, slightly scaly and furnished with thick wiry roots. Stipes —

margin, veins quite free or occasionally one or two anastomosing.
I have long considered this a variety of Schizoloma nitens (Bl.) figured at Plate XX VII of the Ferns of Southern India (under `
Wallich’s name recurvatum), I now feel certain that they are distinct species, I have found large beds of this in Wynaad and | ظ
South Canara, and it is always simply pinnate and its pinnules are half ovate with almost a pointed apex, whereas nitens is generally
bipinnate and its pinnules have a very broad apex and often form an exact parallelogram ; the venation is besides different, in this species
it is either quite free, or with only 1-2 veins anastomosing in each pinnæ ; in nitens all or almost all the veins anastomose, In Plate
XXVII. of Ferns of Southern India, the artist has omitted the costa or marginal vein which runs close to the lower margin of the frond
and the veins are erroneously represented as springing from the margin of the frond,

The specimen figured is from the Courtallum Forests, it differs from G. Feei in its very prominent costules. I have specimens
from Birmah with the costules far more prominent and more regular than those in this figure, but I also have specimens nearly inter-
mediate as to venation between true Feei and variabilis, and I have doubts about the two species being really distinct, the Courtallum plant
is much more membranaceous in texture than Feei and the venation is very prominent. Sir W. Hooker refers the Ceylon pinnatifid
variety of Fevi (Plate CCXI. of Ferns of Southern India) to this species, but it has quite the venation of Feei, each segments of the frond
hag a costa (as in my three-lobed variety figured in the next plate), but there are no prominent costules.

GYMNOPTERIS FEEL (Moore) The plate represents some curious abnormal fertile fronds of Gymnopteris Feet, they ara
not uncommon in the large shola at Kodinkarnel on the Pulney mountains and are found growing from the same caudex with the usual
sterile and fertile fronds. I have never met with any thing like them elesewhere, though I have searched very carefully in many locali- -
ties. Mr. Fairbank of the American Mission first drew my attention to them, I have thought them well worth figuring in this work ás
they might be taken for some new species of Loxogramma if they got into Herbaria apart from the normal form. |
