This distinct endemic fern, so tar collected only thrice in mountains in the southwestern part of Szechwan, is closely related to P. adnata of the same region in general outline, differs in shortened and strongly deflexed lower pinnae and the glaucous underside of lamina, less serrated apice of sterile pinnae and broadly adnate base of fertile pinnae. Lomaria deflexa Baker represents only a young state of this species, having thinner leaves, less prominent veins and green color beneath. Plate. 155. Fig. x. Habit sketch (natural size). 2.

Rhizome creeping, thick as a finger, densely scaly; scales linear-subulate, atro- brown, thick, entire; frond ample, 2-3 cm apart, stipe up to 1 meter long, 1 cm thick and scaly near base, prominently bisulcate on the upper side and terete beneath, straminous or dark straminous; lamina over I meter long, 50 cm broad, ovate or oblong-ovate, simple impari-pinnate, pinnae 6-10-jugate, opposite or subalternate, 10- 15 cm apart, oblique, lower ones long-petiolate (petiole 1.5 cm long), uppermost ones nearly sessile, basal ones generally simple, or very rarely bifid, to 30 cm long (sometimes longer), 6-8 cm broad, oblong-lanceolate, base cuneate (unequally so in lower ones), long-caudate at apex, margin entire to the very tip, generally repand, thin, and not cartilaginous; texture chartaceous, glabrous and green on both sides; veins distinct beneath, mostly forked above base, vein- lets parallel, ended in large clavate straight hydathodes some distance from the thin leaf- margin; sor? linear, forked, extending from costa to near the margin. Yunnan: Tengyueh, G. Forrest 9496, 26688; between Muang Hun and Muang Hai, J. F. Rock 2401; withcut locality, H. T. Tsat 56934. Also Sikkim-Himalayas, S. India, Java, Philippines and Formosa. ‘ One of the largest species of the genus, characterized by generally simple pinnate leaves and large subopposite pinne with very entire, thin margin and long-caudate apex. From the available herbarium material, this distinct fern seems by no means abundant in the localities noted and has hitherto generally been utterly misunderstood by authors in the past. Coniogramme fraxinea of authors on Indian and Chinese ferns generally re- presents a mixture of a number of species, while its previous report from different parts of China has mostly been a mistake for C. intermedia Hieron. (cf. pl. 143 of this Icones), the specimens cited above from Yunnan constituting the first and only authentic record of the species from China. The other and the only species, which is similar to our fern in size, general habit and entire leaf-margin, is C. macrophylla (Bl.) Hieron. var. Copelandii (Christ) Hieron. (l.c. 292) of the Philippine Islands and recently collected in the Island Hainan (F. A. McClure 2147), which differs, however, in its veins ended in similarly pro- minent but somewhat arcuate hydathodes connected with the broadly cartilaginous mar- gin by sclerenchymatous cells.

Closely related to O. undulata (Willd.) Ching, from which it differs in characters as will be noted under that species. Upon a close comparison made in the herbarium at Kew in winter, 1930, I could see no tangible differences between the Philippine type and the southern Chinese plant, known as O. chinensis Hance.

Rhizome slender, wide-creeping, densely scaly on new shoots; scales ovate-lanceo- late, light brown, membranaceous, fimbriate, long-acuminate; frond far apart, or sometimes approximate, stipe 15-26 cm long, slender, firm, pale straminous, sparcely scaly in the lower part; lamina deltoid, 10-18 cm each way, tripinnatifid at base; pinnae 5-8-jugate under the deeply pinnatifid acuminate apical part, opposite, subpatent, all prominently articulated to rachis, the lowest two pairs generally petiolate, the upper ones sessile, the basal pair much the largest, 7-13 cm long, 3-5 cm broad, ovate-oblong, on petiole to 2 cm long, bipinnatifid under the deeply pinnatifid acuminate apical part; pinnules 5-8-jugate, opposite, sessile or adnate or petiolulate in the anterior basal one, which is the longest, patent, deltoid-lanceolate, 1-2-3 cm long, I-1.5 cm broad at base, acuminate, pinnatifid down nearly to costa into 5-8 pairs of oblong, rounded, entire or inciso-crenate segments under the pinnatifid apex; the second pair of pinnae much smaller, broadly lanceolate, to 8 cm long, 2 cm broad at base, pinnules oblong, sessile, pinnatifid or incised, the third pair and further upper pinnae linear-lanceolate, sessile, pinnatifid or pinnate at base with oblong crenate or entire pinnules with rounded apex; texture submembranaceous, light green, glabrous on both sides, except rachis near the insertion of pinnae being sparingly and shortly glandular; venation fine, distinct, forked or pinnate; sori roundish, brown, exindu- siate, much nearer to the margin. The species is now found to be fairly common in North and North-western China, Manchuria, Sibiria, Sahalin; Corea, Japan and Formosa and also Northwestern Himalayas. In China, it has been reported from provinces Hopei, Shensi, Shansi, Kansu, Szechwan, Sinkiang and Manchuria (cf. my Monograph of Gymnocarpium p- 41). In general habit, this fern resembles G. Robertianaum (Hoffm.) Newman of northern Europe and North America, differs, above all, in leaves being eglandular, or sometimes only rachis near the articulated inseration of pinnae being sparingly and shortly glandular.

Also Himalayas, South India, Tonkin and Luzon, the Philippine Islands (leg. Loher, type of A. Loherianum). A distinct but very variable fern, now known rather extensively in Asia. The frond varies from scarcely 5 mm to over 3 cm in width and leaf-apex sometimes prolong- ated and rooting at tip. The nearest relative is evidently A. fontanum (L.) Bernh. from which it differs in less pinnatifid fronds of dark green color, in costal sori and sometimes prolongated and rooting leaf-apex. The type based upon a specimen from Mt. Nilgari, South India, represents a small and simple form with some fronds having prolongated and rooting apex and agrees well with A. lushanense C. Chr. The Philippine plant described under A. Loherianum differs from the mainland form in no respect. ‘The Mexican A. Glenniet Baker has been found not specifically different from the typical form of our fern, as already pointed out by Hope (1. c.) long ago. Plate 174. Fig. 1. Habit sketch (natural size). 2.

Also Himalayas, Khasia and Tonkin. The genus Acrophorus comprises to-day two species, the other being A. Blumei Ching (Aspidiwm nodosum Bl.) from Malesia-Polynesia, which differs from the continental one in smaller size, more finely dissected leaves of an opaque color when dried, more copiously scaly and hairy lamina and much larger indusium of brown color and rigider consistancy. Fern students have been much divided in their opinions as to the systematic posi- tion of this rather isolated genus, but in the light of anatomical and morphological eviden- ces, I am convinced that its natural position falls with Davallioid ferns, and especially Leucostegia (L. perdurans Christ, for instance).

The species, now found to be common in the localites cited, resembles D. hirti pes (Bl) O. Ktze. in general habit, to which it has generally been referred, from which, how- ever, it differs in exindusiate sori, fewer and more distant lateral pinne with crenato- cuspidate serrature, thinner texture and sparingly fibrillose-scaly rachis and upper part of stipe. D. hirtipes (Bl.) has never been found in China, Himalayas and Tonkin and its report therefrom by authors in the past has chiefly been a mistake for the present fern. Plate. 179. Fig. 1.

The species represents type of the genus Hemigramma Copeland now comprising 4 or 5 species in the warm parts of Asia and Polynesia. Asa genus, which is closely related to Bolbitis Schott, Hemigramma is characterized by thick short woody rhizome, tectarid type of scale and venation, dimorphous leaves with strongly contracted fertile ones and indefinite sori. A variable fern as to the degree of pinnation, Gymnopteris Boni Christ differs in frond having 2-3 pairs of lateral pine, of which the lower 1-2 pairs not decurrent along stipe and rachis, but sessile or short-petiolate in basal pairs. H. distincti petiolata Ching, based upon Y. Tsiang‘s No. 2782 from southwestern part of Kwangtung, proves to be the same, as represented by our plate. Plate 185. Fig. 1.

Kingdom Ward 780. North India generally: Sikkim, Hooker fil et Thomson 315 (type). Rather a small fern characterized by the dense, large, broadly lanceolate scales with spreading long-acuminate tips and the dead persistent, reddish-brown soft stipes, which often break at 2-3 cm above base. In scale the species is very closely related to L. perdurans (Christ) Hieron. which differs by much larger size, without so charactetistically persistent dead stipes of previous years. In habit and size, it resembles L. Delavayi (Bedd.) Ching, but differs in rhizomatic scales being not ovate and imbriate. From L. dareaeformis (Hk.) Bedd., our fern differs in sessile pinnae, indusiate sori and shape and color of scales. The nomenclature of this fern has been very much confused. By priority, Acrophorus Hookeri Moore is found the legitimate name, because Moore’s nomen nudum was subsequently effectively described and illustrated by Beddome in 1865, and is much older than Davallia Clarket Baker. It was, however, unfortunate that Beddome himself later (Handb. p. 316) withdrew the figure under Acrophorus Hookeri in his Ferns Brit. Ind. t. 95 as being a mistake for Polypodium dareaeforme Hk., an exindusiate species, but his plate represents, in fact, a fern with fairly large indusia and, in this respect alone, agrees well with Moore’s species based upon a specimen collected in Sikkim by Hooker and Thomson.

A very distinct and pretty fern, now found to be fairly common in the localities noted, but still unknown elsewhere. It differs from the other species of the genus in its palmatifid leaves with 3-4-5 lanceolate entire segmeuts and wingless stipe, but forms with 2-3-lobed or even simple leaves have also been found not uncommon even in the same collec- tion or on the same rhizome. Polypodium annamense Christ differs only in the slightly winged upper stipe, while P. Cadieri Christ has simple or 2-3-lobed leaves with much con- tracted linear fertile segments. Plate 198. Fig. 1.
