Rhizome stout, creeping, clothed with large, lanceolate, squarrose, ferruginous scales; stipe 8 to 20 cm. high, erect, firm, polished; frond 10 to 15 cm. high, most frequently trifid, the segments 10 to 15 cm. long, one-tenth as broad, or the sterile rather broader, acuminate, entire or repand, coriaceous, glabrous, green on both sides; main veins conspicuous to the margin, veinlets obscure; sori in single series, rather nearer the midrib than the margin, one between each two main veins. Benguet, Lolier, Elmer 5815; Arayat, Merrill 3812; Mount Mariveles, Loher, Copeland 219, Whitford 142. Ceylon to Japan. This is very probably only an undeveloped state of P. palmatum. (55) P. glaucum Kunze. Rhizome creeping, stout, clothed with acic- ular, stiff, purplish brown palese 1 cm. or more long; stipe 15 to 20 cm. high, erect, firm, polished; frond 20 to 30 cm. high, 15 to 20 cm. broad, pinnatifid to within 5 mm. of the rachis into erecto-patent, acute, entire segments 10 cm. long and 7 mm. broad, or the sterile rather broader, coriaceous, glabrous, the under side with a blue bloom; no main veins, veinlets visible from the upper but not from the lower side; sori superficial, round, in single rows near the midribs. Luzon, Cuming; Mount Mariveles, Whitford 147, Copeland 1392; epi- phytic on high ridges. (56) P. affine Blume. Rhizome woody, scaleless; stipe 30 to 45 cm. high, firm, glossy; frond 60 to 120 cm. long, 30 cm. or more broad, cut down nearly to the rachis below, within 1 cm. of it above, into erecto- patent, slightly repand, very acuminate lobes, 15 to 25 cm. long, about 25 mm. broad, papyraceous, glabrous; no main veins, areolse large; sori superficial, in 2 to 3 irregular rows. Luzon, Cuming 97; Sorsogon and Albay, Baranda. Malaya. (57) P. Phymatodes L. Rhizome wide-creeping, stout, bearing sparse deciduous fibrillose scales, becoming glabrous except for very few appressed ovate black paleae; stipes 10 to 20 cm. high, erect, firm, polished, brown; frond exceedingly various, sometimes simple, lanceolate or oblong, acute or obtuse, entire .or nearly so, 10 to 20 cm. long; usually pinnatifid into segments similar to the simple form, the sinuses reaching to about 1 cm. from the rachis, usually rounded, coriaceous, glabrous; main veins none or very fine and not nearing the margin; sori large, round, immersed, in single or double rows or scattered; epiphytic.
