Hab. Mexico to Veneznela.-Differs from P. Uriceumbj its shorter and broader frond,
more herbaceous texture, and larger almost constantly uniserial sori. The Mexican
P. appendiculatum, Klotzsch (Hk. Fil. Ex. t. 87), non Wallich, is apparently a form of this
more delicate in texture, with the veins and rachis tinged with bright-red.

villose ; sori prominent, uniserial.—Idle. Bp, 5. p . 21.
Hab. Venezuela.—Very near the preceding.

spreading, dark-brown, ovate-acuminate ; st. 4-6 in. 1., erect, naked, glossy ; f r .

pinnoe l j - 3 in. L, j - j in. br., the lowest p a ir shorter and deflexed ; texture subcoriaceous,
colour dark-green ; both sides naked ; main veins 1 in. apart, with
generally two areolæ between the edge and midrib ; sori large, in single rows
close to the midrib.—Hh. Bp. 6. p . 20. {not J . Bm.).
Hab. B ra z il~ P . Wageneri, Mett., from Columbia, is said to differ from this by its
linear frond and very numerous pinnæ.
243. P . (Gonioph.) loriceum, L. ; rhizome stout, wide-creeping, the scales
black in the centre, with a scariose border ; st. 4-6 in. L, sometimes ebeneous ;

falcate, dilated a t the base on the upper side ; texture subcoriaceous ;
rachis and both sides usually naked ; veins very distmct, the areolæ generally in
two distinct rows, with the sniall sori often in both.—i / / . Bp. 5. p. 21.—/3,

Hab. Mexico and West Indies to Brazil and Chili.—From this we cannot distinguish
clearly P. dasypleuron and Falcaría (Kze.) and loehim (Raddi). P. pectinatum (J. Sm.)
is smaller and more delicate, with close narrow acute pinnæ, densely fibrillose bright
ferruginous scales and constantly uniserial sori. P. punctulaium, Hk. Ic. t. 720 {P. Cala-
guala, Fée), resembles this in its slender pectinate habit and uniserial sori, but is more
rigid in texture.

dense, ovate-lanceolate, brown ; st. 4 in. 1.; f r . 7 in. L, 4 in. br., ovate-deltoid,
