P. fronde longe stipitatâ ternatâ in venis subtus fulvo-tomen-
tosâ, foliolis petiolatis pinnatifidis, sterilibus laciniis lineari-
lanceolatis acuminatis integris, superioribus obtusiusculis, late-
ralium infhnâ exteriore elongatâ lanceolatâ pinnatifidâ, stipite
inferne paleaceo. Blume Fil. Jav. p. 100. a.
Habitat : Cl. van Hasselt speciem hanc ad ripas lapidosas Tjikaloiig provincial australis ifa/itam detexit.
Specimen in ipsius herbario servatum sterile quidem est, asthabitu cum prsecedenti adeo congruit, ut generi
Potybotrya ipsam accensere nulli dubitemus. Differ! a P . auritd Bl. imprimis foliolis petiolatis, profunde
pinnatifidis, longius accüminatis, quorum lacinise multo angustiores, magis acuminate potiusque erecto-
patentes, quam sub-falcate.
Filix circiter i 5^2-pedalis.
Caudex obbquuS, prope subterraneus, bgnosus, brevis, crassiusculus, inter
stipitum rebquias undique radiculas exserens, sursum squamis multis coacer-
vatis borrens. Radiculce 4-8-pollicares, horizontali-proserpentes, fuscæ, inferne
filiformes, et in fibrillas multas teneras tortuosas divisæ. Stipitum reliquioe soli-
tariæ, appressæ, teretiusculæ, fistulosæ, fragiles.
Frondes 7-10-poUicares, stipitatæ, e parte caudicis superna aba supra abam
exortæ.
Stipes 8 poll, ad 1 ped. longus vel longior, erectus aut sub-tortuosus, e fusco
atro-purpurascens, inferne crassitudine pennæ corvinæ, sub-trigonus, paleis
sparsis, sursum tenuior, teretiusculus, glaberrimus, bine sulco levi sursum
sub-tomentoso exaratus. Prolificationes in petiolorum axilbs haud raro obviæ,
sobtariæ, parvæ, squamis plurimis teneris efformatæ, inferne sæpius fibrillas
plures filiformes, simpbees, tortuosas, sub-tomentosas, emittentes. Paleoe caudicis
stipitisque circiter 15-bnearés, bneari-subulatæ, acuminatæ; caudicis erectius-
culæj stipitis patulæ aut varie flexæ, membranaceæ, fuscæ, margine denticulato-
sub-cibatæ ; probficationum longe minores.
Frons sterilis ternata, circumscriptione ovata, 5-8-polbcaris, et vix angustior.
Foliola breviter petiolata, magnitudine inæquaba, acuminatissima, profunde
pinnatifida, membranacea, in Costa mediâ venisque primariis supra ferrugineo
