POLYPODIUM. 251 (undivided) fronds, borne on stalks lin. or more in length, clothed with soft, spreading hairs, are Sin. to 12in. long, Jin. broad, sharp-pointed at their summit, but very gradually narrowed to the base, and slightly waved along the edges ; they are of a leathery texture and naked on both sides. The spore masses are disposed in long rows midway between the midrib and the edge.—Hooker, Species Filicum, iv., p. 169, t. 272b. Beddome, Ferns of Southern India, t. 237. P. Zollillgeriaiium—ZoHin-ger-i-a'-num (Zollinger's). Synonymous with P. Fig. 70, Polypoclium zosterseforme (i nat. size). P. (Phymatodes) ZOSterasforme — Phy-maW-des ; zo-ste'-ne-for'-me (riband - shaped), Wallich. This singular-looking, stove species, of small dimensions, is a native of Tenasserim, Burmah, and Moulmein. Its riband-like fronds, 4in. to 6in. long, very narrow, with edge entire, and gradually narrowed to the base, are produced from a wide-creeping, slender rhizome of a fragile nature and scaleless ; they are borne on very slender short stalks (Fig. 70, reduced from Col. Beddome's.
