Notes

Willdenow's type is a detached bathyphyll; the only locality given is "Ind. or." When Ching regarded Willdenow's specimen as conspecific with L. lomarioides (Bl.) J. Sm. he took a very broad view of the latter species; certainly Willdenow's specimen is quite unlike bathyphylls of L. lomarioides as described in the present work. It seems to me probable that Willdenow's specimen re- presents the same species as the type of L. matthewii (Ching) Holttum, known from Assam, Tonkin and Thailand, but this cannot be regarded as certain, and I prefer to regard Willdenow's name as of doubtful application.
Presl gave the name Nephrodium sorbifolium to two bathyphylls, representing two distinct species, collected by Haenke in Luzon; I identify the specimens as L. copelandii and L. pteroides.
