Notes

With the original description of this species, Hooker cited first a specimen from Ambon, then Cuming 120 from Luzon; his figure was certainly prepared from the Luzon specimen, which I therefore regard as the type. The Ambon specimen is quite distinct in shape of lamina-segments and details of scales; it belongs to C. tripinnatifida Roxb.
There is considerable Variation in size, shape and marginal teeth of the segments of the pinnules in C. integra; there is also Variation in the presence of hairs on the lower surface of costae and in length of stalks of lower pinnules. I have not observed clear correlation of such characters, and do not think that var. petiolata Hook, can be regarded as a distinct variety.
