Notes
No bathyphylls were collected in association with the original specimens. I subsequently described bathyphylls from Palawan, some of which were associated with sterile acrophylls. There are also transition bathyphylls which in 1937 I thought represented T. clemensiae, but now I think it more likely that they also belongto T. luzonicum. A final proof can only come from a collection of all stages from the same place. The fertile fronds of T. luzonicum and T. clemensiae are very different. There are also bathyphylls, without acrophylls, in a collection by Loher from Mt Mariveles; these agree well with Palawan specimens.
