Notes
A sterile specimen collected by Eyma in Ceram (n. 2371) agrees with C. inquinans in scaliness, but is larger, apparently with a longer stipe; it has pinnae to 60 cm long, pinnules to 100 by 20 mm, costules 4 mm apart, veins 15 pairs. If not C. inquinans, it probably represents a new species. The altitude given for this specimen is 40 m, but Eyma had just descended from the mountains and it seems possible that the specimen was collected there.
