Names
LOXOGRAMME (Blume) C. Presl [family POLYPODIACEAE], Tent. Pterid.: 214, t. 9, fig. 8 (1836) & in Abh. Königl. Böhm. Ges. Wiss., ser. 4, 5: 214, t. 9, fig. 8 (1837); M.G. Price in Kubitzki, Fam. Gen. Vasc. Pl.: 229 (1990)
Information
Rhizome slender, shortly or long-creeping with a mass of hairy roots and greyish clathrate scales. Fronds simple, usually entire, ± coriaceous, glabrous, with immersed freely anastomosing veins without included veinlets. Sori mostly elongate, set at an angle to the midrib, rarely round (not in Africa), superficial, without paraphyses.
Range
A genus of about 33 species, mainly Asiatic but one in Central America, another in the Pacific and a few in Africa.
Notes
Schippers (Fern Gaz. 14: 191 (1993)) records Loxogramme buettneri (Kuhn) C. Chr. from T 6, Nguru Mts on tree ferns at 1270 m ( Schippers 1660). Otherwise known only from a few specimens from western Africa it differs from the other species in having small sessile fronds and sori almost parallel to the costa.
