In a previous issue of Taiwania, I discussed the Gleicheniaceae of Taiwan (De Vol, 1960). As is many times the case with my papers, the printers ink was scarcely dry before I wished that I could change some statements. In the previous paper I had reported Hicriopteris glauca var. concolor as a new record for Taiwan. I had never seen this fern growing and had some doubts about the identification of this fern, so Mr. M. T. Kao, C. H. Feung and I made a special trip in November 1961 to the Ta Hsueh Shan area in Taichung Hsien in an effort to find it. We found an abundance of what we called H. glauca but we never found a single specimen without the whitish power; the very small plants and the fully mature fronds were all glaucous. I returned from the An-Ma Shan lumber camp earlier than my companions and dried my collection with heat. To my surprise when the specimens were dry none of them showed any white powder. |
