Platycerium hillii, Moore (P. alcicorne. var. Hillii). Barren lvs. like P. alcicorne, but the fertile lvs. are erect, the unbranched portion longer, the forks more numerous and compact, the segms. shorter and more acute. Lvs. clustered thinly, covered when mature with white stellate hairs; sori in oval or roundish masses, not at the base of the sinus but near the base of each of the last segms. The upper third of the fertile lf. is "15-18 in. across, 3-parted, the central segms. with 1 or 2 side lobes near the apex, the 2 lateral segms. broader and twice or thrice forked into 5-10 ultimate lobes."—T.
