Synopsis
Excerpt from Malayan Ferns: Handbook to the Determination of the Ferns of the Malayan Islands (Incl. Those of the Malay Peninsula, the Philippines and New Guinea)
The reason why the ferns found in Malacca (the Malay Peninsula), the Philippines and New Guinea are inserted in this work on the ferns of the Malay Archipelago is that in botany no strict limits may be expected to exist, and fern-species growing closely outside geographical boundaries may reasonably be expected to be found inside these boundaries as well.
