some fronds th e upper pinnæ are partially depauperated. I t was found near
Nettlecombe by Mr. Elworthy.
27.* amminalttm (M.). An elegant dwarf form, with attenuatoly pointed fronds
and pinnæ, and small narrow acute pinnules which are very finely serrated.
I t was found by Mr. Elworthy near Nettlecombe.
28.* areiatiim (M.). A fine Large form resemhHiig lineare (28), h n t less abnormal in its
development, th e pinnules heing tolerably uniform, very rarely depauperated,
and th e apices of th e pinnæ n o t heing confluent into a long linear lobe h u t
diminishing in th e usual manner. The pinnules are narrow, almost linear,
acute, with a very large acute anterior auricle ; while towards th e base of tho
ft'ond they are a little more ohlong, b u t even th en narrow. I t was found a t

31.* pliinwso-gracile (M.). A v e ry elegant variety of th in papery texture, in termediate
between plumosum (31) and gracile (27), having some of its pinnules
ohlong more or less lohed and incisely toothed, and some of them, here and
there, narrower and having deeper and more evidently linear sharp-pointed
teeth. I t was found near Nettlecombe hy Mr. Elworthy.
35.* oxyphyllum (M.). A fine and elegant form having th e lig h t and p lumy character
of p lumosum (31), and th e narrowish acuto form of pinnule belonging
to aeutum (6), whilo tho pinnules themselves are deeply pinnatifid iu the
distantly-lobed attenuate manner which is seen in proliferum (36), to which
on th e whole it has most affinity. I t was found uear Nettlecombe by Mr.
Elworthy.
36.* p roliferum Wollastoni (M.). See vol i. p. 156.
36,** proliferum Footii ÇM.). A remarkably fine form, closely allied to proliferum
h n t differing in th e more crowded segments and less atten u ated apex of th e
pinnules, which together give a more dense appearance to th e fronds. I t is a
large form, with broad fronds, and abundantly proliferous on th e main rachis.
The p lan t was found in th e county ot Clare hy Mr. E. J. Foot, and has been
sent to us hy Dr. Kinahan.
41.* Claphamii (M.). A remarkably handsome form, which appears to have a p e rmanent
character. The fronds are large and somewhat lax, with d istan t
pinnæ and pinnules, th e la tte r having in a general way th e character of a
deeply-lobed aeutum (5) ; th a t is th ey are somewhat broadly wedge-shaped
and stipitate a t th e base, narrowish above, acute, with a largo acute auricle,
an d smaller acute lohes. Iu th is form, however, b oth th e main and secondary
rachides are multifid ; th e former heing forked some inches from th e top, th e
branches forking again two or th re e times producing a flat tu tte d head of
acuminate divisions, which are th ro u g h o u t clothed with pinnules like th e
other p arts of th e frond ; and th e la tte r becoming forked once or twice a t about
an inch from th e end. I t is a charming variety, and was found near 'Whitby
in Yorkshire by Mr. Thompson of Darlington, under th e direction of Mr.
Clapham, to whom and to Mr. C. Monkman we are indebted for specimens.
Some of th e plants found in th e same locality are only multifid a t th e apex
of th e frond. The acute form of m u ltifid um from Upcott, (vol. i., p. 158),
appears to beloug to th is variety.
