A VERY interesting variety, much cut, and very irregular on

The fronds are creuately lacerated on the edges, and margined
with a line along the under surface of the frond.
This F ern differs from the other snbmarginate varieties in
having raised lines and stria; across the upp e r surface of the
frond.
Sori hold, near the margin, with small detached portions
almost marginal.
L ength about twelve inches, breadth from one to two inches.
Veins darker, giving the frond a striped appearance. Apex
of frond pointed.

collector of Ferns.
