T h e above Fe rn was found in Sussex by Mr. Wollaston,
and subsequently near Burnley, Lancashire, by Mr. Stansfield!
Its distinctive feature is in the bristly points of the serratures
being more developed than usual, and turning upwards.
The stipes is proliferous.
I t is a p re tty Fern.
For additional information on the varieties of angulare, see
vol. vi, pages 68 to 71, of Lowe’s “ Natural History of Ferns,”
and pages 67 and 110 of the present volume.
My thanks are due to Mr. Stansfield, of Todmorden, for
the frond figured.
