POLYPODIUM VULGARE, V a u . T r u n c a t um .
M o o r e .
P o ly p o d ium—Polypody. V u lg a re—Common. T ru n c a tum—Truncated.
A n interesting variety, well worthy of cultivation. Rare.
Discovered at AVindermore, by Mr. Clowes.
In this variety the lobes are profoundly serrated, the lobules
being minutely serrated.
The fronds are occasionally truncate, the leafy portion being
absent, and the veins projecting so as to form irregular points.
The pinnæ are alternate.
Length twelve inches, or more.
The frond for illustration was kindly forwarded by Mr.
Clowes, of AVindermere.
POLYPODIUM VULGARE, V a r . M a r g in a t u m .
V u lg a re— Common. M a rg in a tum—In
reference to the margin.
A DISTINCT variety.
This P e rn differs in having the epidermis of the under
surface of the frond split away, as it were, from the margins
of the lobes, and receding towards the mid-vein.
Variety marginatum is very rare.
My thanks are due to Mr. Monkman, of Malton, for the
frond which is here figured.
