CyrfopleriS—Bladder Fern. D k k i e a n a S ■ô.mcà after Dr. Dickie.
A VERY handsome indigenous dwarf species, easily cultivated,
and making a charming specimen.
A deciduous hardy Fern.
Discovered by D r. Dickie on dripping rocks in a cave at
Cove, near Aberdeen, and since then at Dunkeld, by Dr.
Balfour.
I t has not been found in any other country.
Authorities feel inclined to place the Cijstopteris dicldeana
as a form of C. fra g ilis . I n the present work, hotvever, I
have prefe rred figuring it as a distinct species. On page 79
in giving a list of Mr. Moore’s varieties, in mentioning Var.
dentata, it is stated as being figured as a distinct species, this
notification was intended to apply to G. dicldeana. C. dentata,
mav, however, be another form of the C. dicldeana.
F ronds bipinnate, and ovate-lanceolate iu form, the pinnæ
being rather ovate and overlapping each other, and deilexed.
