This rifes to about two Foot high, having a greenifh yellow middle Rib, 
or Stalk, to which at one third of an Inches diftance are fet the Twigs, fome- 
times oppofite, at other times alternatively, being each about feven Inches 
long, and an Inch broad at the Bafe where broadeft. The Pinzule are each 
half an Inch long, join’d to one another at their middle Rib, or original, and 
thence grow narrower to their ends, they are fharp, being of a yellowifh 
green colour, and there is a defect between the ends of each of the Pinzule. 
Of this there are feveral varieties, thofe moft remarkable being in the narrow- 
ne{sand breadth, fharpnefS or bluntnefs, and crookednefs or ftreightnefs of 
the Pixnule, two of which varieties are figured Zab. 50. Fig.1. & Tab. 51.

Pinwale are not over one third of an Inch long, and not quite fo narrow at 
bottom, fo that there is le{S void fpacebetween them, and of this Kind there 
are feveral varictics as to length of furculi, ec. The Seed lies in round fer-

This has a light brown greeniffi_fhining Stalk, rifing’ to about nine Inches 
high, or fometimes-a Foot and a half, to cach fide of which, at about one 
third of an Inches diftance are fet Twigs about an Inch and an half long, and 
néar an Inch broad ‘at Bafe*where broadeft, the Pivmule being joined to near 
their ends, and being of a dark green colour, much refembling the prece- 
dent, only the f#rculi are broader, ot which is all one, the Pixvule longer. 
The Piznule are alfo ‘broader; {o that whereas in that going before there is a 
defeé&t or empty fpace between the ends of the P fonule, here it is none or 
very fmall, and the Pinnule lie over one another. The Root is: knobbed, 
and has many Fibrils of a cinereous colour, fending up three or four Stalks 
from it, by which it is fufficiently diftinguifhed from the Filix minor paluftres.
