IMr. C. T. Druery, as mentioned in our article on the 

 August meeting, found L. pseudo mas pendens, a very hand- 

 some form with pendulous pinnae on gracefully-curved 

 fronds, a huge specimen forming a marked contrast to the 

 normals in its vicinity. It had to be left where it was, 

 being in a private wood, but a small offset was obtained 

 and some bases for propagation. jMr. Cranfield's Scol. v. 

 renifovme and Mr. Smithies' Blechmun S. sevratum must also 

 be classed as acquisitions. 



From one member, Mr. W. L. Salusbury While, we have 

 received fronds of a very charming congested and crested 

 Athyvinm, which appeared as a chance seedling in his 

 collection, though he has no form at all to which its 

 parentage can be imputed. It is very similar in make and 

 cresting to A.f.f. congestuni minus, but is twice the size, 

 and we have consequently named it A.f.f. congestum 

 cristaium While. The fronds sent are quite barren. Mr. J. 

 W. Walton's ferns, alluded to under the August Meeting 

 (page no) as specially good, were : — 



P. ang. corymhifevum Walton. A very fine form with 

 dense, heavy, round, terminal crests to fronds and fine 

 well-developed ones to the pinnae. 



F. ang. tvipinnaUun falcattmi. A bold grower, well divided 

 thrice and with the lower pinnules markedly falcate. 



P. ang. foliosnm Walton. A fine foliose form. 



P. ang.hrachiatum cvistatiun Walton. Distinctly brachiate, 

 but differing in make from previously known forms of this 

 section. 



The Editor would remind the jNIembers that Messrs. 

 H. B. May and Sons, Edmonton, are distributing true 

 plants of that uniquely beautiful fern, P. aculeatuni gvacilli- 

 jjiuin Dvuevyii.
