Athyrium Filix-foemina mr. Parsonsise. — A curious and 



interesting British variety of Lady Fern, in which the chief pecu- 

 liarity which has been observed is the dimorphism of the fronds. 

 This was tolerably well developed in the plant shown, although 

 not to the same extent as when first met with last season by Mrs. 

 Parsons. The lower spreading fronds, which are but partially 

 fertile, are broader and more leafy than the others, and have the 

 general aspect of the var, trijidiim ; while the central erect 

 fronds are more decidedly fertile, and have the pinnules reduced 

 in size, as well as narrowed and more distantly set upon the 

 rachis. It was awarded a Second-Class Certificate as an 

 iiiteresting novelty among British Ferns.

 Commended for its colour and its decorative properties.
