POLYPODIUM VULGARE. 



Acutum-Stansfieldii, Loioe. (Plate IX.) — Found near 

 Settle, by Mr. Clapham, of Scarborough; near Milnthorpe, by 

 Mr. Barnes; and near Cark, by Mr. Stansfield. This Fern has 

 been known as Acutum, bat as it is perfectly distinct from 

 the true form of that variety, I have taken the liberty of 

 adding Stansfieldii to it. Unlike Acutum it is a broad-fronded 

 variety, with long, narrow, acute, pointed lobes. Very handsome.

AuRiTO-DENTATUM, Monhiian. (Fig. 8.) — Found in 1861, 

 by Mr. C. Monkman, of Malton, growing upon a wall in 

 Westmoreland, near Lake Windermere, in the vicinity of 

 Bowness. The fronds are normal in outline, the lobes being 

 strongly eared or aurite, next the rachis, and deeply dentate 

 on the inferior margin; almost lacinate. A very pretty Fern, 

 and, as yet, proves constant. Fertile. The variety Aurihim 

 grows plentifully in the same locality.
