MuLTiFiDO-CRisTATUM, Moove. (Fig. 25.) — Found by Mr. 

 Tasker, of Weston-super-Mare: the locality has not, I believe, 

 been given. In this very beautiful form, from one to three inches 

 of the frond proper, consists usually of only a few short crested 

 lobes here and there, and connected by a leafy wing, whilst 

 occasionally the latter is alone present. The marked feature in 

 this variety, is its repeatedly short and leafy forkings, each 

 alternate one crispy, the whole forming either a dense, flattish, 

 or cucular, extremely handsome crest- A splendid variety.
