266 LASTREA FILIX-MAS. 



SuBTNTEGRA, Moore. — Found by the Rev. J. Baird at Ennis, 

 in County Clare, where he found it plentiful. Allied to 

 jmmila and ahhreviata; fronds narrow lance-shaped, dwarf, 

 glandular, and only pinnate. Pinnoe short, very obtuse, pinnatifid 

 half way down, into blunt oblong lobes. The sori large, a 

 simple line on either side of the midvein, about equidistant 

 from it and the margin. An illustration is unnecessary.

ScHOFiELDii, Sim. (Fig. 216.) — Found near Buxton, in 

 Derbyshire, by Mr. James Schofield, of Rochdale. Described 

 and figured in my "Natural History of New and Rare Ferns," 

 page 23, Plate XI — A. An interesting diminutive Fern, 

 quite permanent. Fronds from two to six inches long, and 

 very variable. Sometimes symmetrical, single, pinnate, with 

 oblong-obtuse, lobate, or serrate pinnre, and a crispy outspread 

 apex, more frequently unsymmetrical, more or less depauperated 

 or irregular in development, frequently multifid at the apex, 

 or ramose, branching occasionally from the stipes, or from 

 the lower portion of the frond. My thanks are due to Messrs.
