LASTREA DILATATA. 



Fig. 230.— Frond. 



Minima, Moore. (Fig. 230.) — This is a very dwarf Fern 

 found in Cant Clougli, near Todmorden, by Mr. Stansfield. 

 A pretty Fern with diverse fronds. Length of frond from 

 three and a half to seven inches, ovate, yet more or less 

 depauperated, many of the basal pinnae are depauperated, some 

 only of the size of pinnules having incised margins, others 

 very brief with much smaller pinnules, not unfrequently 

 consisting only of a few lobe-like teeth. The pinnules very 

 diverse, some oblong, with acuminate lobatc-serrate teeth.
