MoNKMANii, 3Ioore. (Figs. 282 and 283.) — A crested form of 

 irregular habit. The fronds are normal in outline, having the 

 pinnse rather distant, and the pinnules broad, incised, and much 

 crowded, sub-imbricate. The fronds are all crested, but not 

 with any degree of regularity, some being massive, as in coronatis, 

 others as in multljidum, with an occasional multi-furcate apex. 

 The pinuEE are generally crested, but vary in size and regularity. 

 The plant is very handsome, erect in habit, and peculiarly 

 frondose in the pinnte. This variety was found by ]Mr. Monk- 

 man, in 1860, growing on a bank near a well in Troutbeck
