DiFFisso-MULTiFiDUM, Loicc. (Fig. 330.) — A narrow-fronded 

 distinct and interesting Fern. Length twelve or fourteen inches, 

 width three inches and a half. In addition to the characters 

 of dijjissum, the apices of all the pinnules are conspicuously 

 multifid, and the frond itself terminates in a large multifid apex. 

 This variety was found at Nettlecombe, Somersetshire, by jMr. 

 Charles Elworthy, to whom I am indebted for fronds.
