Laciniatum-dissectum, Moore. (Fig. 366.) — An exceedingly 

 beautiful dwarf variety, found in Newton Dale, near Whitby, 

 Yorkshire, by Mr. Clapham, and near Levens by Mr. Barnes. 

 The outline of the frond moderately irregular. Considerably 

 irregular in the outline of the pinnse. The pinnules somewhat 

 less abbreviated, and more regularly laciniately dentate; the 

 teeth bold, long, and narrow. The illustration is from Mr. 

 Barnes' frond.

Laceratum, Moore. (Fig. 367.) — This very narrow and much 

 lacerated variety was found in Devonshire, by Mr. C. Jackson. 

 Length of frond eighteen inches. Pinnse brief, exceedingly 

 irregular, mostly abrupt, and showing a disposition to branch at 

 the apex. Pinnules in some places wanting, in others very large.
