in the Valley of the Dargle, County Wicklow, by Mr. E. 

 Barrington; at Killybegs, County Donegal; Glendalough, 

 Connemara, and Kylemore, County Galway; Gweedore, 

 County Donegal; Lough Gill, County Sligo; and in Mayo, 

 at Slieve More, Island of Achil, by Mr. R. Barrington. In 

 the Channel Islands, in Jersey by Mr. James, and in Guernsey 

 by Mr. C. Jackson. A large-growing, broad, much-divided 

 variety, more lax in habit than incisum. It is remarkable for 

 the conspicuous elongation of the anterior basal lobe of the 

 long narrow pinnules, these lobes forming a line on either 

 side of the midrib. In these particulars it differs from incistim.

Mesembryanthemoides, Clapham. (Fig. 380.) — A very 

 distinct, dwarf, multifid variety. Found by Mr. Clapham, 

 of Scarborough. Fronds five to seven inches in length. The 

 rachis dilated and flat on the upper portion, and throwing 

 out branches, their rachides being also flat and dilated, and 

 forming a compact very leafy crown. Below the dilatation there 

 are several pairs of small normal pinnules, or sometimes 

 branching pinnae. For this desirable variety my thanks are due 

 to Mr. P. Neill Fraser, of Edinburgh.
