ATHYRIUM riLIX-FCEMI^^A. 



habit. Found in the Mountain of Voil Famma, near Ruthin, 

 Denbighshire, by Mr. T. Pritchard. The characteristic difference 

 from incisum consists in the apices of the pinnae being 

 singularly multifid, as well as the apex of the frond; forming 

 a brief terminal expanded tuft, merging into those of the 

 pinnse. The pinnae narrow in some degree towards the 

 multifid apex, whilst the apices of the pinnae expand into a 

 number of flat-spreading nearly recurving segments, extending 

 into lengthy points.
