ATHYUIUM FIJ.IX-FCEMINA.

18G2 near Milntliorpc Station by Mr. Barnes. It differs from 

 plumosum in the more distant ])inna3, and the exquisite feather- 

 like character. The segments of the pinnules are very narrow, 

 and deeply cut, being decurrent on the costa, and their 

 divisions again deeply and finely cut. The superior basal 

 pinnule and superior basal lobe considerably larger than the 

 rest. A large -growing delicate-looking variety. I am indebted 

 to Mr. Barnes for fronds.

PLUMOsuM-STANSFiELDiijZott^e. (Fig. 39.2.) — Another plumose 

 form of very thin substance, found by Mr. Stansfield, near 

 Todmorden. The fronds blunt at the apex. Pinnae broad 

 and pyramidal. Pinnules large, divided at the base to the 

 costa, much cut, the lobes being dentate on their edges, but 

 very leafy, the tips of the pinnae overlapping. The illustration 

 is from Mr. Stansfield. A splendid form of this variety has 

 been found at lioniton by Miss C. E Johns, in which the 

 frond is fifty-four inches long, and the pinnae nine inches.
