ATHYRIUM FIIJX-FCEMINA. 



Fiff. 401.— Frond. 



Ramosum, Wollasto7i. (Fig. 401.) — A dwarf depauperatitm- 

 looking Fern, six inches in length. Pinnee small, their apices 

 crested, mostly the pinnules decurrent except the two basal ones 

 which are even-stalked, the decurrent portion being a double 

 row of teeth without any further develoj)ment. The crested 

 apices more or less entire with a dentate edge. The apex of 

 the frond ramose, and the branches multifid. My thanks are 

 due to Mr. Monkman, of Malton, for fronds.
