 A seedling raised by Messrs. Stansfield, of Todmorden, and now 

 in the possession of ]\Ir. Clapham, of Scarborough. An inter-

 and alternate above, approximate, descending at a considerable 

 angle below, and horizontal above; the four basal pairs of 

 pinnae about an inch in length, the centre pinnre four inches in 

 length, their apices dilated, furcated, or branched. Pinnules
