ASPLENIUM VIKIDE. 



Jun., of Todmorden. A dwarf form. Length of frond three 

 inches. Pinnae cuneate. My thanks are due to Messrs. Stans- 

 field for fronds. 



VarianSj Moore. (Fig. 584.) — A singular Fern, with very- 

 various fronds, some more or less normal, others interrupted 

 in the pinnte. The pinnec absent in part, small, or unusually 

 large in part, the apex occasionally forked, and the ultimate 

 pinnae very large and dilate. Pinnae very various in size and 

 form. Length of frond from two to five inches. I am indebted 

 to Mr. Barnes, of Milnthorpe, for a plant of this Fern. 



BiPiNNATUM, Clowes. — Found in 1853 on Whitbarrow, in 

 Westmoreland, by Mr. J. Hudhart, and is in the possession 

 of Mr. F. Clowes, of Windermere. Pinnee deeply incised in 

 the manner of Aspleniurn trichonianes mcisum. 



AcuTiFOLiUM, Gibsoti. — Found by the late Mr. S. Gibson. 

 The pinnae are lanceolate and acute. Very rare. 



There is yet another variety, sphenophyllum of Moore, which 

 I have not been fortunate enough to get a sight of.
