Trifoltatum, Lowe. (Fig. 588.) — Found at Bittadon, near 

 Barnstaple, Devonshire, by the Rev. F. Mules. A dwarf variety, 

 with small, nearly round pinnules, three on each branch, all 

 briefly stalked. I am indebted to the Eev. F. Mules for fronds. 



Ramosum, Moore. (Fig. 589.) — Found at Arnside by Mr. J. 

 Crossfield, and at Settle by Mr. A. Clapham. Branching in the 

 stipites, and in the rachides below the pinnules. The pinnules 

 are angular, and occasionally partially depauperated. The 

 illustration is from Mr. Clapham's fronds. 



CuNEATUM, Moore. (Fig. 590.) — Found at Stenton Rock, 

 near Dunkeld, Perthshire; and more recently by the Rev. T. 

 Ellacombe, of Bitten Rectory, near Bristol, in his immediate 

 neighbourhood. Mostly merely pinnate, with long, narroAV, 

 cuneate-based pinnules, and having numerous long narrow teeth. 

 In large plants the basal pinnae divide into three pinnules. My 

 thanks are due to Mr. Ellacombe for plants, and to Messrs. 

 Stansfield, of Todmorden, for fronds.
