;3o4 SOOLOPENBRTUM VULGARE. 



SuBMARGiNATo-MULTiriDUM, 3Ioore. (Fig. 595.) — A hand- 

 some variety found at Hackness, near Scarborough, by Mr. A. 

 Clapham. Marginate abuost continuously but near the margin, 

 and irregular. Fronds exceeding twelve inches in length, and 

 one inch and a quarter in width. Cordate at the base, irregu- 

 larly lobate and sinuous on the margins. Multifid, with a tuft 

 of many small dilated segments at the apex. In the fertile 

 portions the margin is laciniate-dentate. The illustration is from 

 Messrs. Stansfield, of Todmordcn. 



Crispitm-latum, 31oore. (Fig. 596.) — Found at Barnstaple, 

 in Devonshire, by the late Mr. C. Jackson; and at Nettlecombe, 

 Somersetshire, by ]\Ir. C. Elworthy. Differing from crisjmm in 

 the great breadth of its fronds, which are from three to four 

 inches across, and slightly broadest in the centre. The base 

 cordate. My thanks are due to Mr. C. Elworthy for a plant, 

 and to the Rev. C. Padley, of Beaconfield, Plymouth, for fronds. 



PociLLiFERUM, Moove. — Found in Guernsey by Mr. J. James, 

 of V^auvert. Of large size. Irregularly lobed, and thick and 

 rigid. Frequently forked, somewhat supra-marginate, occasionally 

 contracted or sublaciniated on the margin. Its peculiar feature 

 consists in the cup-shaped or trumpet-shaped excrescences, (often 

 a quarter of an inch in length,) which are situated irregularly 

 on the under surface of the fronds. The fronds are occasionally 

 laciniate, lobed or in some degree submarginate. Mr. C. 

 Monkman, of Malton, has found a variety having sinuate lobes 

 with very irregular veins, at Crambe, near Malton. I am 

 indebted to Mr. James for fronds. 



Papillosum, Moore. (Fig. 597.) — A pretty, curious Fern, 

 discovered in Guernsey by the late Mr. Jackson. The dis- 

 tinctive feature is a series of distinct wart-like excrescences on 

 the upper surflice of the frond, near the margin, forming a 

 kind of border. Sori oval. Length from six or eight inches 

 to eighteen inches. For the frond illustrated I am indebted 

 to Mr. Stansfield, of Todmorden. 



Transverso-lobatum, 3Ioore. (Fig. 598.) — Found at Nettle- 

 combe by Mr. C. Elworthy; near Doncaster by Mr. S. Appleby;
