Ramosum, IVilldenoiv, {Dcedaleum of Deakin.) (Fig. 686.) — 

 A A'ariety known since the time of Plukenet, and very beautiful. 

 I\Iore recently found at Ilfracombe and in Guernsey. Fronds 

 brief, dense, and consisting of a multiplication of furcations, 

 the stipites, which start singly from the caudex, becoming 

 ramified like the limbs of a tree, the costa often again branched 

 below, and each branch bearing a dense multifid-crispcd tuft. 

 In some instances the apex of the frond is ramified two 

 hundred-fold. The illustration is from Mr. C. Monkman. 



Irregulare-minus, Clapluim. (Fig. 687.) — Another singular 

 form raised by Mr. A. Clapham, of Scarborough. Fronds only 

 three inches in length, many branching at the base into twin 

 fronds, and the costa dividing again near the apex. The 

 margin of the frond very irregular, and somewhat crisped. 

 The illustration is from Mr. C'lapham's frond.
