 Whitby by James Henderson, who is employed in Mr. Willison's 

 Nursery at Whitby. A dwarf form, only five or six inches in 

 height. The stipites branching at the base, and again each 

 branching some inch or so above the base, and these branches 

 almost immediately dividing into dwarf fronds, normal at the

 Fern.
