Fig. 775. 



CoLUMNARE, Clapliam MSS. (Fig. 774.) — Raised from spores 

 by Mr. A. Clapliam, of Scarborough. Slender, six to eight 

 inches long, and not a quarter of an inch wide; linear and 

 irregularly and remotely lobate-dentate ; apex branching, the 

 margins of the ramifications also dentate. I am indebted to 

 Mr. Clapham for fronds. 



Keratoides, Lowe, f Acrocladon, Clapham.) (Fig. 775.) — 

 One of the most interesting varieties yet in cultivation. Length 

 nine inches, width from an eighth to a quarter of an inch, 

 irregularly lacerate, and with the sori marginal. The stipes 

 branching three inches above the base, and then re-branching 

 two or three times, all the parts of the frond being narrow 

 and irregularly lacerate; width across the multifid apex four 

 inches, the divisions being narrow, irregular, and very stag's- 

 liorn like, hence the name. Raised from spores by Mr. 

 Clapham, of Scarborough.
