374 FILICES. [Aapleniuni. 



Moors, heaths, and boggy places ; common. Fl.Julj to Sept. 



A very variable, but well-marked species ; there is seldom 

 any difficulty in identifying the different forms, and we think 

 they are scarcely worth naming, except as gardener's varieties 

 for cultivation. Miss EJiox Gore has shown us an interesting 

 series of the different forms collected in the north-west of 

 Mayo.
