POLYPODIUM PHEGOPTERIS, Var. Multifidum. 



Lowe. 



Polypodinm — Polypody. Phegopteris — Beech Fern. 



Multifidum— MmMi&A. 



This interesting variety was found by myself in great 

 abundance in 1857, near Stoclcghyll Force, Ambleside. 



In form it resembles the normal form of Polypodium 



phegopteris, the distinctive feature consisting in its being 



irregularly multifid.
