P. phegopterus multifidum. 



Multifidum. — A multifid form was found by J. Jones at 

 Burton with the tips slightly but constantly divided. A form 

 under this name is recorded by Mr. E. J. Lowe (Fig. 193) but ob- 

 viously is not correctly christened. This identical type, however, 

 we have found more than once at Aberfeldy and elsewhere, but it 

 has always proved to be inconstant, reverting to the normal under 

 culture. We have dried fronds of even more marked cutting than 

 our figure.
