THE .POLYSTICHUMS 



203 



Imbricatum (Plate XXX) .—Found in Somerset by Mr. Elworthy ; 

 fronds narrow, pinnae blunt, and pinnules dense and overlapping ; 

 bulbiferous. ' 



Fig. 229. P. ang. inciso-acntum. 



Inciso-acutum (Fig. 229). — Found in Lancashire by Mr. A. 

 Stansfield ; a robust form, with long, falcate pinnules, deeply cut, 



Inequale variegatum. — Nearly normal in make, but distinctly 

 speckled with pure white, the tissue being somewhat contracted 

 when white, but not enough to disfigure the plant. 



I. v. polydactylum. — A cross obtained by Col. Jones with a 

 polydactylous form to which the variegation was exactly trans- 

 mitted. 



Kitson^e (Fig. 230). — Found at Torquay by Miss Annie Kitson ; 

 a very distinct form, somewhat resembling a grandiceps, but with 

 less-developed tassels. Pinnules very small and frond terminal 

 much branched ; its chief peculiarity is a tendency on the part 

 of the pinnulets to form tassels. 



Latifolium. — Found by Mr. Moly in S. Devon ; very fine, 

 long lower pinnules. 



Latifolio-grandiceps. — Raised by Col. Jones ; broad, heavily 

 crested fronds. 



Latipes Parsons. — Fine foliose form. 



Laxo-cristatum Praeger. 

 and crested. 



Lineare (Plate XXX). — Found in Jersey by Mr. James and else- 

 where by Moly, Tait, and Wells, but on varied lines ; the peculiarity 

 of the section is the great tenuity of the subdivisions, which are 

 more or less suppressed or reduced to rudiments at the centre of the 

 frond ; the terminal subdivisions are indistinctly separated or 

 confluent ; very distinct. 



-Found Castle Dobbs ; lax habit
