SUBCRISTATA DaDDS (MoO?v) 



John Dadds, Ilfracombe. N. Devon. 1861. 

 3 ft. 



Syn. FURCILLATA ( U'oll, ) 



A grand Fern, scarcely as well known as it deserves ; a consider- 

 able colony of this variety had the audacity to establish themselves 

 in a wood within sight of J. Dadd's house close to Ilfracombe, and 

 soon met the fate such temerity deserved. Furcillate forms have 

 been found by many, of these perhaps as good as any is the one 

 found by Wilson.
