SCOLOPENDRIUM VULGAEE, 

 Vau. Sublineato-striatum. 



PLATE LI. 



Scolopendrium — Hart's-tongue. Vulgare — Common. 



Suhlineato- striatum — Almost linear-striated. 



A VERY interesting variety, much cut, and very irregular on 

 the margin. 



The fronds are crenately lacerated on the edges, and mar- 

 gined with a line along the under surface of the frond. 



This Fern differs from the other submarginate varieties in 

 having raised lines and striae across the upper surface of the 

 frond. 



Sori bold, near the mai'gin, with small detached portions 

 almost marginal. 



Length about twelve inches, breadth from one to two inches. 



Veins darker, giving the frond a striped appearance. Apex 

 of frond pointed. 



It was gathered in Devonshire by Mr. Hillman, a well-known 

 collector of Ferns. 



For fronds my thanks are dae to Messrs. Stansfield, Vale 

 Gardens, Todmorden.
