in consequence, but rather 

 because the testifiers are 

 supposed to have been un- 

 prepared to apply the names 

 rightly, than because the 

 counties are to be considered 

 unlikely in themselves. 



1391 L. dilatata. 



Counties all, except 28 31 42 

 to 74 105 to 108. In some 

 few instances, where the 

 spimdosumia marked in lists, 

 and dilatatwn left unmarked, 

 it has been assumed that the 

 present more general species 

 has been the one intended.

N.B. This continues to be con- 

 fused with dilatata, even by 

 botanists who have oppor- 

 tunities to see the ferns 

 living. There are specimens 

 in my herbarium, brought 

 fi-om Cornwall to Edinburgh 

 in 1830 or 1831, which Dr. 

 Greville then pronounced a 

 species quite distinct from 

 dilatata. [11 64 65 90 ;
