 var. Schneideri, Bail., n. var. — Fronds 12 to 18 in. long, 

 divided into from 2 to 5 narrow lobes, bearing fertile 

 spikes as in the normal form. Found in the hilly parts 

 of Queensland ; first met with about twenty years ago, 

 but neglected to be published until preparing the present 

 work. (Fig. 913.)

 grande, /. Sin. — Stag's-horn. The liquid composing what 

 may be termed " tears" of the young fronds of this and 

 other species has a sweetish taste, and on testing with 

 Fehling's solution yielded the brick-red precipitate 

 characteristic of grape sugar. It affords an interesting 

 instance of nectar-excretory tissues among the Ferns —
