A. T. COrymbiferum — cor-ymb-if'-er-um (corymb-bearing), Lowe. 



A normal and coarsely-crenated form, with a large brandling tuft at the 

 end of each frond. Originally found at Owsnip Gill, in Swaledale. — Lowe, 

 Our Native Ferns, ii., p. 205, fig. 554. 



A. T. cristatum— cris-ta'-tum (crested), Wollaston. 



This pretty, crested variety (Fig. 130), of vigorous growth and freely 

 reproduced by spores, was first noticed and distributed by Mrs. Delves, of 

 Tunbridge Wells, who found it 

 growing in a mass of Hyrneno- 

 phyllum unilaterale ( Wilsoni) which 

 she had received from the Glasgow 

 Botanic Gardens. — Lowe, Our Native 

 Ferns, ii., p. 208, fig. 561. 



A. T. multifidum — mul-tif '- 

 id-um (much-cleft), Moore. 

 This is another free-growing, 

 crested form reproducing itself freely 

 from spores, and indigenous in Scot- 

 land, as it was originally found 

 • growing wild at St. Mary's Isle, Kirkcudbright, and distributed by the late 

 Mr. J. McNab, of the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens. It has, however, been 

 since found wild near Capel Curig, in North Wales. — Lowe, Our Native
