LOMARIA SPICANT BIPINN ATUM IN 

 AMERICA 



I have recently received fronds of a thoroughly bipin- 

 nate form of Blechnum [Lomaria] spicant bipinnatum 

 found in Vancouver Island by Mr. Geo. Frazer of Uclue- 

 let, Canada. The normally simple pinnae are divided into 

 pinnules cut to the midrib, thus entirely surpassing pre- 

 vious wild sports in this direction, which have never got 

 beyond a marked serration, though in one case the off- 

 spring of one of these forms has given an almost tripin- 

 nate form, but with shortened lobes. — Chas. T. Druery, 

 F. L. 6\, 11 Shaa Road, Acton, London W., England.
