that species; but the successive fronds gradually changed in 
character until they showed a near resemblance to P. tremula^ 
differing mainly in the more elongated outline of the frond. In 
the intermediate stages the fronds assumed a more intermediate 
character. 
The habit of the plant is elegantly spreading, the erecto- 
patent fronds being upwards of 1\ feet in height, including a 
stipe of 6 or 8 inches, the outline of the leafy portion being elon- 
gate-triangular, with a tendency to furcation in the rachides and 
at the tips of the pinnae. The stipes are pale chestnut brown, as 
in P. tremulttj and the fronds have the same palish green colour 
which occurs in that species, from which this novelty differs in its 
narrower fronds, and the numerous elongated caudate apices which 
occur both on the pinnae and on the more compound of the pinnules, 
and are often as much as 3 inches long. The following description 
embodies its chief peculiarities : — 
Fronds tripinnate (in the few lower pinnae), 2^ — 3 feet high, 
elongate-deltoid, pale green ; lower pinnae triangular, bipinnate, the 
segments pinnatifid at the base and terminating in a long caudate 
apex, the intermediate pinnules sessile, pinnatifid at the base with 
linear-oblong segments and a caudate terminal one, the apex pin- 
natifid with linear-oblong decurrent lobes and a terminal caudate 
one ; upper pinnae less compound, but caudate, and having the 
basal pinnules also caudate, the uppermost merging into linear 
pinnatifid or linear entire segments, the apex being caudate ; sori 
continuous, with linear entire indusia ; veins once or twice forked, 
free; stipes and rachis chestnut brown, furrowed in front, smooth 
and glossy.
