fertile, clusters near the end of each. Rhizome ivith fronch 
at its end. Stipes not jointed to rhizome. — Phegopteris

2. P. Phegopteris (L.) ; fronds pinnate, pinnae linear- 
lanceolate united at the base pinnatifid with linear-oblong 
blunt lobes, lowest pair of jnnnce ttirned doicnivards and for-

H. /•'. 3. ^V. 11.5. Pheg.poli/podioides (Y6e). — Ehizojne nearly 
black, wiry, slightly scaly, creeping extensively. Fronds 
triangular. Pinnae very acute, pointing upwards, rather hairy, 
connected by their whole width with the rachis ; lowest pair 
quite distinct, with a minute stalk, standing forwards and 
pointing from the others.— Damp places, loving the spray 
of waterfalls. P. VII.— IX. E. S. I.

clusters marginal. — E. B. 616. //. 4. N. 123. — Rhizome 
black, wiry, creeping, slightly scaly. Stipe slender, brittle.

balls on wires. Not glandular. — Shady mountainous places.

than the preceding, always covered with very minute stalked 
glands giving a mealy character to the surface. Frond scarcely 
3-fid, the lower branches being much smaller in proportion to 
the middle one ; all the 3 erect, rigid. — On broken limestone
