Var. lepidota (Moore), having the rachis and its br. with numiTous "broad 
cuspidate and narrow piliferous scales," is said to have been found in Yorks.] 
— L. collina (Newm.) has a triangular-ovate-prolonged frond 
and ovate blunt bluntly mucronate-serrate pinnules. K. 223. 
— L. glandnlosa (Newm.) has a broad lanceolate frond covered 
with stalked glands beneath and the scales on the ^tipe often 
nearly without the dark centre. Deak. Fl. Brit. f. 1612.

Stipe usually short. Frond 1—2 feet high. First upper 
pinnule of each pinna longer than the others, its lower side 
(next the main rachis) usually nearly straight, its upper acutely 
auricled and forming an acute angle with the lower and with 
the partial rachis at the point of attachment. In young plants 
the pinnse are serrate or pinnatifid or with one or more pin-
