ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA APPLEBYANUM. 
A very elegant form of Lady Porn, obtained from Frizellu a?, which it resembles in having long, 
narrow, arching fronds, with small rounded pinnae. Its peculiar characteristic is, that the fronds 
become ramoso at the apex, branching out into a flat spreading head of several divisions, sometimes 
as many as fifteen on one frond. 2s. Gd.

ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA SAGITTATUM. 
A pretty variety of Lady Pern, raised from the variety called Meldia , and, like it, having a portion 
or the greater part of the frond furnished with abnormal pinnae forking irregularly from their base. 
It has, however, liitherto proved a much dwarfer plant than Field-ice ; and besides being prettily 
toothed, it has in its typical state the posterior branch of the pinnaa more developed than the 
anterior one, which with its pointed apex gives it an arrow-headed appearance. 3s. Gel. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA THYSSANOTUM. 
Is. 6Y. 
ATHYRIUM FILIX-FCEMINA VICTORi>E. 
In this very curious and beautiful variety, which belongs to the rheeticum type, the apices of tho 
pinnae and fronds are tasselled ; but the most remarkable peculiarity is that the pinnae, instead of 
being simple, all fork at tho base, so that two are developed from the samo point ; and as they are 
divergent, and one directed forwards and the other backwards, they cross each other on tho whole 
length of the frond, whioh thus acquires a very curious appearance. 2s. Gil. 
ATHYRIUM GORINGIANUM PICTUM. 
This handsome variety, which attracted a good deal of attention at the International Horticultural 
Exhibition, is remarkable as forming another addition to the small number as yet known of 
variegated Perns. It is of Chinese origin, and forms a somewhat triangular frond of drooping 
character, marked with a grey band along each side of the reddish mid-rib of tho pinna). 10s. Gel. 
and 15s.
