Athyriu?n Filix-foemina , Roth. Mr. G. C. Druce sends, under 
sundry inconsequent names, a number of cultivated monstrosities of 
this species. I utterly fail to understand how anyone can derive 
pleasure or profit from contemplating the exquisite proportions of the 
Lady-fern tortured into hideous deformities, such as some of these. 
In accordance with the provisions of Rules 2 and 3 the specimens 
should have been consigned to the fire, but I have distributed them 
in case any members may think them of interest. — J. G. 
A. flexile , Syme. Cultivated specimens from a root brought from 
Glen Eunach, Easterness, in 1888. Dr. Buchanan White agrees with 
me in giving it this name, but states that the fronds are not quite so 
long as in the typical state. Easterness is a new County record for 
this apparently rare fern. — G. Claridge Druce.
