A. C.-V. daphuites (glistening). See Fig. 15. Another very 
beautiful form, with extra large pinnae, somewhat crowded and 
blended together, so as to form a close approach to cresting 
at tips of fronds and pinnae. A plant of this type in the 
possession of Mr. Greenwood Pirn, of Dublin, has become pro- 
liferous, bearing innumerable little plants in clusters on the 
edges of the pinnae, in the usual place of the spores. 
A. C.-V. magni£cum (magnificent). A very bold and hand- 
some form, with much larger pinnae than the common type. 
A. C.-V. plumosum (feathery). A handsome form, found 
in North Devon, cut as in cornubiense, but with the edges 
irregularly extended by acute and long projections.
