THE FERN FAMILIES OF BRITAIN. 
S. V. ramo-cristatum (crested, branclied), Clapbam. An 
exceedingly fine form. Fronds brancb low down into several, 
each bearing dense, heavy crests. 
S. V. ramo-cristatum, Moly (6). A unique wild find, of 
extraordinary beauty. Our illustration is from a Nature Print, 
and therefore obviates further description, as well as suspicion 
of exaggeration. 
S. V. ramo-digitatum (digitately branched). See Fig. 30. 
Similar, but cresting with wider and flatter divisions. 
S. V. ramo-marginatum (branched, margined).. Similar 
form again, but with the contracted and lined character of 
marginatum in the leafy portion and elsewhere. 
S. V. sagittato-cristatum (arrow-head-crested), Dadds. A 
most peculiar sport ; fronds narrow, and crested, with very 
long, basal lobes, also crested, to match. 
S. V. sagittato-cristatum, Hankey (12). A much finer 
form in its cresting than the last; basal lobes shorter, and 
leafy portion wider. 
S. V. sagittato-projectum (projecting), Sclater (13). A 
splendid, robust variety, akin to laceratum, but with sharper 
projections at sides, and three times the size. 
S. V. sagittato-projectum, Westropp. A recent wild find, 
excelling the last, with wavy, deeply-cut margins, long basal 
lobes, and crested. 
S. V. sag.-proj. variegatum (variegated). Offspring of, 
and same form as, preceding, but of a decided yellow colour ; 
very distinct and handsome. 
S. V. subcornutum (slightly horned). Like cornutum, but 
with projecting midrib at back of frond. 
S. V. spirale (spiral), Druery (8). An extremely dwarf form, 
with numerous thick, short, leathery fronds, twisted like 
a corkscrew. 
S. V. sp. ramosum (branched). Offspring of last, with 
branching fronds. 
S. V. supralineatum (lined above), Jackson (1). Fronds of 
nearly common outline, but with well-defined, sharp ridges 
midway between stalk and margin on upper surface ; the con- 
verse of marginatum.
