late Rev. Charles Padley, of Enville. Pinnae lax ; pinnules narrow 
and sessile, except the basal pair. Frond symmetrical, yet more or 
less depauperate, the apex of the front most so. 24 x 9 inches. 
7. Barnesii, Moore (curta, Wollaston). Found at Heversham, in 
Lancashire, by Mr. J. M. Barnes. A grand, very narrow form. 
Pinnae elongate-triangular ; pinnules broad and conspicuously 
toothed. 15 X2J inches. 
8. Berryae, Lowe (grandiceps, Berry). Found in 1870, in North 
Devon, by Mrs. Berry, and now in the possession of Mr. Gardener 
of Ilfracombe. A very fine grandiceps form, differing in being 
more thoroughly ramose, and in being often cornute. Length, 2ft. 
9. Bollandae, Moore (plumosa, Wollaston). Found in 1857, in 
Kent, by Mrs. Bolland. A charming plumose, almost barren form. 
It is partly depauperate, which interferes with its beauty. 
10. Clowesii, Moore. Found in 1859, at Troutbeck, by Mr. F. 
Clowes, of Windermere. A robust variety, with frond and pinnae 
digitate. 
11. confluens, Phillips. Found at Ligoniel, Co. Antrim, by Mr. 
W. H. Phillips. A fine confluent form. 26x6 inches. 
1 2. crispatum, Barnes (congesta, Wollaston; fluctuosa, Stansfield). 
Found in 1864, at Coniston, by the late Mr. J. Iv. Hodgson, of 
Ulverston. A superior variety, with a compact habit and dark-green 
fronds. Pinnules crisp. 15x6 inches. Canon Swayne, of Salis- 
bury, gave Colonel Jones a remarkable dwarf crisp form, which he 
had found in 1874 in Carnarvon; and the Rev. S. A. Brenan also 
found another in Tyrone. 
13. cristatum, Lowe (cristata Crouchii, Barnes). Found at Rydal, 
in 1864, by Mr. W. Crouch. A very vigorous form, with loose 
spreading crests. 
*14. Cronkleyense, Lowe. Found in 1863, in abundance, on 
Cronkley Fell, near the Falcon Clints, by myself and my brother 
(the late Colonel Arthur S. H. Lowe, of Gosfield Hall). It has the 
general appearance of attenuatum, but the pinnules are twice as 
broad. Many of the pinnae are confluent at their extremities. A 
somewhat similar form was found by myself near Chaigeley Manor, 
Lancashire, named Marsdence , differing only in not being confluent. 
15. decompositum, Allchin. Found in 1871, in South Devon, by 
Dr. Allchin. A handsome very foliose fern, with broad pinnules, 
which are toothed and overlapping. Basal pinnules very long. 
24 x 1 1 inches. 
16. densunr, Barnes. Found in 1876, in Patterdale, by Mr. T. 
Airey. A remarkable congested form. 
17. dentatum, Lowe. Found near Nettlecombe Court, by the 
late Mr. Elworthy. A large-growing, coarsely dentate variety, with 
fronds 4 feet in length. 
*18. depauperatum, Padley. Found in 1868, on Exmoor, by the 
late Rev. C. Padley. A most distinct and interesting variety. 
Frond widest at the laase. Pinnae crested. Pinnules depauperate ; 
most so in the middle of the frond. More or less confluent on the 
upper third of the frond. 21X5 inches.
