L. DILATATA (THE BROAD BUCKLER FERN). 
This Fern differs from the last species in the intense green 
colour of its fronds and the fact that the basal pinna; are the 
most developed, and usually divided thrice, broadening the fronds 
and justifying its specific and popular names. Its scales are almost 
black and the midrib bright green. It cannot be confounded with 
the male Ferns, nor can we agree at all with Mr. Lowe’s sugges- 
tion that L. oemula is a form of it, as that Fern differs markedly 
in form of caudex and other constant details of make and appear- 
ance. The range of variation in L. dilatata is small, but some 
forms are very good ; soil, peatv loam.
