The leaflets have only a bristle at the point and the mid- 
stem very slightly scaly. M. Hawkchurch. 
32. Piumous Little Beauty A. P. 'Plumoso-'pulcheTlum. 
Here we have a combination of two varieties, the elegantly 
divided leaflets of the little heauty^ with the feathery form, 
light colour, and papery texture of the Piumous variety. 
M. TJplyme. 
33. Holy’s Most-beautiful A. P. Fulcherrimum Molyi. 
This has an erect habit. The fronds are lance-shaped. 
The leaflets are oblong, having their edges deeply divided 
into narrow, linear lobes, which are curled backwards. 
Towards the base of the frond the basal leaflets are thrice 
divided. The lowest pinnse are opposite : the others 
become gradually alternate. M. Colyton. The ordinary 
form (pulcherrimum) which only difiers in having a lax 
habit, has been found in the same parish. 
34. Partly-variegated A. P. Farti-variegatum, This 
difiers from the variegated variety in not having all its 
leafiets streaked, but only a single pinna and sometimes 
several of a different colour from the rest of the frond. M. 
Hawkchurch. 
35. Obtusest A. P. Ohtusissimum, This has both its 
leafiets and auricles blunt, its frond stiff and leathery, its 
mid-rib and stalk scaly, and its leafiets close if not over- 
lapping each other. M. Charmouth. 
36. Wedge-shaped A. P. Cuneatum, This has a lax 
habit, wedge-shaped leafiets, and pinnae tapering or attenu- 
ated. There are bristles at the apex and serratures. This 
is a truly graceful variety. M. Monkton Wylde. 
37. Slender A. P. Tenue. The fronds of this plant 
are egg-shaped : the leafiets are narrow, slender, and hooked 
at their tips, bending down in such a way that the under 
part seems to form a little trough. It is peculiarly lax in 
its habit and would be an ornament to a Pernery. M. 
37a. Yellow-stalked A. P. Flavo-racTiides, The frond 
is narrow, lance-shaped, about nine inches long. The leafiets 
are lance-shaped but rounded at the tip, on which there is 
always a bristle. There is also an auricle distinctly apparent. 
The rachis or mid-stem both of the frond and the pinnse is 
of a brownish yellow colour. Its texture also is papery. 
M. Axminster.
