it b as a ball-like crest, and has its leaflets more closely- 
set together. M. Hawkchurcb. 
84. Headed A. F. Capitatum, Though a small plant it 
has a very large head. The frond is shorter than the width 
of the much-branched head. All the pinnae of every branch, 
though exceeding an inch in length, have their leaflets 
confluent. The branches are all branched and some several 
times. M. Axminster, at Wyke. 
85. Kitson’s A. F. Kitsonicd, The mid-stem of the 
frond of this variety separates, when it reaches about half 
its height, into four or five branches which are tufted in 
clusters, and the pinnae which form them are dilated and 
crispy at their tips. The pinnae below are generally regular, 
occasionally branched; the leaflets are numerous, oblong, 
acute, serrated, and bristly. In the branches which form 
the great tuft at the head of the frond both the pinnae and 
leaflets are altered, being for the most part smaller and 
running more together than in the pinnae below, but there 
is the same bristly toothing throughout. M. Hawkchurch.
