Polysticum Scott. 
364 annulare imbricatum M. — fronds of a fine deep-green colour, 1 to 1|

366 — interruptum W. 3s. 6d. to 7 6 
367 — Kitsoniae 31. — frond 1| to 2 feet long, irregularly branched and 
tufted at the apex ; pinnules somewhat variable in outline, and 
remarkable for the number of bristle-like teeth along their margin.

383 — plumosum 31 . — this queenly fern is to the varieties of P. angulare 
what A. F. f. plumosum is to the varieties of the Lady-fern. It is 
unquestionably one of the very handsomest forms, and though long 
known is still rare. Fronds ovate-lanceolate, 2 to 2^ feet long and 
upwards, and 5 to 7 inches wide or a little more; pinnules ample, of 
remarkably thin texture, light-green in colour and deeply incised. 
There is no more desirable fern than this in cultivation ...3s. 6d. to 21 0 
384 — polydactylum 31 . — dark green fronds, narrow, lanceolate, irregularly 
fingered (often only once branched) at the apex; pinnae short and 
mostly forked or branched at the ends, pinnules small, sometimes 
wanting. Well-grown plants of this fern are very elegant. It is 
not common in collections 3s. 6d. to 10 6 
385 — praemorsum Allchin (abruptum) 3s. 6d. to 5 0 
386 — proliferum 31 . — this much admired and truly elegant form is remark- 
able for the fineness of its divisional parts and the multitude of 
proliferous bulbils produced on the lower part of each frond. 
It is of vigorous growth and most graceful habit, and being at once 
one of the handsomest of ferns and the easiest to manage, is always 
greatly in demand Is. to 10 6 
387 Alechii 2s. 6d. to 5 0 
388 Crawfordianum Phillips (Craufordianum) 3s. 6d. to 10 6 
389 Footii M . — fronds 2 to feet long, somewhat triangularly lance- 
shaped, drooping, tripinnatifid above and tripinnate below, the pinnae 
enlarging towards the base; pinnules acutely serrated, rather dis- 
tant, rachis exceedingly paleaceous. Not so proliferous as No. 388. 
A very beautiful form 2s. 6d. to 10 6 
390 Holeanum 3s. 6d. to 10 6 
391 Lyellii 2s. 6d. to 5 0 
392 Wollastoni 31 . — sometimes comfounded with the commoner pro- 
liferum, but widely distinct from it, being of much larger size, more 
lax in habit and finer in its divisional parts. A truly splendid fern.
