87 — Fieldiae M . — this extraordinary form has fronds from 12 to 18 inches 
long, somewhat abrupt at the apex ; 1 or 2 pairs of pinnae at the 
base are almost normal, the rest being forked, or more or less trilo- 
bate, the superior lobe much the larger and projecting forward so as 
to be almost parallel with the rachis ; the opposite, forked pinnae 
give the abnormal part of the frond a cruciate appearance. Ought 
to be in every collection Is. 6d. to 
88 — Fieldiae nana

90 — flexile laciniatum — an extremely elegant form, raised here some years 
ago from spores. Its habit is that of Pseudathyrivm flexile ; the 
fronds, which are of a peculiar light-green colour, attain about the 
same length ; pinnae sometimes abbreviated ; pinnules irregularly 
depauperated or laciniate. No one ever sees without admiring this 
beautiful fern, which as yet is in few collections 
91 — flexuosum M. 
92 — Foxtoni Stansf. 
93 — Friselliae Bain — a very singular and beautiful variety. Though its 
habit is less vigorous than that of most of the Athyriums, it is by

to 18 inches in length, and from £ to 1 inch in breadth, are of a 
peculiar vivid green; habit slender, graceful, drooping; pinnae 
crenately fan- shaped; some of the fronds have an occasional 
pinnae projecting to the normal width, with 3 or 4 pairs at 
the apex also normal. On account of its elegantly pendulous 
habit this charming fern is pre-eminently adapted for suspending in 
baskets Is. 6d. to
