88 — Fieldise 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 trilobate, 
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

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 
no means a tardy or shy grower. The fronds, which vary from 12 
to 18 inches in length, and from £ to 1 inch in breadth, are of a 
peculiarly vivid green; habit slender, graceful, drooping: pinnae 
crenately fan-shaped; some- of the fronds have an occasional pinna 
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 . .2s. 6d. to 10

character of the tassels, both terminally and laterally. A most beau- 
tiful fern . . 3s. 6d. to 5
