124 — pannoso-diffissum M. 7 
125 — Parsonsise M. 5 
126 — parviceps M 5 
127 — plumosum M . — the broadly lanceolate fronds, which attain a length 
of fully 3 feet, and a breadth of 12 inches, are almost membranceous 
in texture, are feathery, and exquisitely divided, and possess the rare 
property of bearing naked sori (at the sinuses of the narrow secondary 
pinnules): a perfectly unique variety, originally sent out from heie, 
and, despite the host of “ charming novelties,” still incomparably 
the handsomest of the large-growing, noncrested lady ferns 3s. to 21 0

131 — Pritchardii Stansf . — this beautiful form, in our last catalogue, was re- 
ferred to Fieldice, but, after growing it for several years, we have found 
its permanent differences of so marked a character, that we venture 
to give it a distinctive appellation. The fronds of this variety, unlike 
those of Fieldice, which are conspicuously truncate, form gracefully 
curved lines. The plant’s habit is strong and vigorous, the maximum 
length of the frond, which is extremely narrow, is over 3 feet, the pinnse 
are cross-shaped, sometimes ternate, and present the appearance, for 
at least three fourths the length of the frond, of being knotted into 
small bows £ to £ of an inch in width. Thought differing widely from 
Frisellice when mature, young plants of the two forms may, by the 
ordinary observer, be readily mistaken for each other . . 2s. Gd. to 21 0
