Blechnum L. 
Spicant crispatum ill 
— crispum W. 
— cristatum W. 
— deficiens 31. . . . . . . 5 
— erosura ill. 5 
— flabellatum 31. 5 
— heterophyllum W . — fronds exceedingly varied, some nearly normal, 
others depauperated throughout, others again, with pinnae projecting 
beyond the margin, intermixed with abbreviated and normal pinnae : 
a curious variety 5 
— imbricatum 31 . — frond nearly ovate, 6 to 8 inches long, lobes obtusely 
ovate, turgid, very much tiled, so as to make the frond appear almost 
double, fertile fronds very little longer than the barren : a univer- 
sally admired fern 3s. 6d. to 10 
— imbricato-erectum Stansf . — this differs from the last in the frond 
being of more uniform width (not ovate but rather strap-shaped) ; 
the lobes are thickly tiled ; the lobes of the fertile fronds turn back 
so as almost to form a cylinder. Its erect mode of growth and com- 
pactness render it very striking. New and highly desirable 3s. 6d. to 5 
— lancifolium W . — fronds entire for about £ their length, narrow, depau- 
perated downwardly, fertile frond longer than the barren, most of 
the lobes being much abbreviated 2s. 6d. to 3 
anomalum Stansf. 10 
— latifrons 31. 2 
— minimum 31 5 
— Monkmanii Stansf. 
— multifurcatum 31, 
— mundulum 31 5 
— pauperculum 31. 5 
— polydactylon 31 . — this interesting variety is less than the species, 
though the fronds are larger than those of var. ramosum, its nearest 
ally. Each frond terminates in a beautiful many-fingered 
crest 2s. 6d. to 5 
— porrectum 31. 
— projectum M . — a more extraordinary sport than this is, perhaps, not 
in cultivation — the 8 to 12 inches fronds are narrow ( \ to i inch), in 
some, the lobes are entirely wanting, there being, instead, laminae, 
so to speak, almost continuous, on each side the rachis ; in others, the 
lobes are extremely short, but at intervals come out to the usual 
length ; not unfrequently the frond throws off branches in the most 
curious fashion, sometimes directly at right angles to the main 
rachis : highly desirable 3s. 6d. to 5 
— ramosum Kinahan — variously branched, all the fronds splendidly 
crested at the ends — often confounded with B. S. cristatum 2s. to 5 
anomalum Stansf. 10 
— repandum 31. 3s. 6d. to 5 
— SerraAJ. t 5 
— serratum rigidum Stansf . — fronds about 9 inches long, distinctly pin- 
nate, mostly crested at the ends, pinnae distant, serrated on both the 
upper and lower sides ; the whole plant extremely rigid : a very fine 
and distinct variety . . 21 
— serrulatum Stansf. . . . . . . . . 5 
— strictum Francis — less than the species, lobes prettily toothed, many 
of them laciniate and depauperate 2s. 6d. to 5 
— subcrenato-interruptum Stansf. 5 
— subserratum 31. 5 
— subserrato -imbricatum Stansf. 5 
— trinervium W. 7 
— undulatum 31. — new, very fine 21
