1388. L. Filix-mas, Presl. Native. British. 
Dryogjteris, Schott. A very variable species. The three forms 
defined in the new edition of Newman’s British Ferns, affinis, 
Borreri, and abbreviata, all occur occasionally. 
1389. L. rigida, Presl. Native. Local. 
Et seq. Lophodium, Newm. Seven Forks of Whernside, near 
Ingleton ! — S. Thompson. 
1390. L. spinulosa, Presl. Native. English. 
Loph. spinosum, Newm. Woods, thickets, and boggy heathy 
places; not unfrequent. Bingley, near Bradford ! — Dr. Airiley. 
Woods about Castle Howard! — H. Ibbotson! M. B. Slater. Forge 
valley, near Scarborough! — W. Bean. Kildale, Cleveland! — W. 
Muclcl. Askham bogs, near York, Leckby Carr, near Thirsk, and 
other localities. When growing in boggy ground it approaches 
closely L. uliginosum, Newm! 
1391. L. dilatata, Presl. Native. British. 
L. multiflorum, Newm. Woods, thickets, and hedgebanks ; common. 
Frequently more or less glandular (vide Phyt., iii. 722} ; but I have 
not seen anything in Yorkshire which coincides exactly with my 
authenticated examples of L. glandulosum, Newm., (from Ankle- 
bury hill, Forest of Dean, Gloucester! — W. H. Purchas.) L. colli- 
num, Neivm., occasionally occurs. 
1392. L. Fgenisecii, Watson. Native. Atlantic ? 
In similar situations to the preceding; rare. Hills about Settle 
— J. Tatham, E. Newman (Cyb. Brit., iii. 272). Plentiful in 
Forge valley, near Scarborough ! — E. Bean. Hackfall woods, near 
Bipon — T. Simpson. A specimen, labelled as having been col- 
lected at “ Richmond — J. Ward” was communicated by the 
Edinburgh Botanical Society to the author of the Cybele Britan- 
nica (vide vol. iii. page 272) ; but Mr Ward informs me, that he 
believes some mistake has arisen. 
ATHYRIUM. 
1393. A. Filix-fcemjna, Roth. Native. British. 
A. Filix-foemina, Both., A. rhseticum, Roth., and A. molle, Schreb., 
are all three tolerably frequent ; the last in shady woods, the 
others in more exposed situations. Possibly they are distinct 
species. 
A. fontanum, Presl. Incognit. 
“ I have a specimen given to meas a Teesdale plant, but probably 
under some mistake”! — S. Gibson (Phyt.,-!. 452). Near Skipton 
castle, 1835 — S. Oibson. Wharncliffe wood, 1838 — R. M. Redhead 
(Phyt , i. 1084). These three alleged localities are probably all 
erroneous. 
1395. A. viride, Huds. 
ASPLENIUM. 
Native. 
Highland.
