BRITISH FERNS 
XVIII 
LASTREA PSEUDO-MAS, var, RAMOSISSIMA (Moore) 
The late Mr. Robert Wright, Parkfield, Stone, Staffordshire. 
N. Wales. 1864. 
Syn. RAMO-CRISTATA (Woll.) 
By Mr. Parsons. This variety has never been reproduced 
from seed. Мг. Parsons considers that he has raised the variety 
cristata from it, but probably like its counterparts in Р. angulare, 
and with A. f. f., viz:, acrocladon, it is barren. 
It is maintained by more than one good authority that Z. ps.-mas 
一 and that only—can be raised from spores of 2, ps.-mas ramo- 
sissima. Plants іп Mr. Wollaston's collection— said to have been 
raised in this way—seem certainly smaller and paler in colour than 
the common cristata.
