BRITISH FERNS 
XXIX 
LASTREA FILIX-MAS, var. BOLLANDLE (Moore) 
Mrs. Bolland. Kent. 1857. 
A jiin 
Syn. PLUMOSA ( Woll.) 
By Mr. Clowes. The only plumose form of the species yet 
known. Mrs. Bolland states that she found it growing in a hedge 
entirely apart from other Ferns. As it occasionally bears a few 
spores, attempts have been made to raise a form free from the 
depauperation which always detracts more or less from its beauty. 
The most promising results have been obtained by Dr. Allchin, 
but the experiments are as yet too recent to be quite relied on.
