writes, “I was with Addison when he found it, and Т thought it 
then a good semilacerum ; it, however, improved very much by 
cultivation, but when it went into Messrs. Stansfield's hands I had 
no idea of its great excellence; I sold it for the young man to 
Messrs. Stansfield for 15s., the whole find. 
“1 have now in my collection three distinct strains of this plant, 
—all very different ; on one the fronds are very long and broad, 
the sori abundant and large; on another the fronds are longish 
and lax, sori few and small; on the third the fronds are thick, 
short, and almost deltoid, sori few and small.”
