Ву Mr. Wollaston. The forms of Polypodium vulgare semi- 
lacerum may fairly be considered analogous to Ше decompositum 
forms of Polystichum angulare, and in either case the character 
can generally be developed, to a certain extent, from the normal 
form by luxuriant growth. 
Some of the finest of the very numerous forms of semzlacerum 
have been found by Mr. Barnes, Mr. Wollaston, and Mr. Barnard 
Hankey. 
* The name semz/acerum was originally given by Professor Link 
of Berlin, and was adopted by me for the British plant (Ze. the 
Irish) believing it to be the same.”—Note by Mr. Moore.
