William Talbot, late of Glasnevin Gardens. Co. Cork. 1861. 
TL л. 
Under glass by Мг. Wollaston. Found by a boy employed at 
the Glasnevin Gardens. Mr. W. H. Phillips records the discovery 
in Co. Antrim in 1877 of another plant, which is practically 
identical with this. Мг. Moly has two forms from South Devon, 
very closely allied toit. The plant found by the late J. J. Jones in 
Pembrokeshire, and distributed by Messrs. Stansfield under the 
name of 2. ang. Jonesii, and which has at times been classed аз 
aculeatum, is generally regarded as another form of P. ang. grandı- 
ceps. Mr. Wills’ grandiceps is a fine compact plant, but does 
not partake of the narrowness of frond that marks the true forms 
of grandiceps. Mr. Moly’s robust form, called grandiceps Moly 
by Mr. Wollaston, departs still more in this respect from the typical 
grandiceps.
