THE COMMON BRAKES. 243 
sub-forms of it: one, in which the apex of the frond and the apices 
of most of the primary pinne are multifidly-branched and more or 
less erisped ; the other in which the apex of the frond and of the 
primary pinne are rarely multifid, but the apices of the secondary 
pinne (pinnules) and many of the pinnulets are divided instead. 
The former we have seen from—Kent: Chislehurst, G. B. Wollaston. 
Devonshire : Chagford, Rev. J. M. Chanter. Westmoreland : Win- 
dermere, F. Clowes (combining both forms). Cumberland: Keswick, 
Miss Wright. Guernsey, C. Jackson. The latter from- Kent: 
Cobham Park, S. O. Gray. Devonshire: Barnstaple, H. F. Demp- 
ster ; Chagford, Rev. J. M. Chanter ; Ottery St. Mary, G. B. Wol- 
laston. Guernsey, Miss Isabella Wilkinson; also J. James (fine and 
combining both forms). 
4. depauperata (Woll.) This is a curiously depauperated sub- 
permanent form occasionally multifid. The fronds are sometimes 
irregularly branched, and the pinnulets (or rather the shortened 
lobes) are decurrent, and depauperated or occasionally interrupted. 
It has been found near Chislehurst, Kent, by Mr. Wollaston ; at 
Bowness, in Cumberland, by Mr. Wood ; and at Marwood, near 
Barnstaple, by the Rev. F. Mules.
