. A natural history of new and rare ferns : containing species and varieties, none of which are included in any of the eight volumes of "Ferns, British and exotic", amongst which are the new hymenophyllums and Trichomanes . Ferns. SCOLOPENDRIUM VULGARE, VAR. PAPILLOSUM. 57 The size and outline of this Fern is normal, sometimes, however, as in the Oldstead examples, being widest at the centre of the frond. The margin (and more especially in the upper portion) is distinctly crenato-lobate, and occasionally sub-undulated. Sori abundant and prominent beneath, and distinctly supra- sorife

The margin (and more especially in the upper portion) is distinctly crenato-lobate, and occasionally sub-undulated. Sori abundant and prominent beneath, and distinctly supra- soriferous above, the latter often large. Length of frond from twelve to fifteen inches.
