The leaves are flaccid and distant below, increasing in size and density above. The upper lobe increases pro- portionately in size above and in some cases the lobes become subequal; the margins are never so strongly den- tate as in the preceding, and the lower are frequently nearly entire. The lower lobes are as broad as long or even broader. The spores mature somewhat earlier than in the preceding. The figure of the entire plant is too plants are often found twice as Figure ioi.
