. 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. Fertile pinna, under side. ASPLENIUM FILIX-FCEMINA, Vak. Corymbiferum. PLATE XV. Asplenium—Spleenwort. Mlix-fcemina—Female Fern. Corymbiferum—From corymhus—a corymb, and fero—to bear. In the Section Athyeium of Authors. This most charming multifid variety of the "Lady Fern" was found in Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands, several years ago, by Mr. J. James, of Vauvert, and is a valuable addition to our hardy Ferns. The fronds are moderately large, and in habit this Fern closely resembles the normal form of the above species. Being very readily propagated by spores, this lovely variety has rapidly found its way into all good collections. The apex of each frond is widened out and developed into a large corymbosely fan-shaped tasseled tuft, frequently densely tufted, whilst the apex of each pinna or side division is simi- larly (although in a less degree) symmetrically tasseled, the whole outline of the frond being fringed. The pinnules are larger, and the tassels broader than in any other variety. It is flat-pinnuled, and has a red tinge. Length of frond from twelve to twenty inches. My thanks are due to Mr. J. James, of Vauvert, for fertile fronds of this elegant Fern, from the spores of which many plants have been raised.
