Throughout most of the grape fern's range,especially near the seaboard, there is an interesting va- riety whose principal erence is that the foliage is very finely cted, the ultimate segments ending nder Y-shaped divisions, that give it ry fine and lace-like appearance. This was formerly known as the variety dis- sccttun but some botanists now incline to give it specific rank. If this is a distinct species, its resemblance to B. obliqmim is truly re- markable. It affects the same habitats, fruits at the same time and has the same trick of waiting until.
