There is no reasonwhy such a hybrid should not occur, these two plants beingmuch more closely related than is indicated by their the other hand, L. gibba is a variable plant, and I in-cline to the view that this and other supposed hybrids ofthe same kind are merely sports from that plant. At Kewthere are plants of L. gibba which are as broad in bothbarren and fertilepinnte as the Blechnum and others showing. ?ff^tf a
