PUBLISHERS'    NOTE. 


The  following  Volume,  containing  the  descriptions  of  British  Crypto- 
gamous  Plants,  completes  the  3rd  Edition  of  '  English  Botany ' 
within  the  limits  proposed  by  its  Editor,  Mr.  Boswell  (Syme),  with  the 
exception  of  such  supplementary  and  additional  matter  as  the  progress 
of  time  since  its  publication  has  rendered  necessary.  Unfortunately, 
the  failure  of  Mr.  Boswell's  health  prevented  him  from  finishing  his 
work,  and  its  completion  is  due  to  Mr.  N.  E.  Brown,  of  the  Royal 
Herbarium,  Kew,  who  had  previously  undertaken  the  drawings  of 
some  of  the  plants,  and  has  ably  supplemented  the  incomplete 
descriptions. 

He  has  also  undertaken  the  arduous  work  of  revising  the  Latin 
Indices  of  the  several  Volumes  which  now,  incorporated  with  the 
English  indices,  and  with  a  new  one  of  French  and  German  names, 
furnish  for  the  first  time  a  complete  Index  to  the  whole  work.

ferring to  it,  and  add  the  synonymy  to  that  of  N.  glomerata. 
Messrs.  Groves  having  intimated  in  the  Journal  of  Botany, 
1885,  p.  350,  that  they  had  found  nucules  on  Mr.  Borrer's 
Lancing  specimen,  induced  me  to  re-examine  it,  and  in  a  fertile 
head  taken  from  another  part  of  the  specimen,  I  find  some  ex- 
tremely young  nucules  in  their  first  stages  of  development ;  the 
two  heads  previously  examined  by  me  were  probably  too  young, 
as  I  could  find  nothing  of  the  kind  upon  them,  although  care- 
fully searched  for  under  a  power  of  450  diameters.  The  var. 
Smithii  must  therefore  be  considered  to  be  founded  upon  an 
immature  state  of  N.  glomerata. 

Strike  out  these  lines  beginning  at  the  words  '  The  plant,'  &c,  as 
there  is  a  specimen  of  N.  prolifera  from  the  Glasnevin  Canal  in

As  this  is  the  normal  position  of  the  globules  in  the  group  to 
which  this  species  belongs,  a  further  discovery  of  monoecious

ENGLISH  BOTANY. 


SUBKINGDOM  II. 

CRYPTOGAMIA,  or  FLOWERLESS  PLANTS. 

Plaxts  destitute  of  flowers  furnished  with  special  organs  of  repro- 
duction (stamens  and  pistils),  but  producing  spores,  which  differ  from 
seeds  in  containing  no  embryo  previous  to  germination.  The  plants 
have,  however,  at  some  period  of  their  growth,  bodies  which  represent 
the  male  and  female  organs  of  flowering  plants,  which  are  so  various 
that  they  must  be  described  under  each  separate  Class  or  Order. 

CLASS  L— VASCULARE  S. 

Herbs,  usually  perennial,  very  rarely  annual,  rarely  trees,  which 
have  a  stem  composed  of  cellular  tissue  in  which  are  imbedded  closed 
fibro-vascular  bundles,  the  whole  covered  by  an  epidermis,  producing 
adventitious  roots  and  leaves,  or  representatives  of  leaves  with  various 
venation.  Spores  produced  without  fertilisation,  included  in  spore 
cases  which  are  either  enclosed  in  sporocarps  (modified  leaves),  or 
naked  in  the  axils  of  the  leaves  or  on  the  back  of  the  leaves,  or  on  the 
under  side  of  peltate  hexagonal  plates  collected  into  a  terminal  cone. 
Male  and  female  organs  produced  on  a  prothallium,  which  is  the 
result  of  the  germination  of  the  spore.  The  prothallium  is  sometimes 
simply  a  growth  of  cellular  tissue  which  protrudes  from  the  spores 
after  the  latter  have  burst,  but  in  other  cases  it  grows  out  into  a  scale 
resembling  a  Liverwort,  and  has  an  independent  existence  sometimes 
lasting  for  months.  In  either  case,  the  female  organs  (archegonia)  are 
formed  in  the  prothallium,  their  essential  part  consisting  of  a  cell 
{nospliere),  enclosed  in  the  tissue  of  the  prothallium,  and  having  an 

VOL.  XTT.  B 


2  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

open  protruding  neck  :  the  male  organs  consist  of  spiral  ciliated 
threads  {antherozoids),  produced  from  cells  (antheridia),  either  formed 
upon  or  in  the  prothallium  or  contained  in  separate  spores  from  those 
which  produce  the  prothallium  which  developes  the  archegonia. 

ORDER  LXXXIX.— M  ARSILIACEjE. 

Aquatic  or  marsh  plants  with  creeping  rooting  branched  root- 
stocks.  Leaves  alternate,  erect,  filiform,  without  any  lamina,  or  with 
a  lamina  composed  of  4  equal,  obovate,  entire  or  retuse  leaflets  ;  in 
either  case  with  circinate  vernation.  Sporangia  contained  in  cap- 
sules or  sporocarps,  subsessile  in  the  axils  of  the  leaves  or  more  or  less 
longly  stalked  and  springing  from  the  lower  part  of  the  leaf,  globular 
or  ovoid,  often  hairy  at  least  when  young,  2-  to  4-celled  vertically, 
2-  to  4-valved.  Spores  of  two  kinds,  the  larger  (inacrosjwres)  solitary 
in  each  macrosporangium,  the  smaller  (microspores)  numerous  in 
each  microsporangium.  Macrosporangia  and  microsporangia  included 
in  the  same  sporocarp.  Prothallium  developed  from  a  papilla  at  the 
apex  of  the  macrospcre  ;  its  oosphere,  after  being  fertilised  by  the 
antherozoids  discharged  from  the  microspores,  developes  and  forms 
I  lie  new  plant. 

GENUS  /.— PILULARIA.     Linn. 

Sjiorocarps  subglobular  subsessile  and  erect,  or  shortly  stalked  and 
bent  down,  2-  or  4-celled,  2-  or  4-valved  at  the  apex. 

Aquatic  herbs,  with  slender  branched  creeping  stems  and  setaceous 
leaves  without  any  lamina. 

Name  derived  from  pilula,  a  pill,  which  the  sporocarps  resemble. 

SPECIES  I.-PILUL ARIA  GLOBULIFERA.    Linn. 

Plate  1825. 
Rabenhorst,  Cryptogams  Yasculares  Europese  Exsiccatte,  No.  27. 

Sporocarps  subglobose,  4-celled,  4-valved,  3  or  4  times  longer  than 
their  peduncle,  erect.  Microspores  numerous,  ovoid,  constricted  in 
the  middle.     Microspores  without  a  gelatinous  covering. 

On  the  margins  of  lakes  and  ponds,  usually  in  shallow  water,  but 
left  growing  in  the  damp  mud  in  summer.  The  Rev.  W.  W.  Spicer 
says,  that  in  September  he  found  it  in  a  pond  near  Guildford,  Surrey, 
in  water  40  inches  deep.     (Phyt.  1851,  p.  3.r>0.) 


marsiliacej:.  6 

Rather  sparingly  but  generally  distributed  from  Cornwall  and 
Sussex,  northwards  to  Skye  and  Sutherland.  Rare  in  Ireland,  where 
it  has  been  noticed  in  the  west,  and  more  plentifully  in  the 
north-east. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Rootstock  long,  creeping,  filiform,  sparingly  branched,  glabrous 
except  at  the  growing  apex,  which  is  clothed  with  hairs,  producing 
1  or  more  adventitious  roots  at  each  point  from  which  leaves  are 
given  off.  Leaves  1  to  4  inches  long,  2  to  4  together  at  intervals 
along  the  rootstock,  erect,  deep  green,  smooth,  with  a  few  very  minute 
hairs  or  papilke,  the  young  ones  coiled  up  at  the  apex  like  the  fronds 
of  a  Fern.  Sporocarps  solitary  in  the  axils  of  the  leaves,  very  shortly 
stalked,  globose,  slightly  pointed,  resembling  small  peppercorns,  at 
first  hairy,  at  length  glabrous,  divided  parallel  to  the  axis  into  4  cells, 
with  a  parietal  placenta  running  clown  each  ;  to  this  placenta  the 
sporangia  are  attached,  forming  a  sorus.  Lower  sporangia  in  each 
sorus  a  dozen  or  more,  each  containing  a  single  macrospore ;  upper- 
most sporangia  of  the  sorus  containing  numerous  microspores  :  in 
either  case  the  sporangia  are  small  thin  hyaline  walled  sacs  which 
eventually  burst  and  discharge  their  spores,  which  escape  enveloped 
in  the  jelly  which  fills  the  sporangia,  and  by  its  expansion  causes 
their  rupture.  Ripe  microspores  enveloped  in  a  gelatinous  coat, 
furnished  with  a  small  projection  at  the  apex,  formed  by  the  protrusion 
of  the  inner  layer  of  the  spore,  which  is  torn  into  shreds.  Underneath 
all  this  there  is  a  collection  of  protoplasm,  from  which  is  developed 
the  prothallium ;  for  the  details  of  this,  see  Hoffmeister  on  the 
Higher  Cryptogamia,  translated  by  Currie,  pp.  318  to  324. 

Pillwort,  or  Pepper -grass. 

ORDER  XC— I  SOETACE^. 

Aquatic  or  terrestrial  plants  consisting  of  a  fleshy  depressed  2-  to  4- 
lobed  corm,  producing  simple  or  forked  root-fibres,  and  giving  rise 
to  rush-like  leaves  with  dilated  bases,  which  are  sometimes  per- 
sistent. Leaves  subulate  or  linear,  containing  4  air- tubes,  with 
transverse  partitions,  furnished  with  stomata  in  some  species. 
Sporangia  solitary,  immersed  in  the  inner  face  of  the  dilated  base 
of  the  leaves  to  which  they  are  connected  by  their  backs,  crossed 
internally  by  threads  affixed  to  their  upper  and  under  sides  ;  the 
sporangia  of  the  outer  leaves  containing  numerous  macrospores,  those 
of  the  inner  leaves  containing  very  numerous  microspores.  Some 
species  have  phyllodee,  or  barren    leaves,  on   the  conn  between   the 


4  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

leaves  bearing  macrosporangia  and  those  bearing  microsporangia. 
Macrospores  large,  with  a  whitish  crustaceous  integument,  sub- 
globular,  trigonous  towards  the  apex,  the  division  between  the  hemi- 
spherical and  the  trigonous  portion,  and  those  between  the  three  faces 
of  the  trigonous  part  marked  by  elevated  lines,  the  trigonous  portion 
ultimately  opening  into  three  valves.  Microspores  very  numerous 
and  very  minute,  grey,  oblong-trigonous,  marked  by  a  single  line. 
Macrospore  developing  a  prothallium  at  its  apex,  which  has  its 
oosphere  fertilised  by  the  antherozoids  developed  in  the  microspores, 
as  in  the  Marsiliacese. 

GENUS  L—I  S  O  E  T  E  S.     Linn. 
The  only  genus.     Characters  the  same  as  those  of  the  Order. 

Name  from  Tcros  (isos),  equal,  and  eros  (etos),  year,  from  the  plant  having  the  same 
appearance  all  the  year  round. 

SPECIES  I.-I  S  O  E  T  E  S    LACUSTRIS.    Linn. 

Plates  1826  and  1827.

Yar.  a.  genuina. 

Plate  1826. 

Leaves  rarely  exceeding  6  or  7  inches  in  length,  stout,  more  or  less 
recurved  when  the  plants  are  not  crowded ;  the  membranous  margins 
usually  rather  narrower  than  the  firm  portion  of  the  leaf-base. 

Tar.  /3.  Morei. 
Plate  1826*. 
I.  Morei,  D.  Moore  in  Journal  of  Botany  (i878),  p.  353. 

Leaves  1  to  2  feet  long  or  more  ;  more  slender  and  more  tapering 
than  in  var.  a,  erect,  or  with  the  apices  floating ;  the  membranous 
margins  usually  as  broad  as  the  firm  portion  of  the  leaf-base. 
Macrospores  in  more  saccate  cavities,  and  fewer  in  number,  and 
microspores  smaller  than  in  var.  a. 

Yar.  a  occurs  in  lakes,  growing  submerged  in  the  water,  almost 
confined  to  hilly  districts.  In  YTales  it  is  frequent  in  Carnarvonshire, 
and  occurs  also  in  Merioneth  and  Denbigh.  Frequent  in  the  Lake 
district.  In  Scotland  it  occurs  in  most  of  the  counties  from  the  Forth 
and  Clyde  north  to  Caithness  and  Sutherland.  Dr.  A.  P.  Duguid 
found  it  in  Loch  of  Carness,  Orkney.  In  Ireland  it  occurs  from 
north  to  south,  chiefly  in  mountainous  districts,  and  most  plentiful  in 
the  west  and  north. 

Yar.  /3  is  found  wholly  submerged,  or  with  the  leaves  floating  on 
the  water,  in  the  Upper  Lough  of  Bray,  Co.  Wicklow. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Conn  from  the  size  of  a  cherry-stone  to  that  of  a  hazel-nut,  dark 
brown  exteriorly,  white  when  cut  through.  Root-fibres  developed 
from  the  furrow  which  traverses  the  bottom  of  the  corm,  simple  or 
once  or  twice  forked  towards  the  apex,  brown.  Leaves  2  inches  to 
1  foot  long,  deep  green,  rather  rigid,  tapering,  usually  recurved  and 
diverging  or  erect ;  their  bases  dilated,  with  membranous  pale  yellow 
edges,  withering  and   ultimately  rotting  off  from  the   corm   without 


6  ENGLISH    BOTAXY. 

becoming  hard  ;  bases  of  the  lowest  leaves  containing  macrosporangia, 
and  the  upper  ones  microsporangia.  Sporangia  ovoid,  about  the  size 
of  wheat  or  barley  grains,  immersed  in  the  substance  of  the  leaf  to 
which  they  are  attached  by  the  back,  and  more  or  less  covered  by  a 
membranous  outgrowth  from  the  margin  of  the  fovea  or  depression 
in  the  leaf  termed  the  velum.  Immediately  above  the  fovea  which 
contains  the  sporangium,  there  is  a  transverse  pit  in  the  leaf  termed 
the  foveola.  The  margin  of  this  foveola  nearest  the  sporangium  is 
elevated,  and  forms  the  labium,  and  from  the  bottom  of  the  pit  there 
rises  a  membranous  scale  (lingule),  attached  by  a  broad  base  and 
acuminated  upwards.  Macrospores  -g^  inch  in  diameter,  furnished 
with  prominent  tubercles  whose  height  does  not  exceed  the  breadth 
of  their  base.  The  prothallium  is  formed  at  the  apex  of  the  macro- 
spore,  and  eventually  ruptures  it,  the  macrospore  opening  by  3  sutures 
corresponding  with  the  converging  lines  at  the  apex. 

Var.  /3  is  a  very  remarkable  form,  and  may  be  a  distinct  subspecies, 
as  which  Dr.  D.  Moore  has  described  it ;  and  in  this  view  of  it  he  is 
supported  by  the  authority  of  Prof.  Oaruel  of  Pisa,  Prof.  Duval-Jeune 
and  Martius  of  Montpellier,  and  Dr.  Ascherson  of  Berlin,  who  all 
consider  it  distinct  from  any  described  species. 

It  is  with  great  reluctance  that  I  express  an  opinion  different  from 
that  of  such  great  authorities,  especially  as  I  have  not  had  an  oppor- 
tunity of  seeing  the  plant  in  a  recent  state  ;  but  the  most  careful 
comparison  of  the  specimens  of  I.  Morei  (which  the  late  Dr.  Moore 
has  kindly  sent  me)  with  those  of  genuine  I.  eu-lacustris  leads  me  to 
the  conclusion  that  it  is  impossible  to  separate  it  even  as  a  subspecies. 
From  the  time  of  Dillenius  it  has  been  known  that  there  are  two 
forms  of  Isoetes  eu-lacustris,  found  growing  in  the  same  places,  viz. 
a  solitary  form  in  which  the  leaves  are  thicker,  shorter  spreading,  and 
more  or  less  recurved,  and  another  form,  var.  /3,  Smith  (Calamaria  folio 
longiore  et  graciliore,  Dill.),  a  gregarious  form,  in  which  the  leaves 
are  flaccid,  longer,  more  slender,  and  more  brittle.  Modern  British 
authors  regard  these  as  states,  and  not  varieties  of  the  plant.  Smith 
advanced  the  untenable  hypothesis  that  the  tall  and  slender  variety 
might  perhaps  "  be  caused  by  those  sudden  risings  of  the  waters  so 
frequent  in  mountainous  countries."  But  as  the  stout  recurved-leaved 
plants  grow  in  the  same  lake  as  the  others,  this  is  evidently  a 
fallacious  idea.  Mr.  E.  Newman  no  doubt  has  pointed  out  the  true 
cause  of  the  variation  of  the  plant,  viz.  that  many  of  the  spores 
"  remain  in  the  capsule  and  there  germinate,  throwing  up  dense  tufts 
of  slender  leaves  of  a  delicate  green  colour.  I  am  indebted  to  Miss 
Beever  for  specimens  which  beautifully  exhibit  this  germination  of 
the  seeds  in  situ,  the  parent  plant  and  its  offspring  having  been  dried 
while  in  the  most  favourable  state  for  displaying  this  peculiarity,  to 
which  Miss  Beever  particularly  called  my  attention.  These  young 
plants  rapidly  increase  in  size,  send  their  roots  downwards  into 
the  earth,   and  their   leaves   upwards  into  the  water  ;  and  from  the

crowding  incident  on  this  condition  of  the  seedling  plants  the 
elongate  and  slender  leaves  would  naturally  result."  (Hist.  Brit. 
Ferns,  ed.  ii.  p   302.)  * 

Every  one  who  has  gathered  I.  eu-lacustris  must  be  familiar  with 
this  form,  and  to  my  eves  I.  Morei  seems  to  be  merely  a  greatly 
developed  state  of  this  crowded  form  of  I.  eu-lacustris.  No  doubt,  as 
Dr.  Moore  says,  in  habit  it  resembles  I.  setacea  Delille,  and  I.  velata 
A.  Braun,  but  in  the  structure  of  the  conn,  of  the  leaves,  and  of  the 
velum  it  differs  from  these  plants,  and  agrees  perfectly  with  I.  eu- 
lacustris  ;  for  both  I.  setacea  and  I.  velata  have  the  leaves  furnished 
with  6  peripherical  bast-fibres. 

Dr.  Moore  says  it  differs  from  I.  eu-lacustris  "in  the  veil  which 
covers  the  macrosporangia  being  one-half  longer,  leaving  only  one- 
third  of  the  spores  naked  ;"  but  according  to  my  experience  the  velum 
in  I.  eu-lacustris  does  usually  leave  only  one-third  of  the  spores  naked. 
The  macrospores  seem  quite  similar  in  vars.  a  and  /3. 

Attention  was  called  to  this  remarkable  form  by  Mr.  A.  Gr.  More 
in  1871,  but  it  was  not  until  November  1876  that  Dr.  Moore  obtained 
living  specimens.  These  and  some  of  the  ordinary  state  he  found 
retained  their  respective  character  in  cultivation.

Very  similar  to  I.  eu-laeustris,  but  according  to  Professor 
Babington  the  plants  may  be  distinguished  when  growing  by  the 
"  spreading  leaves  and  pale  green  colour,"  in  contrast  "  with  the  dark 
tint  and  usually  erect  leaves  of  I.  eu-lacustris."  The  only  place 
where  I  have  collected  this  plant  is  in  the  Loch  of  Drum  in  1850  and 
1851.  There  the  fronds  are  2  to  6  inches  long,  spreading,  flaccid, 
fragile,  pellucid,  pale  green,  with  a  large  portion  of  the  base  paler  :  but 
the  Xorth  American  form,  var.  Braunii,  is  described  bv  Dr.  Eno-el- 
mann  as  having  the  "  leaves  dark,  and  often  olive-green,  straight  or 
commonly  recurved,"  while  another  American  variety  Boothii  has 
bright  green  stiffly-erect  leaves.  Both  these  American  forms  have 
stomata  on  the  leaves,  which,  so  far  as  I  know,  have  not  been 
observed  in  any  European  specimens,  except  some  from  '  Iceland ' 
(Mikle).  The  threads  in  the  interior  of  the  sporangia  are  more 
thickened,  but  the  only  conspicuous  difference  between  the  subspecies 
is  that  the  tubercles  on  the  macrospores  of  I.  echinospora  are  very 
much  longer  and  more  acute  than  in  I.  -eu-lacustris. 

Probably  the  plant  will  be  found  in  other  stations,  having  been 
passed  over  as  I.  eu-lacustris.

Channel  Islands.     Perennial.     Summer. 

Conn  in  the  Guernsey  specimens  I  have  seen  about  the  size  of  a 
pea,  enclosed  in  a  kind  of  husk  formed  by  the  greatly  hardened 
persistent  bases  of  the  former  leaves,  until  it  attains  a  bulk  about 
that  of  a  hazel-nut.  The  leaf  scales  or  phyllopodia  are  i  inch  long, 
concave,  pitchy  black,  the  uppermost  ones  terminated  by  3  teeth  not 
above  TVth  inch  long,  and  often  shorter.  The  lower  scales  are  in  a 
decaying  state,  and  have  the  teeth  broken  off;  and  sometimes  the 
whole  of  the  scales  begin  to  decay  as  soon  as  they  are  matured  by 
the  deposition  in  them  of  dark  coloured  tissue.  Leaves  1|-  to  2^  inches 
long,  deep  dull  green,  something  like  those  of  Scilla  autumnalis, 
strongly  recurved,  flattish  above,  and  acutely  convex  beneath,  so  as  to 
have  a  trigonous  section,  pellucid  towards  the  base,  which  is  greatly 
dilated  over  the  sporangia,  which  are  about  the  size  of  grains  of 
pearl  barley,  and  concealed  by  the  velum.  On  the  back  of  the  pale 
enlarged  leaf-base  there  is  a  band  covered  with  small  tubercles 
extending  as  far  as  the  sporangium  does.  Macrospores  much  smaller 
than  those  of  I.  lacustris,  and  with  much  less  prominent  tubercles 
than  even  in  I.  eu-lacustris,  and  forming  beaded  lines,  from  their  bases 
coalescing. 

The  above  description  is  not  that  of  the  typical  I.  Hystrix. 
([.  Hystrix  forma  loricata,  Rabenh.  1.  c.  No.  101),  which  has  per- 
sistent scales  terminated  by  lateral  spines  ^  or  even  ^  inch  long,  with 
a  short  intermediate  tooth,  and  a  bulb  from  the  size  of  a  hazel-nut  to 
that  of  a  walnut. 

The  Jersey  plant  agrees  well  with  I.  Hystrix  forma  desquamata

A  specimen  of  this  is  included  in  Sherard's  '  Herbarium,'  but 
without  any  record  of  locality ;  with  it,  according  to  the  Rev. 
W.  W.  Spicer,  there  is  a  label  in  the  form  of  a  paragraph  from 
Ray's  'Synopsis,'  ed.  iii.  From  this  it  would  seem  Lobel  (1570) 
supposed  it  to  have  been  gathered  on  the  Mendip  Hills,  Somerset ; 
and  Merrett  (16G7)  by  the  Thames  side  at  the  Neathouses  and 
Kingsbridge,  Middlesex.  The  last  certainly  an  error ;  the  former 
probably  so.     See  Phyt.  1851,  p.  384.

1-  to  3-celled,  1-  to  3-valved.  Spores  uniform,  all  extremely  minute.  In 
the  only  case  in  which  germinating  spores  have  been  observed  (those 
of  Lycopodium  annotinmn),  they  had  produced  an  irregularly  lobed 
subterranean  prothallium,  destitute  of  chlorophyll,  sparingly  furnished 
with  small  root-hairs ;  the  upper  surface  has  numerous  grooves  and 
protuberances,  in  which  antheridia  and  archegonia  were  found  con- 
taining antherozoids.  The  archegonimn  was  not  observed,  but  the 
position  it  would  occupy  is  indicated  by  the  germinating  plants.  See 
Sachs'  '  Text  Book  of  Botany,'  translated  by  Bennett  and  Dyer, 
p.  400.  This  agrees  quite  with  the  reproduction  of  Ophioglossiacese, 
with  which  Berkeley  has  pointed  out  their  connection  previous  to  the 
discovery  of  the  prothallium  mentioned  above.  See  'Introduction  to

On  heaths,  rocks,  and  barren  places,  chiefly  on  mountainous  dis-

plant  in  the  low-lying  counties  of  England.  Frequent  and  widely 
distributed  throughout  Ireland. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Stem  short,  or  at  least  the  rooting  part  of  it,  leafy  to  the  base,  often 
reddish,  forking  2  to  5  times  into  branches  from  2  to  7  inches  long, 
very  rarely  a  foot  long ;  these  branches  rise  from  the  procumbent 
part  of  the  stem  with  a  rather  sudden  curve,  and  when  growino-  on 
rocks  or  beside  hollows  they  frequently  dip  downwards  before  they 
ascend.  Leaves  ^  to  -^  inch  long,  those  on  the  lower  part  of  the  stem 
generally  spreading  or  reflexed,  and  those  in  the  upper  part  of  the 
branches  adpressed,  but  every  intermediate  form  occurs  between  the 
extremes  of  the  leaves  being  all  adpressed,  or  all  spreading;  thev  are 
convex,  beneath  bright  green  or  olive,  and  have  no  evident  midrib. 
Generally  the  branches  are  quite  continuous,  but  sometimes  they  are 
slightly  annotinous,  with  slight  indications  of  the  annual  growth. 
There  is  no  marked  division  between  the  spikes  and  the  branches,  the 
leaves  in  the  axils  of  which  there  are  sporangia,  being  quite  similar  to 
the  others.  The  sporangia  are  sometimes  confined  to  the  apex  of  the 
branches,  but  more  usually  are  spread  over  the  greater  part  of  their 
erect  portion.  On  the  upper  part  of  the  stem  small  buds  or  bulbils, 
developed  from  the  upper  leaves,  are  to  be  found.  These  bulbils  are 
formed  in  an  irregular  6-cleft  calyx-like  body,  developed  out  of  the 
upper  leaves ;  the  bulbils  consist  of  5  lobes,  of  which  2  remain  small, 
while  the  others  develope  into  oval  leaf-like  bodies,  ultimately  at 
least  as  long  as  and  much  broader  than  the  leaves  of  the  plant.  The 
bulbils  appear  to  germinate  whether  they  remain  on  the  plant  or  fall 
to  the  ground.  A  detailed  account  of  them  will  be  found  in  Xewman's 
'British  Ferns,'  ed.  ii.  p.  378-380,  and  '  Phytologist '  for  1844, 
pp.  84-86. 

I  have  never  seen  British  specimens  of  L.  Selago  with  the  leaves 
spinous-serrate.  Milde  includes  under  L.  Selago,  L.  suberectum, 
Lowe,  in  which  they  are  very  conspicuously  spinous-serrate ;  but 
this  plant,  from  Madeira  and  the  Azores,  seems  too  different  from 
L.  Selago  not  to  be  separated  from  it  at  least  as  a  subspecies,  to  which

Babenh.  Crypt.  Vase.  Europ.  No.  65. 

Stem  short,  creeping,  prostrate,  applied  to,  and  on  the  under  side 
actually  imbedded  in  the  ground,  simple  or  very  sparingly  branched  ; 
branches  at  first  ascending,  afterwards  prostrate.  Leaves  inserted 
all  round  the  stem,  approximate,  all  turned  upwards  and  slightly 
falcated  so  as  to  be  secund,  or  a  few  of  them  on  the  under  side  of  the 
stem  adpressed  to  it,  strap-shaped  linear,  tapering  gradually  to  a  very 
acute  point,  not  pungent  nor  bristle-pointed,  entire.  Fertile  branches 
1  on  each  stem,  rarely  2  at  intervals,  very  rarely  2  close  together, 
erect,  densely  leafy.  Leaves  on  fertile  branches  similar  to  those  of  the 
stem,  but  ascending  or  adpressed,  not  secund.  Spike  occupying  from 
half  to  one-third  of  the  upper  part  of  the  fertile  branch,  oblong- 
fusiform  or  clavate-cylindrical,  with  its  bracts  resembling  the  leaves 
but  larger,  and  broader  towards  the  base,  which  has  usually  1  tooth 
or  sometimes  2  teeth  on  each  side. 

On  damp  heaths,  growing  generally  on  peat  or  sand.  Rather 
frequent  and  generally  distributed  in  England,  with  the  exception  of 
Wales.  Rare  and  local  in  Scotland,  where  it  occurs  on  Tent's  Muir, 
Fife ;  Inverarnon,  Dumbarton ;  and  in  the  counties  of  Perth,  Forfar, 
Elgin,  Inverness,  Ross,  and  perhaps  Kincardine.  In  Ireland  it 
appears  to  be  very  scarce,  but  has  been  found  in  counties  Cork,  Kerry, 
and  in  the  Connemara  district  of  Gralway. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Stem  1  to  4  inches  long,  attached  to  the  soil  at  intervals  by  wiry 
roots.  Fertile  branches  1  to  4  inches  high.  Leaves  ^  to  ^  inch  long, 
rather  dull  green,  especially  the  older  ones,  not  shining,  with  a  slender 
midrib  and  a  narrow  hyaline  margin.  Spike  always  thicker  than  the 
fertile  branch  that  supports  it,  f  to  2  inches  long.  Bracts  -§-  to  ^j 
inch  long,  at  first  adpressed,  afterwards  spreading,  and  ultimately 
yellowish-olive.     Sporangia  transversely  oval,  opening  near  the  base. 

This  is  the  only  British  Lycopodium  in  which  the  barren  stems  are 
annual,  the  basal  portion  dying  off  each  year. 

The  American  plant,  called  L.  inundatum,  is  larger  and  stouter, 
with  much  longer  and  more  subulate  leaves,  often  with  a  few  denticu- 
lations.  The  spike  is  much  more  conspicuous  than  in  the  European 
plant,  and  begins  abruptly,  and  the  leaves  on  its  stalk  have  a  tendency 
to  be  verticillate,  and  are  more  distant.     Probably  it  ought  to   be

considered  as  a  distinct  subspecies,  and  bear  the  name  Bigelovii, 
which  is  given  to  the  larger  form  of  it.  L.  alopecuroides,  Linn., 
another  North  American  form,  seems  no  more  than  a  subspecies,  with 
the  leaves  conspicuously  ciliate,  especially  towards  the  base :  the 
whole  plant  is  much  larger  than  L.  inundatum.

Stem  very  long,  creeping,  prostrate,  much  branched ;  branches 
ascending  or  erect,  unbranched  or  irregularly  once  or  twice  dicboto- 
mous.  Leaves  inserted  all  round  the  stem,  rather  distant,  most  of 
them  turned  upwards  and  slightly  falcate  so  as  to  be  subsecund  ;  those 
the  under  side  of  the  stem  mostly  adpressed  to  it,  lanceolate  strap- 
shaped,  acute,  not  piliferous,  entire  or  faintly  denticulate  ;  leaves  on 
the  branches  5-farious,  crowded,  ascending  or  spreading  or  slightly 
reflexed,  decurrent,  linear  strap-shaped  or  narrowly  elliptical-strap- 
shaped,  acuminated  and  acute,  pungent,  remotely  serrated,  with 
callous  points  ;  those  at  the  termination  of  each  year's  growth  smaller 
and  adpressed,  which  gives  the  branches  the  appearance  of  being  con- 
stricted at  intervals.  Spikes  oblong-cylindrical,  subobtuse,  terminating 
some  of  the  branches.  Bracts  yellow,  deltoid-ovate  or  roundish, 
abruptly  acuminated  so  as  to  be  cuspidate  with  the  cusp  frequently 
drawn  out  into  a  long  point,  cordate  at  the  base,  finely  denticulate 
on  the  margins. 

On  heaths  in  mountainous  districts.  Rather  local.  On  Grlyder 
Fawr  above  Flyn-y-cwm,  Carnarvonshire ;  C  barn  wood  Forest,  Leices- 
tershire ;  Lake  district.  In  the  Scotch  highlands  it  is  more  common, 
occurring  on  the  Breadalbane,  Clova,  Braemar,  and  Inverness  moun- 
tains. It  is  reported  from  Groatfell  in  Arran,  and  I  have  collected  it 
in  the  south  of  Mull  at  an  elevation  which  from  recollection  I  should 
estimate  at  about  50  yards.  In  Orkney  it  occurs  in  Berridale,  Hoy, 
and  I  believe  in  Ronsay. 

England,  Scotland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Stem  1  or  more  yards  long,  tough,  wiry,  flexuous,  rooting  at 
distant  intervals,  sending  up  simple  or  once  or  twice  forked  branches 
3  to  9  inches  high.     Leaves  coriaceous,  almost  rigid,  green  inclining

more  or  less  to  olive,  slightly  shining,  with  a  midrib  ending  in  a  sharp, 
almost  spinous,  point.  Stem  leaves  ^-  to  ^  inch  long ;  branch  leaves 
^  to  \  inch  long,  more  serrated,  and  much  closer  together  than 
those  of  the  stem.  Spikes  ^  to  1^  inch  long,  ^  to  ^  inch  in  diameter, 
often  with  a  few  of  the  leaves  on  the  apex  of  the  branch  on  which 
it  is  placed  adpressed  and  smaller  than  the  lower  ones,  which  gives 
the  spike  the  appearance  of  being  shortly  stalked.  Bracts  of  the 
spike  variable  in  shape,  from  narrowly  ovate  to  roundish  reniform, 
subcordate  at  the  base,  sometimes  gradually  acuminated  into  a  trian- 
gular point,  at  other  times  with  a  linear  subsetaceous  cusp. 

The  North  American  plant  appears  to  be  identical  with  the 
European.

SPECIES  1V.-LYCO  PODIUM   CLAVATUM.    Linn. 

Plate  1833. 
Raberih.  Crypt.  Vase.  Europ.  No.  66. 

Stem  very  long,  creeping,  much  branched ;  branches  at  first 
ascending,  afterwards  prostrate,  unbranched  or  irregularly  dichotomous 
or  pinnate.  Leaves  inserted  all  round  the  stem,  approximate,  most 
of  them  turned  upwards  and  slightly  falcate,  so  as  to  be  subsecund ; 
those  on  the  under  side  of  the  stem  adpressed  to  it,  linear  strap- 
shaped,  acute,  piliferous,  finely  and  rather  remotely  spinous-dentate  ; 
leaves  on  the  branches  crowded,  more  closely  placed  than  on  the 
main  stem,  adpressed  or  ascending,  incurved,  similar  to  those  on  the 
stem,  but  less  denticulate  and  the  upper  ones  often  quite  entire. 
Peduncles  from  the  termination  of  short  branches,  elongate,  furnished 
with  irregular  whorls  of  small  subulate  leaves  with  membranous  den- 
ticulate margins  and  terminal  hairs,  which  are  usually  somewhat 
shorter  than  those  of  the  stem-leaves.  Spikes  in  pairs,  more  rarely 
solitary  or  three  together,  shortly  pedicellate,  linear-cylindrical  or 
oblong-cylindrical,  subobtuse.  Bracts  yellow,  deltoid-ovate,  gradually 
acuminated  into  a  long  cusp,  which,  at  least  in  the  lower  bracts,  often 
terminates  in  a  hair,  rounded  at  the  base,  finely  denticulate  on  the 
margins. 

On  heaths  and  stony  places.  Rather  frequent  and  generally  dis- 
tributed, though  more  common  in  mountainous  districts. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer. 

Stem  attaining  the  length  of  1  or  2  yards,  or  even  more  ;  -tough, 
wiry,  rooting  at  distant  intervals,  much  branched,  but  the  branches 


LYCOPODIACE.E.  17 

seldom  remain  erect  or  ascending-  after  they  are  1  or  2  inches  high. 
Leaves  ^  to  ^  inch  long,  exclusive  of  the  white  hair-like  point,  rather 
thin,  bright  green,  with  an  evident  midrib.  Peduncles  1  to  4  inches 
long,  rather  slender;  spikes  1^  to  2^  inches  long.  Bracts  at  first 
adpressed  and  greenish,  ultimately  spreading  or  reflexed  at  the  point, 
and  straw-yellow.     Sporangia  reniform. 

When  L.  clavatum  is  in  fruit  it  cannot  be  mistaken  for  any 
other  British  species,  this  being  the  only  one  which  has  the  spikes 
supported  on  a  long  slender  peduncle.  But  sometimes  when  the 
hair-like  point  of  the  leaves  is  short,  the  barren  stem  bears  some 
resemblance  to  that  of  L.  annotinum ;  the  leaves,  however,  of  L.  cla- 
vatum are  thinner  in  texture,  brighter  green,  less  decurrent,  and 
without  the  rigid  almost  prickly  point  which  is  found  in  L.  anno- 
tinum ;  they  are  also  less  spreading,  and  almost  always  some  of 
them  at  least  have  a  white  wool-like  point,  which  indeed  is  some- 
times as  long  as  the  leaf,  and  in  the  young  plant  generally  forms  a 
little  tuft  at  the  end  of  the  growing  branches.  The  North  American 
L.  clavatum  is  quite  similar  to  the  European.

SPECIES   V.-LYCOPODIUM     ALPINUM.     Linn. 

Plate  1834. 
Babenh.  Crypt.  Vase.  Europ.  No.  96. 

Stem  rather  long,  creeping,  prostrate,  much  branched.  Branches 
ascending  or  erect,  regularly  two  or  three  times  dichotomous,  so  as  to 
appear  fasciculate ;  the  ultimate  branches  of  each  fascicle  of  nearly 
equal  length,  approximate.  Leaves  inserted  in  four  rows :  those  on 
the  main  stem  remote  and  scale-like,  strap-shaped,  obtuse  or  sub- 
acute, entire  ;  those  on  the  branches  approximate ;  the  lateral  ones 
opposite,  placed  edgeways  to  the  stem,  triangular  subulate,  falcate, 
broadest  at  the  base,  very  acute,  entire ;  those  of  the  upper  row 
imbricated,  smaller  than  the  lateral  ones,  narrowly  elliptical-subulate, 
affixed  by  a  narrow  base,  acute,  entire ;  those  of  the  lower  row  not 
imbricated,  similar  to  those  of  the  upper  row,  but  smaller.  Fertile 
branchlets  repeatedly  dichotomous,  approximate,  equal  in  length, 
usually  conspicuously  longer  than  the  accompanying  barren  branch- 
lets,  with  the  leaves  regularly  imbricated  in  four  rows  round  the 
stem,  all  similar,  adpressed,  lanceolate-subulate.  Spikes  solitary  and 
sessile  at  the  extremities  of  the  ultimate  divisions  of  the  fertile 
branchlets,  cylindrical;  bracts  ovate  acuminated  into  a  triangular 
cusp,  subcordate,  erose  or  denticulate.

districts.  With  the  exception  of  a  station  at  Dunkerry  beacon,  south 
Somerset,  it  does  not  occur  in  the  south  of  England,  but  from  Car- 
digan, Brecon,  Montgomery,  Denbigh,  Chester,  Derby,  and  York,  it 
is  found  northwards,  as  far  as  Orkney  and  Shetland.  It  occurs 
from  north  to  south  of  Ireland. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer. 

Stem  very  tough,  wiry,  often  partially  buried,  9  inches  to  2  feet 
long,  round,  whitish,  with  minute  scale-like  leaves.  Branches  §  to 
5  inches  high,  produced  at  intervals ;  but  each  branch  is  so  repeatedly 
divided  that  it  looks  like  a  little  shrub.  The  barren  branches,  from 
the  mode  in  which  the  leaves  are  inserted,  appear  flattened,  convex 
above  and  concave  beneath,  with  a  ridge  formed  by  the  line  of  lower 
leaves.  The  leaves  have  some  resemblance  to  those  of  the  Savin,  and 
are  coriaceous,  -^o  1°  i  incn  long,  rather  pale  dull  green  above,  still 
paler  and  glaucous  beneath.  Ultimate  branchlets  ^  to  2  inches  long. 
Fertile  branchlets  1  to  3  inches  high,  repeatedly  dichotomous  like  the 
sterile  ones,  so  that  the  spikes  are  produced  in  level-topped  fascicles, 
containing  commonly  some  multiple  of  four,  such  as  8  or  16  spikes. 
Spikes  £  to  §  inch  long,  a  little  thicker  than  the  branches  which 
support  them.  Scales  at  first  olive  and  adpressed,  afterwards  yel- 
lowish-brown and  spreading.  Sporangia  reniform,  opening  to  the 
base. 

Savin-leaved  Club-moss. 


EXCLUDED    SPECIES. 

LYCOPODIUM     COMPLANATUM.    Linn. 

Beported  from  near  Bramshot,  Hants,  and  from  Worcestershire, 
but  requires  confirmation.  Under  L.  complanatum  are  included  two 
plants — L.  anceps,  Wallroth,  to  which  many  authors  confine  the  name 
of  complanatum ;  the  other  L.  Chaimecyparissus,  A.  Braun.  Both 
these  grow  in  Belgium  and  Scandinavia,  and  L.  Chamaacyparissus  in 
France.  It  is  by  no  means  unlikely  to  occur  in  Britain,  especially  as 
L.  alpinum  is  not  recorded  from  either  of  the  supposed  stations  for 
L.  complanatum.  The  barren  branches  of  the  two  are  so  similar, 
that  they  can  scarcely  be  distinguished ;  but  in  L.  complanatum 
the  spikes,  2  to  6  in  number,  are  borne  on  a  long  peduncle,  as  in 
L.  clavatum.  Dr.  Milde  thinks  it  not  improbable  that  L.  alpinum 
may  be  merely  a  form  of  L.  complanatum.

ORDER   XCIIL— OPHIOGLOSSACEH. 

Perennial  herbs,  frequently  with  a  tuberous  root  producing  1  or 
more  fronds  with  straight  (not  circinate)  vernation.  Frond  com- 
monly with  2  branches,  the  lower  sterile,  the  upper  fertile ;  very 
rarely  the  fertile  frond  is  separate  from  the  barren  one,  though  some 
species  produce  accessory  sterile  fronds,  or  sterile  fronds  only  on 
young  and  weak  plants.  Sporangia  in  simple  or  compound  spikes, 
naked,  coriaceous,  without  any  thickened  ring,  2-valved,  opening  by 
a  transverse  slit,  rarely  by  a  vertical  slit.  Spores  all  similar, 
very  minute.  Prothallium  subterranean,  destitute  of  chlorophyll, 
tuberiform. 

The  sporangia  in  Ophioglossaceae  are  produced  by  a  metamor- 
phosis of  the  leaf  itself,  not  from  a  single  epidermal  cell,  as  in 
Filices,  from  which  these  plants  differ  also  in  their  straight  vernation 
and  subterranean  prothallium  destitute  of  chlorophyll. 


GENUS  L—O  PHIOGLOSSUM.     Linn.

New  frond  produced  exterior  to  the  base  of  the  stalk  of  that  of  the 
preceding  year.  Barren  branch  of  the  frond  entire,  more  rarely 
forked  or  palmate ;  fertile  branch  stalked,  undivided.  Sporangia 
connate,  disposed  in  a  stalked  2-ranked  simple  linear  flattened  spike.

oblanceolate-elliptical,not  greatly  attenuated  at  the  base,  entire,  rather 
thick,  fleshy ;  veins  conspicuous  in  the  dried  plant  when  held  against 
the  light,  anastomosing  and  forming  rather  elongate  areolae  at  the 
base  and  centre  of  the  frond,  and  short  roundish-polygonal  ones  at 
the  margin  ;  primary  areola?  containing  secondary  ones ;  cells  of  the 
epidermis  flexuose-sided.  Spike  stalked,  strapshaped-linear,  com- 
pressed, apiculate  ;  stalk  cylindrical.     Spores  tubercled.

Fronds  often  with  a  second  frond,  or  1  or  even  2  barren  fronds 
from  the  same  caudex.  Barren  segment  or  barren  frond  generally 
widest  at  or  even  above  the  middle,  attenuated  at  the  base,  at  least 
in  those  fronds  which  have  no  fertile  spike.  Plant  1  to  7  inches

In  meadows  and  pastures,  rather  common,  and  generally  dis- 
tributed throughout  England,  rather  rare  in  Scotland  extending 
north  to  Aberdeen,  Elgin,  Perth,  and  Argyle ;  possibly  the  Burn  of 
Sandybank,  Scalloway,  Shetland,  may  be  a  locality  for  var.  a,  but 
more  probably  it  produces  var.  /3.     Frequently  throughout   Ireland.

Caudex  fusiform,  yellowish,  marked  with  transverse  pits  producing 
fleshy  fibres  about  the  thickness  of  a  darning-needle,  which  are 
brittle,  some  of  them  forming  buds  on  their  upper  surface  close  to 


OPHIOGLOSSACE.E.  21 

the  extremity  from  whence  new  fronds  are  developed.  From  the  top 
of  the  caudex  arises  the  frond,  with  its  base  enveloped  in  an  olive- 
brown  stipule-like  sheath,  the  remains  of  the  covering  which  en- 
velopes the  bud.  At  the  time  of  fructification  an  elongated  conical 
bud  is  found,  which  is  the  rudiment  of  the  frond  of  the  succeeding 
year.  At  the  same  time  there  may  be  seen  the  withered  remains  of 
the  scale  which  enclosed  the  frond  of  the  preceding  year,  and  the 
scars  whence  still  earlier  fronds  have  rotted,  and  it  is  these  scars 
which  give  a  pitted  appearance  to  the  caudex.  Fertile  frond  4  to  15 
inches  high,  the  barren  branch  usually  placed  about  the  middle,  but 
very  variable  in  this  respect;  barren  branch  resembling  a  sessile 
decurrent  leaf  embracing  the  base  of  the  stalk  of  the  spike,  1 J  to  4 
inches  long,  varying  from  broadly  ovate  or  oval  to  rather  narrowly 
elliptical,  acute  or  rather  obtuse,  entire  at  first,  convolute  when  it 
appears  above  the  ground  in  April,  afterwards  with  the  sides  folded 
together,  ultimately  opening  out  until  it  is  nearly  flat.  Fertile 
branch  of  the  frond  consisting  of  a  stalked  spike.  The  length  of  the 
stalk  of  the  spike  seems  to  have  no  relation  to  the  luxuriance  of  the 
plant.  In  my  herbarium  are  specimens  with  the  stalk  of  the  spike 
from  a  little  over  1  inch  to  nearly  8  inches*  Spike  f  to  2  inches 
long,  linear,  flattened  on  both  faces,  but  with  a  wider  space  between 
the  series  of  sporangia  on  the  side  away  from  the  barren  branch ;  on 
each  side  of  the  groove,  i.e.  at  the  edges  of  the  spike  the  sporangia 
are  imbedded,  they  are  contiguous  and  adherent  to  each  other  and  at 
length  open  by  a  wide  transverse  slit ;  the  apex  of  the  spike  is 
apiculate,  and  bare  of  sporangia.  The  spores  are  very  minute  and 
of  the  same  sulphur  colour  as  those  of  the  genus  Lycopodium ; 
they  are  subglobular,  and  marked  with  distinct  blunt  tubercles. 
Occasionally  there  are  two  spikes  produced  and  more  have  been 
observed,  though  not  by  myself. 

In  young  or  weakly  plants  the  frond  consists  solely  of  a  barren 
branch,  quite  similar  to  that  of  the  barren  branch  of  the  complete 
frond ;  like  it,  it  is  thick,  fleshy,  bright  green  ;  it  is  so  thick  that  when 
held  up  against  the  light  when  living  the  venation  is  scarcely  per- 
ceptible, but  when  the  plant  is  dried  it  may  be  very  clearly  seen ; 
there  is  no  midrib,  but  the  veins  anastomose,  forming  meshes  which 
are  long  and  narrow  towards  the  base  and  along  the  centre  of  the  frond, 
but  become  smaller  and  shorter  in  proportion  as  they  approach  the 
margin  ;  the  primary  meshes  are  again  divided  into  smaller  meshes 
by  finer  anastomosing  veins :  some  of  these  secondary  veins  are  often 
free. 

Of  var.  /3  there  are  two  forms ;  that  found  by  Mr.  Townsend  in 
the  Scilly  Isles  and  the  Orkney  plants  from  the  Calf  of  Flotta  and  the 
Calf  of  Cava  belong  to  the  form  termed  intermedium  by  Vigineix  and, 
according  to  Milcle,  the  0.  vulgatum  var.  ambiguum  of  Cosson  and 
Germain.  My  specimens  are  from  1  to  2^  inches  high;  the  barren 
branch  of  the  frond  is  broadly  oval  and  situated  usually  above  the 


22  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

middle  of  the  step  so  that  the  spike  has  a  stalk  sometimes  as  short 
as  ^  inch,  or  even  less.     The  Orphir  plant  appears  to  be  the  form 
termed  cuspidatum  by  Milde  ;  some  of  my  specimens  of  it  are  quite 
similar  to    the  specimens  of  0.   polyphyllum,  which   I    have    from 
Madeira  and  the  Azores;  it  is  generally  2  to  4  inches  high,  but  in 
the  year  1855  I  found  specimens  7  inches  high,  though  in  no  other 
year  have  I   found  them  above  5  inches   and  generally  less.     The 
barren  branch  is  usually  placed  below  the  middle  of  the  stem  and 
mostly  very  conspicuously  so,  so  that  the  stalk  of  the  fertile  branch 
is  3  or  4  times  longer  than  the  portion  between  the  caudex  and  the 
barren  segment.     Two  fronds  from    one    caudex  are    common,   and 
frequently  these   accessory  fronds   are  without   a   spike.      In    both 
forms  the  spike  is  from  i  to  f  inch  long.     Except  in  this  particular 
and  in  size  it  does  not  differ  from  the  ordinary  form  of  0.  vulgatum. 
In    Orkney   it   grows   only  on   fine    short    grass,  often    within    the 
earthen  enclosures  where  sheep  are  driven,  termed  "  buchts."     Culti- 
vated in  pots  in  a  cool  greenhouse  it  maintains  its  small  size,  and 
fruits  freely,  but  it  appears  to  be  much  less  hardy  than  the  common 
Ophiogiossum,  and  I  cannot  get  it  to  thrive  in  the  open  ground  ; 
it  seldom  survives  more  than  the  one  season  after  it  is  planted  out, 
and  I  have  never  got  it  to  produce  a  fertile  spike  in  the  garden, 
though  the  common  form  of  0.  vulgatum  grows  wild  about  Balmuto. 
The  plant  is  quite  easy  to  cultivate  and  certainly  does  not  require 
to  grow  amongst  herbage ;  it  increases  rapidly  by  means  of  the  root- 
fibres  which  run  along  almost  horizontally  beneath  the  surface  of  the 
ground.     Some  of  these  become  swollen  at  the  extremity,  and  beneath 
this  swelling  a  root  is  formed — apparently  a  continuation  of  the  fibre  on 
which  the  swelling  exists  ;  the  swelling  developes  into  a  bud  which  in 
the  succeeding  year  produces  a  barren  frond ;  the  year  after,  this  is  suc- 
ceeded by  another  barren  frond,  and  it  is  not  till  the  third  or  fourth 
year  that  a  frond  with  both  barren  and  fertile  branches  is  developed. 
As  the  runner-like  roots  persist  for  more  than  one  year,  we  frequently 
find  two  or  more  plants  in  different  stages  of  development  connected 
by  them  with  the  parent.      A   detailed  account  of  the  growth  of 
Ophioglossum    vulgatum,  by  Mons.  Duval  Jouve,  will   be  found  in 
C.   Billot,  '  Annotations  a  la  Flore  de  France   et  d'AUemagne,'  pp.

oblanceolate,  entire,  very  thick  and  fleshy ;  veins  scarcely  observable 
(even  in  the  dried  plant)  when  held  against  the  light,  anastomosing 
and  forming  a  few  elongate  areola? ;  primary  areola?  usually  without 
secondary  ones  ;  cells  of  the  epidermis  straight-sided.  Spike  stalked, 
oblong  or  linear-oblong,  compressed,  rostrate  ;  stalk  slightly  thickened 
upwards.     Spores  without  tubercles. 

In  pastures,  very  local,  discovered  by  Mr.  George  Wolsey  in  the 
island  of  Guernsey ;  u  it  occurs  amid  short  and  very  level  herbage 
sloping  towards  the  south,  on  the  summit  of  rocks  on  the  south  coast 
of  the  island  and  not  far  from  Petit  Bot  Bay.  On  this  elevated  down 
are  a  few  scattered  and  stunted  furze  bushes,  and  around  these  the 
grass  is  as  usual  somewhat  longer,  and  here  the  little  Adder's-tongue 
is  not  quite  so  minute  as  on  the  level  turf  where  it  scarcely  attains  an 
inch  in  height.  It  grows  in  company  with  Trichonema  Columnar 
and  Scilla  autumnalis,  and  on  the  17th  of  January  was  in  full  fruit." 
('  Phytologist,'  1854,  p.  80.) 

In  the  fifth  edition  of  the  'History  of  British  Ferns,'  p.  195,  the 
late  Mr.  E.  Newman  states  that  it  is  found  also  near  the  Land's  End 
in  Cornwall,  but  I  have  been  unable  to  get  any  information  about  the 
Cornish  locality.  Mr.  H.  Chichester  Hart  reports  it  from  "  the  north 
side  of  Horn  Head,  Donegal,"  where  he  found  a  "  fewT  plants  in 
August,  1878."  (<  Journ.  of  Bot,'  1879,  p.  149.)  From  the  date  of 
fruiting  and  the  unlikeliness  of  0.  Lusitanicum  occurring  so  far  north, 
I  fear  it  is  likely  to  prove  0.  vulgatum,  var.  /3.  polyphyllum. 

England  ?     Ireland  ?     Channel  Islands !     Perennial.     Winter. 

The  Guernsey  plant  is  1  to  2  inches  high.  The  sterile  branch  of 
the  frond  is  generally  placed  about  the  middle  of  the  stem,  and  is 
^  to  1  inch  long,  very  much  attenuated  at  the  base,  acute  ;  the  stalk 
of  the  spike  varies  from  \  to  1  inch.  The  spike  itself  is  from  -^  to 
t3q  inch  long. 

Besides  the  small  size  and  the  winter  fructification,  0.  Lusitanicum 
offers  several  points  of  contrast  with  0.  vulgatum,  although  it  does 
present  some  resemblance  to  the  smaller  states  of  the  var.  polyphyllum 
of  the  latter,  with  which  it  agrees  in  having  often  more  fronds  than 
one  produced  simultaneously  from  one  cauclex.  In  0.  Lusitanicum 
the  caudex  is  considerably  more  swollen  and  tuber-like  than  in 
0.  vulgatum.  The  barren  fronds  and  barren  segments  of  the 
complete  frond  are  always  narrower  and  much  more  attenuated  at 
the  base,  much  thicker  in  texture,  so  that  it  is  difficult  to  make  out 
the  venation;  but  this  may  be  done  by  steeping  the  dried  plant  in 
water,  and  holding  it  against  the  light.  The  network  of  veins  is  then 
seen  to  have  the  meshes  much  more  uniformly  elongated,  and  the 


24  ENGLISH    BOTA.VY. 

primary  meshes  do  not  (or  but  rarely)  contain  secondary  veins.  The 
cells  of  the  epidermis  are  separated  by  straight  boundary  lines,  while 
in  0.  vulgatum  the  boundaries  of  the  cells  are  sinuous.  The  spike 
contains  fewer  sporangia  in  each  row ;  in  the  Guernsey  plant  they 
are  three  to  six  on  each  side ;  but  I  have  Continental  specimens  with 
as  many  as  ten  in  the  row,  and  Milde  says  there  are  sometimes  nine- 
teen. The  sporangia  do  not  extend  so  near  the  apex  of  the  spike  as 
in  0.  vulgatum,  the  bare  part  extending  like  a  little  point  or  spur 
beyond  the  fertile  part  and  bearing  a  much  greater  proportion  to  the 
length  of  the  spike  than  in  0.  vulgatum.  The  spores  are  consider- 
ably smaller  than  in  0.  vulgatum,  and  are  quite  smooth.

Herbs  with  the  caudex  not  tuber-like,  passing  downwards  into  a 
slender  creeping  branched  root.  Frond  produced  within  the  base  of 
the  stalk  of  that  of  the  preceding  year.  Barren  branch  of  the  frond 
varying  from  oblong  and  pinnate  or  even  only  pinnatifid  to  deltoid  and 
ternately  decompound ;  fertile  branch  stalked  or  subsessile,  once  to 
3  or  4  times  compound,  oblong-triangular  or  deltoid,  nearly  all  in 
one  plane  or  incurved.  Sporangia  free,  disposed  in  a  distichous 
compound  or  decompound  spike. 

Name  from  /36rpv<;  (botrus),  a  bunch  of  grapes,  from  the  appearance  of  the  fertile

Caudex  or  rootstock  obliquely  descending,  thickened  upwards, 
creeping,  sending  forth  fleshy  root-fibres  which  are  simple  or  once  or 
twice  branched.  Plant  2  to  10  inches  high  ;  stipes  stout,  clothed  at 
the  base  with  a  brown  lacerated  membrane  formed  from  the  decayed 
frond  of  the  preceding  year,  and  enclosing  within  its  hollow  base 
the  rudiment  of  the  succeeding  year's  frond.  Sterile  branch  \  to  3 
inches  long,  with  from  3  to  8  pairs  of  fleshy  bright-green  pinnae. 
These  pinnee  are  from  \  to  \  inch  long  and  usually  broader,  the 
larger  ones  nearly  semicircular  and  attached  by  a  wedge-shaped 
base,  each  side  of  which  is  curved,  so  as  to  leave  a  blunt  cusp  directed 
backwards  on  either  side  where  it  meets  the  curve  of  the  semicircle ; 
the  upper  pinnae  attain  little  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  circle,  and 
have  the  wedge-shaped  base  more  excavated  on  the  posterior  than 
on  the  anterior  side  of  the  base.  The  pinna?  are  all  connected  by  a 
herbaceous  strip  down  each  side  of  the  midrib  of  the  barren  branch  of 
the  frond  ;  when  young  these  pinnas  or  segments  are  folded  inwards 
over  the  fertile  branch  of  the  spike,  the  lower  cusp  of  each  pinna  over- 
lapping the  upper  cusp  of  the  pinna  situated  below  it ;  the  terminal 
lobe  is  commonly  trifid.  The  stalk  of  the  fertile  branch  between 
the  barren  branch  and  the  base  of  the  spike  is  from  ^  to  2^-  inches 
long  ;  the  spike  itself  is  from  ^  to  2\  inches,  the  primary  branches 
spread  horizontally  to  the  right  and  left ;  these  branches,  or  at  least 
the  lower  ones,   are  generally  compound   and  triangular,  becoming

26  ENGLTSH    BOTANY. 

shorter  as  they  approach  the  apex  of  the  spike  ;  but  more  rarely 
they  are  twice  compound,  and  in  small  specimens  they  are  all  simple. 
The  sporangia  are  arranged  along  the  edges  of  the  ultimate  divisions 
of  the  spike,  on  their  inner  side,  that  is,  looking  towards  the  barren 
frond  ;  they  are  about  the  size  of  poppy-seed  or  a  little  larger,  at  first 
green,  afterwards  orange.  The  spores  are  pale  yellowish-white, 
roundish-trigonous,  smooth,  areolated. 

The  var.  /3  scarcely  deserves  mention.  It  differs  merely  in  the 
crenatures  which  are  often  present  in  the  more  common  form,  being 
separated  by  more  or  less  deep  incisions  of  unequal  depth,  so  as  to 
give  a  fimbriated  appearance  to  the  margins  of  the  pinna?. 

Monstrosities  occur  in  which  the  barren  branch  is  tripartite,  each 
division  resembling  the  ordinary  barren  branch  of  the  frond.  This  is 
the  var.  tripartitum  of  Moore  ('  Nat.  Print.  Brit.  Ferns,'  8vo.  ed. 
vol.  ii.  pp.  324  and  332),  which  was  found  at  Kilmashogue  Hill,  co. 
Dublin,  by  the  late  Dr.  Kinahan,  and  called  by  him  var.  cristatum. 
I  have  a  monstrous  specimen  from  Southerness,  Kirkcudbright,  col- 
lected by  the  late  Sir  William  Jardine,  in  which  the  fertile  branch  is 
tripartite,  producing  3  spikes.  I  have  another  from  Northumberland, 
in  which,  from  the  side  of  the  barren  segment,  a  branch  is  produced, 
the  lower  part  of  which  is  barren  and  the  upper  fertile.  I  have  2,  one 
from  Northumberland  and  the  other  from  Kirkcudbright,  in  which, 
from  the  base  of  the  lowest  pinna  of  the  fertile  segment,  a  stalked 
compound  spike  is  produced ;  and  lastly,  I  have  one  from  Northum- 
berland in  which  sporangia  are  placed  round  the  edges  of  the  pinna? 
of  the  barren  segment. 

Botrychium  Lunaria  evidently  increases  by  subterranean  buds ; 
but  the  origin  of  these  buds  has  not,  so  far  as  I  know,  been  ascer- 
tained. In  all  probability  they  are  developed  at  the  extreme  apex  of 
runner-like  shoots,  or  in  the  axils  of  their  forks.  The  bud  so  pro- 
duced remains  in  a  rudimentary  state  underneath  the  ground,  instead 
of  springing  up  at  once  into  a  barren  frond,  and  it  is  not  until  the 
fourth  year  that  it  rises  above  ground,  at  which  time  both  fertile  and 
barren  branches  are  fully  developed.  The  plant  is  said  to  appear  in 
April ;  but  in  cultivation  I  have  never  found  it  do  so  earlier  than  the 
beginning  of  May,  and  it  dies  off  in  August.  If  the  base  of  the  stipes 
of  the  plant  be  cut  longitudinally,  it  will  be  found  to  contain  the 
young  frond  of  the  ensuing  year,  and  within  this  the  frond  for  the 
next  again.  This  has  been  worked  out  by  the  late  Mr.  Newman, 
whose  observations  were  made  in  May  1843,  and  he  found  that  each 
frond  was  placed  alternately,  "t.e.,  having  laid  all  the  specimens 
before  me  with  the  fruit  on  the  right-hand  and  the  leafy  portion  on 
the  left,  then  the  frond  for  1844  invariably  had  the  fruit  on  the  left 
and  the  leafy  portion  on  the  right ;  the  frond  for  1845  appearing  to 
be  again  reversed,  having  the  fruit  on  the  right  and  the  leafy  portion 
on  the  left."     (Newman,  'Brit.  Ferns,'  ed.  iii.  p.  316.) 

There  is  not  the  slightest  reason  for  thinking  that  the  Moonwort 


OPHIOGLOSSACE.E.  27 

or  the  Adder's-tongue  is  parasitic,  yet  fern-growers  seem  to  think  it 
cannot  be  cultivated  for  any  length  of  time  unless  grown  in  a  tuft  of 
grass.  Mr.  Newman  goes  the  length  of  saying  that  it  should  be  dug 
up  with  a  large  sod  and  placed  in  a  pot,  and  the  grass  kept  short 
with  a  pair  of  scissors,  and  watered  in  dry  weather  "  for  the  purpose 
of  keeping  the  grass  green  and  vigorous ;"  and  Mr.  Moore  states  that 
Mr.  "Wollaston,  one  of  the  most  successful  cultivators  of  Ferns,  has 
told  him  "  that  he  finds  that  to  keep  the  plant  over  the  second  year, 
it  is  absolutely  necessary  to  grow  it  in  a  tuft  of  grass."  I  have 
grown  plants  of  it  for  4  years  in  an  unheated  greenhouse  without 
any  herbage  about  it,  and  it  thrives  well.  The  plants  were  taken  up 
in  June,  the  whole  of  the  surrounding  grass  removed,  but  the  soil 
left  about  the  roots.  They  were  potted  in  light  loam  from  mole- 
hills in  the  field  where  they  grew,  interspersed  with  fragments  of 
limestone  for  drainage,  and  received  no  attention  except  removing 
any  extraneous  plant  that  appeared  in  the  pot.  Previously,  I  had 
tried  growing  it  with  grass,  and  found  the  grass  flourished  and  the 
Botrychium  died.  I  suspect  each  frond  is  short-lived,  as  in  the  wild 
state  it  is  often  not  seen  for  years  in  a  spot  where  it  has  been  found.

EXCLUDED  SPECIES. 

BOTRYCHIUM     RUTACEUM.     Schwartz. 

B.  matricariifolium,  A.  Braun.     Milde,  Fil.  Europ.  p.  195. 
B.  Lunaria,  var.  8,  Sm.  Eng.  FL  Yol.  IT.  p.  328. 

The  supposed  authority  for  this  is  a  passage  in  Ray's  '  Synopsis/ 
where  he  mentions  a  plant,  "  Lunariam  minorem  ramosam  et  Lunariam 
min.  fol.  dissectis.  Westmoreland.  D.  Lawson  hujus  plantae  varie- 
tates  esse;  non  distinctas  species  opinatur.  D.  Doody  ('Syn.'  11. 
App.  340)  Lunariam  minorem  foliis  dissectis  revera  distinctam 
speciem  vult,  cum  segmenta  seu  lunulas  non  solum  eminenter  sint  sectae, 
sed  planta  etiam  elatior  sit  et  botrus  racemosior.  Est  Lunaria  botrytis 
minor  pinnulis  laciniatis  in  Borealibus  nostris  (Pluk.  Ann.  288). 
Mr.  Doody  received  it  from  Sir  Thomas  YYillughby,  but  "  hath  since 
seen  it  several  times  gathered  by  our  herbwomen."    (Raii  '  Syn.'  129.) 

From  this  passage  Mr.  Newman  draws  the  following  conclusions  : — 

"  1.  That  Ray  supposed  there  were  two  British  species  of  Botry- 
chium distinct  from  Lunaria. 

"  2.  That  Mr.  Lawson  thought  them  both  varieties  of  Lunaria. 

E    2 


28  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

"  3.  That  Dillenius  believed  one  of  them,  described  as  with  '  foliis 
dissectis,'  to  be  a  distinct  species. 

"  4.  That  this  species,  or  supposed  species,  was  '  found  by  or  known 
to  Ray,  Lawson,  Doody,  "Willughby,  and  the  herbwomen.'  "  (Newman, 
1  Phyt.'  1854,  p.  30.) 

No  one  can  doubt  that  Mr.  Newman  is  right  in  his  deductions, 
but  I  do  not  see  how  they  prove  Ray's  plant  to  be  B.  rutaceum. 
There  is  no  mention  of  the  midrib  to  the  pinnae,  nor  of  their  being 
pinnatifid  :  and  the  mere  mention  of  lunules  in  connection  with  the 
pinnae  would  seem  to  exclude  the  idea  of  B.  rutaceum,  in  which  the 
pinnae  have  no  lunate  appearance  whatever.  Again,  B.  rutaceum  is 
ordinarily  a  smaller  plant  than  B.  Lunaria.  I  am  inclined  to  add 
a  fifth  deduction  to  those  of  Mr.  Newman,  viz. : 

5th.  That  this  species  or  supposed  species  is  B.  Lunaria,  ft.  incisum, 
M'tlde,  which  I  have  mentioned  in  its  proper  place. 

There  still  remains  a  passage  in  Smith's  'English  Flora.'  After 
describing  the  ordinary  form  of  B.  Lunaria,  he  adds  the  following 
paragraph  : — 

"  (3  has  a  branched  stalk,  bearing  several  leaves  and  compound 
spikes  alternately  disposed,  y  is  a  very  slight  variety,  with  more 
jagged  leaflets  than  ordinary.  S  has  pinnatifid  leaflets  and  a  more 
spreading  habit.  All  these  varieties,  and  perhaps  others,  are  found 
occasionally  intermixed  here  and  there  with  the  plant  in  its  proper  or 
common  form ;  but  never,  as  far  as  I  could  learn,  so  numerously 
distinct  as  to  have  the  appearance  of  a  different  species."  (Sm. 
'Engl.  Fl.'  vol.  iv.  p.  329.) 

In  this  paragraph  ft  is  the  monstrous  form  termed  tripartitum 
by  Mr.  Moore  ;  y  is  the  plant  I  have  before  mentioned  as  B.  Lunaria, 
j3.  incisum  ;  and  8  is  probably  the  true  B.  rutaceum.  Smith  appears, 
if  not  to  have  seen,  at  least  to  have  heard  of,  the  occasional  occur- 
rence of  all  these  forms  ;  and  as  B.  rutaceum  is  a  plant  likely  to 
occur  in  Britain,  and  liable  to  be  overlooked,  it  is  just  possible 
that  it  may  really  be  a  native.

Mr.  Newman  writes  of  a  Botrychium,  which  he  supposes  to  be 
B.  rutaceum,  "  Mr.  Cruickshank  says  in  a  note :  '  I  found  it  on  the 
Sands  of   Barry,    near   Dundee,  in   August,   1830.     I   observed  but

three  specimens,  all  of  them  exactly  alike  excepting  a  small  difference 
in  size,  and  I  could  find  none  of  the  common  form  of  the  plant 
growing  near  them.'  Mr.  Cruickshank  sent  me  a  drawing,  which  I 
did  not  at  the  time  recognise  as  representing  the  present  species 
(B.  rutaceum).  A  carefully  accurate  engraving  of  this  will  be  found 
at  p.  324,  Newman's  Brit.  Ferns,  ed.  iii.  p.  321." 

Of  this  drawing  Mr.  Moore  says,  "  Dr.  Milde's  own  illustrations  of 
B.  lanceolatum,  including  Fl.  Dan.  T.  18,  fig.  dext.  are  most  nearly 
accordant  with  the  figure  of  the  Dundee  j^lant,  which  should 
probably  bear  the  name  of  var.  lanceolatum  instead  of  rutaceum, 
hitherto  applied  to  it."  (Moore,  *  Nat.  Print.  Brit.  Ferns,'  8vo.  ed. 
vol.  ii.  p.  332.) 

Under  B.  lanceolatum  Dr.  Milde  says,  "  Newm.  Hist,  of  Brit. 
Ferns,  1854,  figura  pag.  324,  ad  B.  lanceolatum  pertinere  videtur  " 
(Milde,  <Fil.  Europ.'p.  197). 

I  do  not  think  there  can  be  any  doubt  that  Mr.  Newman's  figure 
here  referred  to  represents  B.  lanceolatum,  and  not  B.  rutaceum ; 
neither  have  I  any  doubt  that  Dr.  Milde  is  right  in  considering 
that  B.  Lunaria,  B.  rutaceum,  and  B.  lanceolatum  are  three  distinct 
species.  Unfortunately  no  further  information  can  be  obtained  about 
the  plant  from  the  Sands  of  Barry,  nor  can  any  of  Mr.  Cruickshank's 
three  specimens  be  traced  to  their  present  owners,  so  far  as  I  can 
discover.  No  one  else  has  found  it  there,  still  B.  lanceolatum  seems 
to  have  a  better  claim  to  be  included  in  the  British  lists  than 
B.  rutaceum." 


OEDER  XCIY.— F I  L  I  C  E  S. 

Herbs,  rarely  trees,  very  rarely  annuals,  sometimes  with  creeping 
buried  or  exposed  rootstocks,  in  which  case  the  leaves  or  fronds  are 
few  and  distant,  in  other  cases  with  a  stem  (caudex)  or  in  Tree-ferns 
a  trunk,  producing  a  circle  of  fronds  like  the  feathers  of  a  shuttle- 
cock. Fronds  very  various  in  shape  and  division,  usually  supported 
on  a  stalk  (stipes)  which  is  continued  as  a  midrib  through  the  expanded 
part  of  the  frond,  and  there  is  termed  the  rachis.  SjDorangia  borne 
on  the  back  or  margin  of  the  fronds,  usually  attached  to  the  veins, 
each  formed  from  a  single  epidermal  cell,  opening  transversely 
or  longitudinally,  with  a  more  or  less  complete  vertical  or  trans- 
verse or  apical  ring  of  thickened  tissue  (annulus).  The  sporangia 
are    collected   into    groups   termed    sori,    which    are    round,    oblong,

linear,  or  curved,  and  sometimes  naked,  sometimes  covered  when 
young  by  a  membrane  (induskan),  sometimes  enclosed  in  pouches 
{involucres).  Prothallium  flat,  green,  resembling  a  frondose  Liver- 
wort, producing  on  its  under  side  archegonia  and  antheridia,  the 
former  producing  a  new  plant  when  fertilised  by  the  antherozoids  of 
the  antheridia. 

According  to  Dr.  TV.  Gr.  Farlow,  in  Pteris  serrulata,  the  prothallium 
was  found  in  about  50  cases  to  produce  a  young  plant,  where  no 
traces  of  archegonia  were  seen.  See  '  Journ.  Bot.'  1874,  p.  185. 
If  this  viviparous  production  of  young  plants  be  general,  it  may 
account  for  the  numerous  curious  facts  that  occur  in  the  rearing  of

GENUS  I.—O  S  M  U  N  D  A.    Linn. 

Caudex  massive.  Fronds  tufted,  coriaceous  or  herbaceous,  pinnate 
or  bipinnate.  Sporangia  on  a  separate  frond  or  on  a  portion  of  a  frond 
so  contracted  that  it  appears  to  be  made  up  of  clusters  of  sporangia 
arranged  in  a  compound  spike,  rarely  with  the  barren  portion  inter- 
rupted by  a  few  fertile  lateral  pinnae. 

Name  Osmunda,  a  Saxon  name  of  the  god  Thor.  But  some  authors  derive  it  from 
Osmund,  a  Saxon  waterman,  who  is  said  to  have  hidden  his  wife  and  children  among 
the  Royal  Fern  on  an  island  in  Loch  Lomond,  during  an  incursion  of  the  Danes.

Stipes  nearly  as  long  as  the  laminaB  of  the  frond,  rarely  only 
half  as  long.  Barren  frond  subcoriaceous,  pale  green,  glabrous  when 
mature,  clothed  with  cinnamon-coloured  arachnoid  hairs  when  young, 
which  come  off  in  floccose  patches  as  the  frond  developes,  oblong

apex,  very  minutely  serrulate  or  crenate,  or  almost  entire  ;  veins 
running  from  the  midrib  of  the  pinnules  to  their  margins,  twice  or 
thrice  forked.     Fertile  fronds  similar  to  the  barren  ones,  but  with 

3  to  9  of  the  upper  pairs  of  pinnaa  and  the  apex  of  the  frond  bearing- 
contracted  spur-shaped  pinnules,  thickly  clothed  with  roundish  and 
often  coalescent  glomerules  of  sporangia. 

In  bogs,  meadows,  wet  heaths,  and  damp  woods,  and  on  wet  ledges 
of  rock.  Sparingly  distributed  over  England  and  Scotland,  but  much 
more  abundant  towards  the  west  side  of  the  island,  extending  from 
Cornwall,  Devon,  Dorset,  Hants,  Sussex,  and  Kent,  to  Sutherland 
and  Caithness.  It  does  not  appear  to  be  recorded  from  Orkney  ;  but 
I  think  the  late  Mr.  Robert  Heddle  told  me  he  had  found  it  there. 
Generally  distributed  throughout  Ireland,  but  there  also  more 
plentiful  in  the  west. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Plant  with  few  heads,  the  caudex  attaining  a  large  size  before  it 
divides;  divisions  of  the  caudex  nearly  vertical,  thickly  clothed  with 
the  decayed  bases  of  former  fronds,  in  old  luxuriant  plants  sometimes 
attaining  a  height  of  2  feet  above  the  ground,  but  in  exposed  situations 
only  rising  a  few  inches.  Fronds  5  to  12,  erect  or  when  very 
luxuriant  arching  backwards,  usually  2  to  4  feet  high,  but  in  favour- 
able localities  often  much  taller.  I  have  seen  it  5  or  6  feet  high  in 
the  Isle  of  Bute;  Mr.  Newman  has  measured  fronds  8  feet  high  on 
the  banks  of  Loch  Fyne ;  Mr.  W.  Bennett  records  it  about  the 
same  height  in  Merivale  Wood,  at  the  foot  of  Leith  Hill,  Surrey  ;  and 
Mr.  T.  Moore  says  it  is  occasionally  10  to  12  feet  high  in  very 
clamp,  sheltered  spots.  The  rachis  is  attached  by  a  narrow  base  to 
the  caudex,  and  gives  off  a  strong  root-fibre  from  its  back  above 
the  point  of  attachment,  above  which  it  is  greatly  enlarged  and  fur- 
nished on  each  side  with  a  stipule-like  expansion,  something  like 
the  blade  of  a  feather,  or  still  more  like  the  pen  found  in  the  cuttle- 
fish called  the  squid  (Loligo)  :  in  large  plants  this  wing  is  from  2  to 

4  inches  long,  projecting  ^  to  ^  an  inch,  it  ends  rather  abruptly 
upwards ;  it  is  plicate  and  crisped  at  the  margin,  and  splits  readily 
from  above  obliquely  downwards.  The  rachis  itself  is  green,  convex 
on  the  back,  flattened  on  the  anterior  surface,  which  is  bounded  by 
two  slightly  raised  rounded  strips ;  when  cut  through  the  vascular 
bundle  is  visible  as  a  curved  line  with  its  two  free  ends  rolled  in- 
wards. The  fronds  are  at  first  tinged  with  reddish  but  become  pea- 
green  when  mature,  they  have  5  to  9  pairs  of  rather  distant  and 
nearly  opposite  pinnse;  the  pinnules  or  ultimate  segments  are  sub- 
sessile,  5  to  14  pairs  in  each  pinna,  each  one  f  to  2f  inches  long 
by    j   to   |    inch   broad ;    they  are   placed   nearly  opposite   to  each

other,  and  are  more  developed  on  the  lower  side  than  on  the  upper ; 
their  texture  is  very  firm,  and  their  surface  throws  off  rain  or  dew 
without  being  wetted.  The  veins  are  either  given  off  from  the  midrib 
in  pairs  or  divide  immediately  after  leaving  it,  and  are  again  often 
once  or  twice  forked,  the  ultimate  segments  running  into  the  notches 
between  the  extremely  minute  serrulations,  and  not  into  their  apices. 
The  fronds  begin  to  develope  in  May,  and  perish  with  the  first  sharp 
frost.  The  fertile  fronds  have  from  2  to  6  of  the  lower  pair  of  pinna? 
quite  like  those  of  the  barren  fronds,  but  the  upper  ones  have  the 
pinnae  cut  down  to  a  winged  midrib,  from  each  side  of  which  herba- 
ceous processes  are  given  off,  round  which  the  sporangia  are 
clustered.  These  metamorphosed  pinnae  are  from  \  to  1^-  inch 
long  ;  they  are  at  first  green,  afterwards  olive-yellow,  and  ultimately 
they  become  of  a  rusty-brown  colour.  The  spores  are  green  while 
they  are  capable  of  germinating,  but  become  pale  yellow  when  they 
have  lost  their  vitality. 

This  plant  has  no  varieties,  properly  so  called,  found  in  Britain ; 
cristata  and  interrupta,  Moore,  being  malformed  states  or  monstro- 
sities. It  sometimes  occurs  with  the  rachis  divided  or  with  the 
leaflets  lobed  and  crisped.  Not  unfrequently  on  the  fertile  fronds 
some  of  the  barren  pinnae  are  fertile  on  one  side,  and  in  this  case 
the  opposite  side  is  divided  into  rounded  lobes  ;  this  lobing  evidently 
being  the  first  stage  of  the  transition  from  the  barren  to  the  fertile 
pinnules.

England,  [Scotland,]  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Rootstock  about  the  thickness  of  a  crow-quill,  emitting  wiry, 
forking,  radical  fibres,  densely  tomentose  with  scales  resembling 
hairs.  Stipes  varying  from  1  to  6  inches;  lamina  3  to  12  inches; 
pinnae  and  divisions  of  pinnae  all  connected  by  a  broad  wing,  so 
that  the  frond  must  be  termed  pinnatipartite  instead  of  pinnate; 
ultimate  lobes  oblong,  with  short,  entire  or  bifid  teeth.  Involucre 
situated  on  the  lowest  anterior  branch  of  the  vein  of  the  ultimate 
segments,  urn-shaped^  tapering  below,  about  T\  inch  long,  pale 
green.  Receptacle  bristle-shaped,  sometimes  scarcely  exceeding  the 
involucre,  but  usually  ultimately  twice  as  long  or  more.  Spore- 
cases  reddish,  concealed  within  the  involucre. 

Of  var.  ft.  I  have  no  specimens,  but  judging  from  the  figure  in  Mr. 
Newman's  '  British  Ferns,'  it  appears  to  differ  from  the  ordinary  form 
only  in  the  frond  being  narrower  and  more  acuminated,  the  recep- 
tacles immersed  in  the  substance  of  the  leaves,  and  the  bristle  or 
receptacle  ^sometimes  3  or  4  times  longer  than  the  involucre  ;  Mr. 
Andrews,  in  his  description,  says  6  times  longer.  Mr.  Andrews  lavs 
some  stress  as  a,  distinctive  feature  on  "  the  lower  pinnae  being  dis- 
tant and  short;"  but  this  occurs  in  var.  a,  of  which  I  have  specimens 
in  which  the  same  rootstock  bore  some  fronds  having  the  lowest 
pmnaB  longer  than  the  succeeding,  and  others  in  which  they  are 
considerably  shorter. 

Tins  fern  is  remarkable  for  the  slow  development  of  its  fronds,  and 
their  lengthened  duration,  as  they  are  not  fully  developed  until  the 
second  year,  and  until  then  the  involucres  are  not  produced. 
Accordmg  to  Milde,  however,  the  Mexican  form  is  said  to  be  fructi- 
ferous m  the  first  year.  Mr.  Andrews,  as  quoted  in  Newman's 
British  Ferns,'  says  no  disposition  to  bear  fruit  is  shown  until 
the  autumn  of  the  third  year,  when  the  involucres  appear,  and  the

setas  and  capsules  attain  maturity  in  October.  After  this  the  fertile 
frond  begins  to  decay,  but  sterile  fronds  have  even  a  longer 
existence. 

The  Bristle-fern  is  easily  cultivated,  and  its  semi  transparent  foliage 
presents  an  exceedingly  attractive  appearance.  The  easiest  method 
of  culture  is  to  plant  it  in  a  pan  (unglazed  if  possible),  filled  with 
broken  sandstone  and  peat.  Place  the  pan  in  a  larger  glazed  pan,  in 
which  keep  water.  Cover  with  a  glass  fitting  into  the  outer  pan, 
and  leaving  a  space  between  the  glass  and  the  margin  of  the  inner 
pan,  or  place  the  two  pans  in  a  hand-light  or  window  fern-case.  The 
outer  pan  should  never  be  without  water,  the  object  being  to  keep 
up  a  damp  atmosphere  round  the  Fern  by  the  evaporation  of  the 
water  in  the  outer  pan,  and  allow  no  stagnant  water  about  the  roots.

Rather  local,  but  widely  distributed.  Chiefly  in  the  west  of  England 
and  Scotland,  Cornwall,  Devon,  Somerset,  Sussex,  "West  Kent,  Gla- 
morgan, Merioneth,  Carnarvon,  Yorkshire,  the  Lake  district,  North- 
umberland, Dumfries,  Peebles,  Stirling,  Dumbarton,  Renfrew,  Argyle, 
Bute,  Arran  and  Mull.  In  Ireland  it  is  local,  being  rare  in  the  east, 
centre  and  north  of  the  island ;  it  occurs  in  Kerry,  Cork,  TVaterford, 
Tipperary,  Kilkenny,  Limerick,  Clare,  Longford,  Galway,  Sligo, 
Leitrim,  Donegal,  Tyrone  and  Down. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Plant  growing  in  sheets  or  mats,  with  the  black  hair-like  rootstocks 
interlaced  ;  these  are  much  branched,  and  emit  numerous  hairy 
rootlets,  which  attach  themselves  to  the  rock  or  substance  on  which 
the  plant  grows  ;  they  are  nearly  naked,  having  a  few  brown  hair- 
like scales  on  their  younger  portions,  and  commonly  a  small  tuft  at 
the  base  of  the  young  fronds  Stipes  setaceous,  a  little  thickened 
upwards,  J  to  2  inches  long  ;  lamina  f  to  4J  inches  long,  by  \  to 
1  inch  broad  ;  lower  pinnae  somewhat  flabellately  pinnatifid  or  pinnati- 
partite,  which  arises  from  the  distribution  of  the  veins ;  the  main  vein 
of  each  pinna  gives  off  a  lateral  vein  first  on  the  anterior  side,  then 
on  the  posterior,  then  another  anterior  branch,  and  often  a  posterior 
following  it ;  each  of  these  branches  is  commonly  forked,  or  sometimes 
twice  forked,  and  so  is  the  termination  of  the  main  vein ;  the  ultimate 
veins  do  not  quite  reach  the  apex  of  the  ultimate  divisions ;  in  the 
uppermost  segments  the  veins  frequently  branch  only  on  the  upper 
side.  Involucres  about  -y^  inch  long,  inversely  deltoid  at  the  base, 
which  is  somewhat  swollen  ;  the  valves  are  flattened  horizontally, 
and  project  beyond  the  substance  of  the  leaf.  The  sporangia  are 
wholly  included,  and  the  vein  or  receptacle  on  which  they  are  placed 
does  not  extend  beyond  them. 

The  leaves  in  texture,  and  in  the  shape  of  their  ultimate  divisions, 
bear  considerable  resemblance  to  those  of  the  barren  stems  of  the 
moss,  Mnium  undulatum,  Hedwig.

Rootstock  capillary.  Fronds  convex,  recurved,  glabrous,  trans- 
lucent, consisting  of  a  single  layer  of  cells  nearly  twice  as  long 
as  broad,  lanceolate-oblong  or  narrowly  oblong,  pinnatipartite,  with 
the  pinna?  all  connected  by  a  wing  running  down  each  side  of  the 
rachis,  and  extending  a  short  distance  down  the  stipes  ;  pinnae 
recurved,  pinnatipartite,  with  the  segments  all  on  the  anterior  side  of 
the  main  vein,  even  in  those  at  the  base  of  the  frond,  simple  or  once 
forked  ;  ultimate  divisions  strapshaped  spinous-serrulate.  Involucres 
at  the  termination  of  the  first  anterior  vein  given  off  by  the  main  vein 
of  the  pinna?,  ovate  ;  valves  ovate,  convex,  entire  throughout.  Recep- 
tacle without  paraphyses. 

On  rocks  and  trunks  of  trees,  often  growing  with  H.  Tunbridgense, 
but  much  more  frequent,  especially  in  the  north-west  of  England 
and  Scotland,  extending  north  to  Orkney  (where  it  was  found  by  the 
late  Mr.  Hecldle  near  the  Kame  of  Hoy,  and  in  1880  by  Mr.  H.  H. 
Johnston  on  the  Wart  Hill  of  Hoy),  and  Shetland.  Frequent  in 
mountainous  districts  in  Ireland,  especially  in  the  west  and  north. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Very  similar  to  H,  Tunbridgense  in  general  appearance,  and  about 
the  same  size.  It  is  easily  recognised  when  growing  by  its  dark  lurid 
green  fronds,  recurved  at  the  apex  and  margins,  while  in  H.  Tun- 
bridgense they  are  flat  and  paler  green.  But  even  in  the  dried  state 
it  may  be  known  by  the  narrower  pinnae,  of  which  the  main  vein 
branches  only  on  the  upper  side,  consequently  they  have  the  segments 
all  pointing  towards  the  apex  of  the  leaf,  even  in  the  basal  leaflets. 
The  fronds  are  also  rather  narrower  in  outline,  and  their  ultimate 
divisions  are  rather  broader  and  less  parallel-sided.  The  involucres 
are  more  exserted,  a  little  larger,  and  with  longer  convex  and  entire 
valves.  The  cells  of  the  fronds  are  longer  and  narrower  than  in 
H.  Tunbridgense.  Mr.  Gulliver  gives  the  average  size  of  the  cells 
of  H.  Tunbridgense  as  -Ay  inch  each  way,  and  in  H.  unilaterale,  the 
average  long  diameter  g-i-g  inch,  and  the  short  diameter  -g-j-g  inch. 
(See  '  Journ.  Bot.'  1865,  p.  204.)  Mr.  F.  Clowes  states  that  the  fronds 
of  H.  Tunbridgense  die  annually,  while  those  of  H.  Wilsoni  grow 
on  from  year  to  year,  like  those  of  Trichomanes  radicans,  but 
Mr.  Moore  says  the  fronds  of  H.  Tunbridgense  endure  for  "  two  or 
three  years  under  favourable  circumstances."  ('  Nat.  Print.  Ferns,5 
8vo.  ed.  vol.  ii.  p.  304.)  I  have  not  had  H.  Tunbridgense  in 
cultivation,  but  I  can  corroborate  the  statement  that  the  fronds  of 
H.  unilaterale  live  for  more  than  one  year.

Sporangia  with  an  incomplete  vertical  annulus,  and  opening  by  a

Tribe  I.— POLYPODIES. 

Rootstock  growing  in  advance  of  the  fronds,  the  stipes  of  which  is 
articulated  to  the  rootstock,  and  separates  from  it,  leaving  a  distinct 
scar.  Sori  roundish  or  more  or  less  elongated,  attached  to  the  hack 
of  the  veins,  without  an  indusium. 

This  is  the  only  tribe  of  British  Ferns  belonging  to  Mr.  John 
Smith's  division  Eremobrya,  which  is  characterised  "  Fronds  solitary, 
solitary,  lateral,  and  articulate  with  its  caudex  ;"  all  the  following 
tribes  belong  to  his  division  Desmobrya,  and  have  the  "  fronds 
terminal,  solitary,  fasciculate,  adherent  to  the  caudex."  (J.  Smith, 
'  Hist.  Filicum,'  pp.  61-79.)  I  agree  with  the  late  Mr.  E.  Xewman 
('  Phytologist,'  ser.  1,  vol.  v.  p.  229)  that  such  plants  as  Pteris  aquilina, 
which  have  a  rhizome  growing  in  advance  of  the  fronds,  cannot 
naturally  be  referred  to  Desmobrya  ;  though  I  cannot  go  so  far  with 
him  as  to  join  them  with  Polypodium  and  the  other  Eremobrya. 
Probably  Pteris  aquilina  and  such  Ferns  as  have  a  rhizome  growing 
in  advance  of  the  fronds,  but  the  rachis  of  the  fronds  continuous  with 
the  rhizome  and  not  articulated  to  it,  ought  to  be  formed  into  a 
separate  division  to  be  placed  between  Eremobrya  and  Desmobrya — 
as  natural  primary  divisions  of  the  suborder  Polypodiaceae.

Of  var.  y  the  typical  Cambricum  was  originally  found  in  a  wood

field, Cheshire ;  also  reported  from  Kidderminster,  Mill  Dingle, 
Beaumaris,  Conway  Castle,  Ambleside,  and  Antrim.  A  fertile  form 
of  it  was  found  at  Goderich  Castle,  Herefordshire  by  Mr.  W. 
Bennett,  from  whom  I  have  cultivated  specimens.  Forms  still  less 
divided  I  have  from  Killarney,  and  it  has  been  observed  in  various 
parts  of  Ireland,  especially  Kerry,  Clare,  and  Wicklow.  In  the  south 
and  west  of  England. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Yar.  a  has  the  rootstock  varying  from  the  thickness  of  a  goosequill 
to  that  of  a  man's  little  finger,  usually  creeping  along  the  surface  on 
which  it  grows,  to  which  it  adheres  by  numerous  branched  densely 
tomentose  radical  fibres ;  it  is  branched,  and  the  growing  apex  is  always 
in  advance  of  the  fronds,  thickly  clothed  with  pale  reddish-brown  scales, 
which  ultimately  fall  off,  and  leave  the  rhizome  smooth  and  green. 
Upon  this  part  of  it  there  are  elevated  warts,  the  top  of  which  exhibits 
a  circular  depression ;  this  is  the  scar  left  by  the  stipes  which  have 
separated  from  the  rootstock  by  an  articulation.  The  scales  with 
which  it  is  covered  are  remarkable  for  adhering  by  a  large  surface,  so 
as  to  be  peltate,  they  are  dentate  on  the  margins  and  on  the  long  apical 
cusp ;  the  teeth  are  prominent  and  distant,  spreading,  or  even  a  little 
recurved  at  the  point.  The  stipes  is  from  1  to  8  inches  long,  pale 
green,  cylindrical,  with  an  inconspicuous  green  ridge  on  each  side, 
about  as  thick  as  a  stocking  wire,  at  first  furnished  with  distant 
lanceolate  acuminate  cuspidate  brown  scales,  like  those  on  the  root- 
stock,  but  soon  becoming  quite  bare.  Lamina  usually  more  or  less 
channelled  from  the  segments  bending  inwards  ;  2  to  10  inches  long 
by  1  to  2^  inches  broad,  dark  green,  paler  and  somewhat  glaucous 
beneath,  with  the  veins  more  translucent  than  the  rest  of  the  frond, 
and  clubbed  at  the  apex,  unrolling  at  the  end  of  May  or  first  half  of 
June,  but  the  sori  are  not  completely  developed  till  a  month  or  six 
weeks  afterwards,  when  they  are  become  yellow  or  bright  orange,  and 
about  the  size  of  sago  grains  or  larger  ;  they  are  often  produced  on  the 
apical  portion  only  of  the  frond.  The  spores  are  pale  yellow,  oblong- 
renitbrm,  bluntly  tuberculate.     The  fronds  remain    green  until  the

following  sunmier,  except  in  exposed  localities ;  they  are  erect,  or 
pendent  when  luxuriant. 

Yar.  /3  is  usually  a  larger  plant,  the  fronds  6  to  20  inches  long,  3  to 
5  inches  broad. 

Yar.  y  has  the  fronds  4  inches  to  1  foot  long,  by  3  to  7  inches 
broad.  It  is  to  this  variety  that  the  handsomest  forms,  so  much  coveted 
by  fern-growers,  belong.  Most  of  these,  however,  are  abnormal 
developments,  which  is  shown  by  the  frond  being  either  wholly 
or  partially  barren,  and  by  the  irregularity  of  the  divisions  of  the 
primary  segments.  The  most  regular  of  all  the  forms,  which  is  also 
occasionally  fertile,  is  that  from  Goderich  Castle,  Herefordshire, 
which  is  named  "  omnilacerum "  by  Mr.  Moore.  The  true  Cam- 
bricum  is  always  barren.  The  form  called  crenatum  by  Mr.  Wol- 
laston,  which  I  have  from  Mucrus,  Killarney,  appears  to  be  really 
the  Cambricum  without  monstrous  development.  This  comes  very 
near  var.  ft.  serratum,  but  has  the  frond  much  broader  in  proportion.

deciduous  ;  barren  ones  fugacious. 

On  banks  and  walls  facing  the  south  or  south-west  in  Jersey.  The 
first  notice  of  it  was  published  in  the  '  Gardeners'  Chronicle,'  Jan. 
29th,  1853,  p.  69,  by  "  J.  M.,"  who  appears  to  have  found  it  not  only 
in  that  year,  but  in  the  previous  one  in  Jersey.  Mr.  Newman,  in 
March  1853,  states  that  he  learned  from  his  friend  Mr.  Henry  Hagen, 
in  the  winter  of  1852-3,  that  a  lady  had  discovered  Gymnograrnme 
leptophylla  in  one  of  the  Channel  Islands,  and  on  receipt  of  a 
specimen  he  announced  the  fact  in  the  '  Phytologist,'  1853,  p.  914. 
As  a  result  of  communications  received  May,  1853,  he  intimated  that 
it  was  reported  from  Jersey  that  Gymnograrnme  was  widely  dis- 
tributed in  the  island,  preferring  localities  in  which  the  moistened  soil 
induces  the  growth  of  Marchantia,  in  company  with  which  plant  it 
appears  particularly  to  flourish  ;  it  also  occurs,  but  not  so  frequently, 
growing  in  moss.  The  principal  localities  are  near  Le  Haule,  near 
St.  Aubin's,  and  in  several  places  near  St.  Laurence.  On  the  25th  of 
June,  .1853,  I  gathered  the  Gymnograrnme  on  the  right-hand  side  of

the  road  from  Goose-green  to  St.  Laurence ;  it  was  about  i  mile  from 
G-oose-green,  on  a  high  bank,  looking  towards  the  south-west,  faced 
up  with  stones,  in  the  interstices  of  which  it  grew ;  it  was  far  past 
its  prime,  and  much  of  it  quite  dried  up.  Before  it  was  ascer- 
tained to  occur  in  Jersey,  it  was  reported  from  Aberdeenshire.  Mr. 
W.  W.  Spicer  published  in  the  '  Phytologist '  for  1862,  p.  GOO,  a 
letter  from  Miss  Veitch,  in  which  she  states  she  discovered  it  "  in  a 
stone  dyke  on  the  high-road,  on  the  right-hand  side,  leading  from 
Braemar  to  Ballater,  nearly  opposite  Invercauld  House,  and  as  far 
as  I  remember  where  the  highlanders  perform  their  annual  feats  at 
the  gathering,  viz.,  a  rock  called  '  the  Lion's  Face,'  at  the  foot  of 
which,  enclosing  trees,  is  the  above-named  dyke."  No  one  else,  how- 
ever, has  found  the  plant  in  this  station,  and  it  is  scarcely  conceivable 
that  it  could  exist  in  so  cold  a  climate.  Doubtless  some  mistake 
has  been  made. 

Channel  Islands.     Annual  or  biennial.     Spring. 

Caudex  very  minute,  roundish,  simple,  sending  out  woolly  root- 
fibres  with  from  4  or  5  fronds  in  the  Jersey  specimens,  which  vary 
from  1  to  1\  inches  high.  In  Portuguese  specimens  there  are  some- 
times 8  or  9  fronds  with  the  tallest  (5  to  8  inches  high.  The  fronds 
which  are  first  produced  are  sterile  ;  the  earliest  of  these  is  not  above 
£  or  \  inch  long,  and  has  a  roundish  trifid  lamina  with  dichoto- 
mously  lobed  segments ;  the  succeeding  fronds  are  longer  and  more 
compound,  but  still  are  only  accidentally  fertile ;  the  pinnae  of  these 
are  about  \  inch  long.  The  fertile  fronds  have  a  much  longer  and 
stouter  stipes ;  they  are  much  more  decompound,  pale  green,  thin, 
soon  becoming  tinged  with  olive-yellow  ;  the  primary  rachis  is  very 
narrowly  winged,  with  a  herbaceous  stripe  running  from  each  pinna ; 
the  rachides  of  the  pinnae  are  much  more  broadly  winged,  sometimes 
so  much  so  that  the  pinnae  cannot  be  said  to  be  more  than  pinna- 
tipartite.  In  very  luxuriant  specimens  the  pinnules  are  again 
pinnatipartite,  but  in  the  small  specimens,  such  as  those  I  have  seen 
from  Jersey,  they  cannot  be  termed  more  than  lobed,  and  are  about 
\  inch  long.  The  sori  are  yellowish,  and  before  coalescing  appear 
as  if  forked ;  this  arises  from  their  being  continued  along  the  course 
of  the  veins  from  the  last  fork  down  to  their  apex,  which  is  a  little 
within  the  margin  of  the  segment.  Spores  dark  brown,  areolate. 
The  stipes  contains  a  single  reniform  vascular  bundle ;  the  hair-like 
scales  are  at  first  white,  afterwards  brown. 

According  to  Moore,  in  the  wild  state  we  learn  that  the  prothallus 
is  developed  in  the  damp  late  autumnal  months,  being  perfectly 
formed  in  November ;  by  January  3  or  4  fronds  have  been  produced, 
in  April  or  May  the  growth  is  mature,  and   by  August  the  plants

Rootstock  shortly  creeping,  dividing  into  numerous  crowns. 
Fronds  of  two  forms  on  the  same  plant.  Fertile  frond  with  the  stipes 
usually  twice  as  long  as  the  lamina,  sparingly  furnished  with  lanceolate 
scales  when  young,  ultimately  naked.  Lamina  triangular-ovate  or 
ovate,  firm,  pale  green,  ultimately  yellowish-green,  glabrous,  tripin- 
nate  or  more  rarely  bipinnate  or  quadripinnate ;  the  ultimate  pinna? 
shortly  stalked,  or  contracted  towards  the  base,  oblong  elliptical 
fusiform  or  oblong-cylindrical,  with  the  margins  recurved  and  nearly 
concealing  the  sori,  which  are  ultimately  confluent.  Sterile  frond  with 
the  stipes  usually  twice  as  long  as  the  lamina.  Lamina  membranous, 
firm,  bright  green,  deltoid-ovate  or  triangular-ovate,  2  or  3  times 
pinnate,  the  ultimate  pinna?  obovate  or  oblanceolate,  wedge-shaped 
at  the  base,  incised  or  toothed  with  the  teeth  blunt;  the  veins 
running  into  the  teeth,  but  not  quite  reaching  their  apex.  Both 
kinds  of  frond  deciduous.

On  rocks  and  walls,  and  among  loose  stones  and  on  hillsides. 
Local  and  principally  found  in  mountainous  districts.  Challi- 
comb,  near  Simmonsbath,  Somerset;  it  also  occurs  in  Shropshire, 
Worcestershire,  Derbyshire,  Glamorganshire  and  Cardiganshire.  In 
North  Wales  it  becomes  abundant,  and  still  more  so  in  the  Lake 
district.  In  Scotland  it  is  much  more  generally  distributed,  extend- 
ing north  to  Caithness,  Sutherland  and  the  Hebrides,  but  it  is  not 
recorded  from  Orkney  or  Shetland.  In  Ireland  it  is  very  rare,  and 
confined  to  the  east  and  north-east. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Caudex  dividing  into  a  great  number  of  small  crowns  massed 
closely  together,  so  that  though  each  crown  produces  but  few  fronds, 
the  plant  grows  in  large  tufts.  Stipes  of  fertile  fronds,  3  to  10  inches 
high,  slender,  wiry,  brown  at  the  base,  then  yellowish-green.  Lamina 
1 J  to  4  inches  long  ;  ultimate  segments  £  to  f  inch  long,  bearing  a 
superficial  resemblance  to  a  pod  of  a  Draba.  Stipes  of  sterile  frond 
li  to  5  inches  long ;  lamina  1 J  to  4  inches ;  ultimate  segments 
variable  in  the  shape  of  and  in  the  degree  in  which  they  are  incised, 
varying  from  -|-  to  ^  inch  long. 

Occasionally  barren  fronds  are  found  with  the  ultimate  segments, 
but  slightly  sinuated  at  the  edges  and  not  cut.  These  appear  to  be 
transition  forms  between  the  barren  and  the  fertile  fronds.  It  is 
certainly  not  a  variety,  for  I  have  a  specimen  in  which,  from  the 
same  caudex,  one  of  these  fronds  is  produced  along  with  the  ordinary 
barren  fronds  with  deeply  cut  pinnules,  and  fertile  fronds  of  the 
usual  form. 

The  fronds  are  produced  in  May  or  the  beginning  of  June,  and 
are  killed  by  the  first  severe  frost  of  autumn.  It  cannot  be  mistaken 
for  any  other  British  Fern,  on  account  of  its  dimorphous  decompound 
bright  green  crisped  fronds. 

The  name  of  Parsley-fern  is  given  on  account  of  the  barren  fronds 
having  some  resemblance  to  those  of  garden  Parsley  (Petroselinum 
sativum).  They  are,  however,  more  like  those  of  Fool's  Parsley 
(JEthusa  Cynapium).

Caudex  elongate,  very  slender,  wiry,  creeping,  branched,  not 
tortuous,  not  tomentose,  the  younger  portions  clothed  with  ovate 
scales,  producing  fronds  at  rather  distant  intervals.  Fronds  all 
similar.  Stipes  erect,  almost  filiform,  much  longer  than  the  lamina, 
glabrous,  at  first  with  a  few  ovate  or  lanceolate  often  piliferous  pale 
scales,  ultimately  naked.  Lamina  suddenly  bent  back  at  nearly  a 
right-augle  with  the  stipes,  so  as  to  appear  almost  horizontal  when 
growing,  bright  pea-green,  membranous,  rather  flaccid,  glabrous 
and  without  glands,  deltoid,  acute,  ternately  bi-  or  tripinnate,  with 
the  three  main  divisions  of  which  the  frond  is  composed  each  rolled 
up  into  a  separate  ball  in  vernation ;  ultimate  pinnules  or  segments 
flat,  oblong,  obtuse,  crenate-serrate  or  entire.  Sori  round,  arranged 
in  a  line  near  the  margin  on  each  side  of  the  pinnules  or  ultimate 
segments,  attached  to  the  lateral  veins  a  little  below  their  apex. 

On  rocks  and  amongst  stones,  chiefly  in  ravines,  and  on  the  ground 
in  damp  woods.  In  the  south  of  England  it  is  very  rare,  and  pro- 
bably  in  some  of  its  reported  stations  P.  Robertianum  has  been  mis- 
taken for  it.     There  is,  however,  good  authority  for  its  occurrence  in 


FILICES.  47 

East  Cornwall,  North  Devon,  West  Gloucester,  Hereford,  Worcester- 
shire and  Shropshire,  as  well  as  both  North  and  South  Wales ;  from 
Lancashire,  Derbyshire,  and  Yorkshire,  it  occurs  in  almost  every 
county  north  to  Caithness  and  Sutherland,  and  may  certainly  he 
called  frequent  in  Scotland.  It  is  not  recorded  from  Orkney,  but  it 
is  from  Shetland.  In  Ireland  it  is  very  rare,  and  the  only  recent 
authority  which  is  beyond  question  is  that  on  Knocklayd  Mountain, 
Antrim,  where  it  was  found  about  the  height  of  1800  feet  by  Dr. 
Moore  ;  Benoo  Mountain,  near  Manor  Hamilton,  Leitrim,  where  it 
was  found  by  the  late  Mr.  J.  Wynne ;  and  near  Loch  Talt,  on  the  Ox 
Mountain,  Sligo  (Mr.  P.  Warren). 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Rootstock  pitchy  black,  about  the  thickness  of  a  stocking-wire, 
creeping  just  under  the  surface  of  the  leaf-mould  or  loose  soil  in 
which  it  grows,  emitting  numerous  capillary  root-fibres  sparingly 
clothed  with  very  short  down ;  the  growing  extremity  and  young 
branches  of  the  rhizome  are  completely  covered  with  ovate,  very  pale 
brown  scales,  which  disappear  from  the  older  portions  of  the  caudex ; 
when  the  plant  is  luxuriant,  the  rhizomes  and  their  branches 
interlace  and  form  a  sort  of  loose  tangle.  Fronds  few  in  number, 
proceeding  from  the  two  sides  of  the  caudex  alternately,  usually  from 
^  inch  to  1  inch  apart.  Rackis  6  inches  to  1  foot  high,  very  slender, 
bluntly  channelled  on  the  upper  half  on  the  front,  containing  2  vascular 
bundles.  Lamina  2  J  to  5  J  inches  by  3  J  to  8  inches  broad,  with  a  few 
pairs  of  distant  opposite  pinnae,  the  lower  pair  so  much  larger  than 
any  of  the  others  that  the  frond  might  be  termed  ternate  with  each 
of  its  3  divisions  bipinnate.  These  lowest  pinnae  have  their  pinnules, 
especially  the  basal  ones,  much  more  developed  on  the  lower  side  than 
on  the  upper;  the  lowest  pinnae  of  all  the  3  divisions  have  their  lowest 
pinnules  separated  from  succeeding  pairs,  but  towards  their  apex  the 
pinnae  coalesce ;  the  same  thing  takes  place  with  the  pinnules  of  these 
pinnae,  of  which  the  basal  ones  are  separate,  but  the  apical  ones 
cohere,  so  that  the  apex  of  each  of  the  3  main  divisions  and  of 
the  tips  of  the  lower  subdivisions  are  only  lobed  or  toothed — not 
pinnate.  The  lowermost  of  these  ultimate  pinnules  or  subdivisions  are 
more  or  less  deeply  crenate-serrate,  the  upper  ones  entire ;  each  one 
has  a  midrib,  which  is  flexuous  towards  the  apex,  and  gives  off  veins 
which  run  to  the  margin  of  the  pinnule  or  lobe ;  these  veins  are  simple, 
or  the  lower  ones  once  or  even  twice-forked.  The  fronds  begin  to 
be  produced  early  in  May,  and  very  soon  attain  their  full  size,  so  that 
mature  sporangia  may  be  found  in  June.  The  sporangia  are  at  first 
yellow,  they  are  minute  and  sometimes  ultimately  nearly  coalesce 
so  as  to  form  submarginal  lines  upon  the  segments.  The  fronds 
perish  with  the  first  frost.     When  growing  in  shade  they  are  of  a 


48  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

rich  vivid  green,  but  not  at  all  shining.  In  exposed  places  they 
frequently  become  tinged  with  red.  They  are  very  delicate  in  texture, 
and  soon  wither  if  after  being  gathered  they  are  exposed  to  the  air. 
Properly  speaking,  this  Fern  produces  no  barren  fronds  distinct 
from  the  fertile  ones;  still  we  frequently  meet  with  fronds  fully 
developed  without  sori.  These  have  the  pinnse  broader  and  ultimate 
pinnas  more  approximate,  and  a  greater  number  of  them  combined 
than  the  fertile  fronds,  so  that  they  appear  to  be  less  divided,  but 
they  occur  too  rarely  to  be  considered  more  than  an  accidental 
variation.

green,  sprinkled  with  very  minute  stalked  glands,  which  are  most 
numerous  on  the  rachis  partial  rachides  and  mid-veins,  deltoid  or 
triangular-deltoid,  bipinnate ,  acuminate,  and  very  acute ;  ultimate 
pinnules  or  segments  often  convex  with  reflexed  margins,  oblong, 
obtuse,  crenate  or  entire.  Sori  round,  arranged  in  a  line  near  the 
margin  on  each  side  of  the  pinnules  or  ultimate  segments,  attached 
to  the  lateral  veins  a  little  below  their  apex.

counties  it  has  been  reported  from  "Worcestershire,  Carnarvon,  and 
Cumberland.  It  grows  in  the  Isle  of  "Wight,  at  Swainston,  and 
Carisbrooke  Castle,  but  not  wild.  It  has  been  found  in  an  old  quarry 
near  Aberfeldy  :  concerning  this  station,  Dr.  Buchanan  White  says 
it  is  now  nearly  eradicated,  but  was  once  abundant ;  he  adds  that 
he  once  suggested,  half  in  jest,  that  the  spores  might  have  been 
accidentally  carried  with  workmen's  tools  from  some  limestone  quarry 
in  England.  Mr.  "Watson  also  gives  No.  93,  i.e.  North  Aberdeen, 
as  a  Scotch  station,  which  is  insufficiently  vouched  for,  but  possibly 
correct.  ('Top.  Bot.,'  p.  489.)  It  seems  remarkable  that  it  should 
be  absent  from  the  limestone  hills  of  Ireland. 

England,  Scotland  ?     Perennial.     Summer. 

Rootstock  pitchy  black,  about  the  thickness  of  a  straw  or  more. 
Fronds  several,  -^  to  f  inch  apart.  Stipes  4  to  10  inches  long. 
Lamina  3^  to  9  inches  long,  by  3  to  8  inches  broad.  Lower  pair  of 
pinna?  much  larger  than  the  succeeding  ones,  and  more  remote  from 
them  than  any  of  the  other  pairs  or  than  the  portion  of  their 
partial  rachis  which  is  between  its  junction  with  the  main  rachis  and 
its  first  pair  of  pinnae ;  they  are,  however,  not  so  much  larger  than 
the  other  pairs  of  pinna?  as  to  give  the  frond  a  ternate  appearance, 
and  they  are  not  rolled  up  into  little  balls  separate  from  the  one  into 
which  the  rest  of  the  lamina  is  coiled  in  bud.  The  fronds  appear 
in  May  and  perish  with  the  first  frost.  I  have  not  seen  any  fully 
developed  barren  fronds  of  this  species  analogous  to  those  mentioned 
under  P.  Dryopteris. 

P.  Pobertiana  has  been  often  confounded  with  P.  Dryopteris,  and 
indeed  even  now  some  botanists  regard  them  as  varieties  of  a  single 
species.  To  me  they  appear  abundantly  distinct,  and  it  is  surprising 
that  any  one  who  has  seen  the  tw7o  plants  alive  could  combine  them. 
P.  Robertiana  differs  from  P.  Dryopteris  in  having  the  caudex  con- 
siderably thicker,  more  woody,  and  more  tortuous,  the  younger  por- 
tions more  thickly  clothed  with  scales  and  with  brownish  tomentum, 
which  comes  off  in  flakes,  leaving  the  old  portions  of  the  rootstock 
glabrous ;  the  root-fibres  are  also  stronger  and  more  tomentose.  The 
fronds  are  more  numerous,  much  closer  together,  and  (when  young) 
with  many  more  scales.  The  stipes  is  much  thicker,  and  firmer,  and 
glandular,  at  least  when  young.  The  lamina  is  not  suddenly  bent 
back  at  its  junction  with  the  stipes  as  in  P.  Dryopteris,  but  curves  back- 
wards gradually ;  it  is  longer  in  proportion  to  its  breadth,  much  more 
acute,  rather  less  compound,  with  the  pinnules  less  approximate  and 
more  of  them  separated ;  it  is  of  a  dull  greyish  tint — very  different 
from  the  vivid  green  of  P.  Dryopteris.  The  very  minute  stalked- 
glands  with  wThich  it  is  clothed,  give  it  a  somewhat  dusty  appearance, 
and  furnish  a  character  by  which  it  may  be  distinguished  in  the  dried

plant ;  they  are  most  abundant  on  the  rachis  and  midrib.  The  ultimate 
divisions  are  often  more  or  less  convex,  from  having  their  edges 
recurved  like  those  of  some  forms  of  Athyrium  Filix-femina.  The 
sori  are  larger,  and  from  this  sometimes  become  confluent  so  as  to 
form  continuous  lines.  Lastly,  the  constitution  of  the  plant  seems 
quite  different,  for  P.  Dryopteris  loves  shade  and  moisture,  while 
P.  Robertianum  prefers  dry  spots  and  full  exposure  to  the  sun.

Caudex  elongate,  slender,  scarcely  tortuous,  creeping,  branched, 
tomentose,  the  younger  parts  sparingly  clothed  with  lanceolate 
scales,  producing  fronds  at  rather  distant  intervals.  Fronds  all 
similar.  Stipes  erect,  almost  filiform,  finely  pubescent,  at  first  with 
rather  numerous  lanceolate  or  subulate  often  piliferous  pale  brown 
scales,  ultimately  naked.  Lamina  gradually  curved  backwards,  firm, 
dull  yellowish-green,  sparingly  pubescent,  triangular-acuminate  and 
very  acute,  pinnate  with  the  pinnaB  pinnatifid  or  pinnatipartite  but 
not  again  pinnate  ;  lower  pair  of  pinnae  deflexed  ;  ultimate 
segments  often  convex,  oblong,  obtuse,  crenate  or  entire.  Sori 
round  or  oval,  arranged  in  a  line  near  the  margin  on  each  side  of 
the  ultimate  segments,  but  commonly  only  towards  their  base, 
attached  to  the  lateral  veins  a  little  below  their  apex. 

On  rocks  and  amongst  stones,  chiefly  in  ravines,  and  on  the  ground 
in  damp  woods.  This  plant  has  almost  the  same  distribution  as 
P.  Dryopteris,  in  company  with  which  it  often  grows.  There  are, 
however,  a  few  more  localities  in  the  south  of  England,  as  it  occurs 
not  only  in  Cornwall  and  Devon,  but  also  in  Dorset  and  Sussex. 
In  Scotland  it  occurs  in  Orkney,  where  P.  Dryopteris  has  not  been 
noticed,  although  it,  as  well  as  P.  Phegopteris,  has  been  observed  in

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer. 

Caudex  very  similar  to  that  of  P.  Dryopteris,  but  thicker,  and 
finely  pubescent.  This  pubescence  is  more  persistent  than  that  on 
the  caudex  of  P.  Robertianum,  and  does  not  come  off  in  flocculi,  as  in 
that  plant ;  the  hairs,  too,  are  considerably  shorter.  The  scales  on  the 
caudex  are  considerably  narrower,  more  acute,  and  darker  coloured 
than  in  P.  Dryopteris.  The  fronds  are  5  to  1  inch  apart.  The  stipes 
is  3  to  12  inches  long,  thicker  than  that  of  P.  Dryopteris,  and  like  it 
very  brittle,  but  is  not  so  thick  as  that  of  P.  Robertianum ;  at  first 
it  is  pitchy  at  the  base,  and  usually  with  a  good  many  scales  similar 
to  those  on  the  caudex,  while  those  above  are  narrower ;  it  is  also 
sparingly  clothed  with  very  minute  whitish  spreading  or  reflexed 
hairs.  The  lamina  is  3  to  8  inches  long  by  2  to  5|  inches  broad ;  the 
rachis  and  midrib  of  the  pinnse  are  clothed  with  minute  narrowly 
subulate  whitish  scales,  as  well  as  minute  hairs.  The  texture  of  the 
frond  is  much  firmer  than  in  P.  Dryopteris,  but  less  so  than  in 
P.  Robertianum,  and  it  is  also  intermediate  in  colour  between  the 
two.  The  pinnas  are  more  or  less  deeply  pinnatifid  or  pinnatipartite, 
at  least  towards  the  base.  The  first  pair  of  pinna?,  which  are  as  long 
as,  or  nearly  as  long  as,  the  second  pair,  are  directed  slightly  down- 
wards, so  as  to  form  acute  angles  with  the  succeeding  pair,  and  are 
not  parallel  to  them.  The  uppermost  pinna?  are  combined,  so  that 
the  apical  half  of  the  frond  is  pinnatipartite,  not  pinnate.  The  sori 
are  usually  less  numerous  than  in  P.  Robertianum  and  P.  calcareum, 
and  are  often  more  or  less  oval.

Caudex  very  long,  slender,  wiry,  creeping,  much  branched,  the 
youngest  portion  with  a  few  ovate  obtuse  pale  very  deciduous 
scales.  Fronds  of  2  kinds,  produced  at  distant  intervals  along  the 
rhizome,  either  solitary,  or  (in  luxuriant  plants)  a  few  together  in 
small  fascicles,  deciduous.  Fertile  fronds  erect,  with  the  stipes  as 
long  as,  or  longer  than,  the  lamina,  slender,  slightly  channelled 
in  the  upper  part,  containing  2  vascular  bundles,  pitchy-black 
at  the  base,  with  a  very  few  pale  ovate-acuminate  scales,  which 
soon  fall  off  and  leave  the  stipes  naked.  Lamina  firm,  yellowish- 
green,  almost  without  glands  (at  least  when  full  grown),  oblong 
or  strapshaped-oblong,  abrupt  at  the  base,  rather  abruptly  acumi- 
nated into  an  acute  apex,  pinnate ;  pinna?  all  shortly  stalked, 
triangular-strapshaped,  pectinate-pinnatifid  or  -pinnati partite  ;'  ulti- 
mate segments  convex,  narrowly  triangular-strapshaped  or  trian- 
gular-oblong, more  or  less  falcate,  acute,  entire,  with  recurved 
margins.  Ultimate  veins  running  from  the  midrib  to  the  margins  of 
the  segments,  forking  near  their  base,  those  towards  the  apex  of  the 
segment  generally  simple.  Rachis  not  scaly,  or  rarely  with  a  few 
ovate  brown  scales.  Sori  attached  to  the  back  of  the  ultimate  veins, 
forming  a  line  on  each  side  of  the  mid-vein  about  half-way  between 
it  and  the  margins  of  the  segments,  more  or  less  covered  by  the 
recurved  margins,  ultimately  confluent  all  over  the  lower  surface  of 
the  segments.  Indusium  hyaline,  soon  disappearing,  reniform,  with 
minute  stalked  glands  round  the  margin.  Spores  muricated.  Sterile 
fronds  produced  earlier  than   the  fertile  ones,  less  erect,  and  not  so

tall.  Stipes  usually  shorter  than  the  lamina.  Lamina  bright  green, 
membranous,  oblong  or  ovate-oblong,  acuminated,  abrupt  at  the  base, 
very  shortly  stalked,  deeply  pinnatifid ;  first  pair  of  pinnae  elongate, 
but  a  little  shorter  than  the  succeeding  pair ;  ultimate  segments 
oblong,  sometimes  slightly  falcate,  obtuse  or  subacute,  entire  or 
repand,  flat.  Ultimate  veins  mostly  once  forked,  but  the  basal  ones 
sometimes  branched  below  the  fork,  and  the  terminal  ones  simple. 

In  bogs  and  marshes.  Local,  but  widely  distributed  in  England, 
from  Devon,  Dorset,  Hants,  Sussex,  and  Kent,  to  Northumberland 
and  Cumberland.  In  Scotland  it  is  confined  to  Forfarshire,  where  it 
grows  about  Rescobie,  and  formerly  at  Restennet.  It  is  reported 
from  Scalloway  and  Guendal,  Dunrossness,  Shetland,  but  most  likely 
this  is  a  mistake.  Local  and  rare,  but  widely  distributed  in  the  west, 
centre,  and  north  of  Ireland. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Caudex  very  long,  creeping  at  a  short  distance  below  the  surface 
of  the  loose  peaty  soil  in  which  the  plant  grows,  and  extending 
rapidly  when  the  conditions  favourable  for  its  growth  occur ;  it 
is  about  the  thickness  of  a  straw,  nearly  black,  with  very  numerous 
radical  fibres,  which  are  at  first  tomentose,  afterwards  glabrous. 
The  fronds  are  produced  alternately,  li  to  2  inches  apart,  in  this 
respect  resembling  those  of  the  British  species  of  Phegopteris,  but 
there  is  this  difference  between  them,  that  in  luxuriant  plants  the 
fronds,  instead  of  being  produced  singly  at  the  nodes  of  the  caudex, 
are  in  small  fascicles,  sometimes  as  many  as  5  or  6  being  found 
together.  The  barren  fronds  are  the  first  to  appear,  about  the  month 
of  May,  the  fertile  ones  not  for  a  month  or  six  weeks  afterwards.  The 
fronds  continue  to  develop  during  the  whole  season,  until  stopped  by 
the  advent  of  frost,  which  kills  both  barren  and  fertile  fronds.  The 
stipes  is  from  the  thickness  of  a  stocking-wire  to  that  of  a  crow-quill, 
much  longer  and  stouter  in  the  fertile  than  in  the  barren  fronds. 
These  are  7  inches  to  2  feet  long;  the  lamina  is  6  to  18  inches  long, 
by  3  or  4  inches  broad ;  the  ultimate  segments  are  \  to  f-  inch  long. 
In  the  sterile  fronds  the  stipes  varies  from  3  to  9  inches  long,  and  the 
frond  is  from  3  to  15  inches,  and  from  2  to  6  inches  broad ;  the  ulti- 
mate segments  are  £  to  ^  inch  long,  commonly  contiguous,  so  that 
the  pinnae  have  not  the  pectinated  appearance  of  those  of  the  fertile 
fronds.  This  is  no  doubt  in  great  measure  owing  to  the  segments  of 
the  latter  being  recurved ;  but  even  when  the  latter  are  flattened  out, 
they  are  narrower  than  in  the  barren  fronds.  In  both  the  fertile  and 
barren  fronds,  but  especially  in  the  latter,  the  first  pair  of  segments  is 
often  larger  than  the  others,  and  the  pinnules  are  separated  almost 
down  to  the  midrib  of  the  pinna,  but  this  is  by  no  means  always  so. 


54  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

The  indusium  is  extremely  thin,  and  very  quickly  disappears,  after 
which  the  sori  appear  to  be  as  naked  as  in  the  genus  Phegopteris. 
The  young  fronds  have  generally  a  few  glands,  especially  beneath,  but 
these  can  rarely  be  detected  in  fully  matured  fronds ;  they  are  sessile, 
and  yellowish,  situated  chiefly  along  the  back  of  the  midribs  of  the 
pinnae.  Sometimes  a  few  very  minute  whitish  hairs  are  to  be  found  on 
the  rachis  and  lamina.  I  have  not  seen  British  specimens  with  the 
segments  cut,  but  Milde  gives  a  var.  "  pinnatifidum,"  from  Silesia,  in 
which  the  lacinise  are  irregularly  pinnatifid.

Caudex  short,  thick,  separating  into  numerous  crowns,  which  are 
also  thick  and  shortly  creeping  or  decumbent,  and  covered  by  the 
imbricated  bases  of  fronds.  Fronds  all  similar,  several  produced 
close  together  from  the  extremity  of  each  crown,  erect  or  inclined 
outwards,  deciduous.  Stipes  very  short,  stout,  channelled  on  the 
anterior  face  in  the  upper  part,  containing  2  vascular  bundles, 
glandular,  with  numerous  ovate-acuminate  pale  scales  which  are 
partially  persistent.  Lamina  firm,  bright  green,  glandular  beneath, 
oblanceolate  or  elliptical,  gradually  and  longly  attenuated  towards  the

slightly  falcate,  obtuse,  entire  or  faintly  eremite,  with  the  margins 
not   recurved.       Ultimate    veins   running    from    the    midrib    to    the

margins  of  the  segments,  forking  near  their  middle,  those  towards 
the  apex  of  the  segment  generally  simple  or  all  of  them  simple. 
Sori  attached  to  the  back  of  the  ultimate  veins,  forming  a  line  on 
each  side  of  the  main  vein  a  little  within  the  margin  of  the  segment, 
which  is  not  recurved  over  them.  Indusium  hyaline,  soon  disap- 
pearing, irregularly  roundish,  with  minute  stalked  glands  round  the 
margin,  generally  imperfect  or  malformed,  and  frequently  entirely 
absent.  Spores  granulated.  No  sterile  fronds  dissimilar  to  the 
fertile  ones. 

In  pastures  and  woods,  especially  in  hilly  districts.  Generally  dis- 
tributed in  England,  but  sparingly  so,  except  in  Wales  and  the  north  of 
England.  In  Scotland  it  is  frequent,  and  very  abundant  throughout 
the  highlands,  extending  north  to  Orkney  and  Shetland.  In  Ireland 
it  is  local,  and  rather  scarce,  though  it  is  found  from  the  north  to  the 
south  of  the  island.

Caudex  dividing  into  branches  from  the  thickness  of  a  man's  finger 
to  nearly  that  of  his  wrist,  that  is  taking  into  account  the  brown 
decayed  bases  of  the  stipites  with  which  it  is  clothed;  sometimes 
these  branches  are  so  short  that  the  plant  grows  in  a  great  tuft  with 
numerous  crowns,  but  usually,  when  growing  in  light  soil,  the  crowns 
are  quite  detached,  and  seem  like  separate  plants  until  the  caudex 
is  laid  bare  by  digging,  when  they  will  be  found  connected.  Stipes 
slightly  dilated  at  the  base,  where  there  is  a  more  or  less  evident 
rib  on  each  side  extending  for  a  short  distance  upwards,  above  this 
the  stipes  is  rounded,  with  the  exception  of  a  rather  deep  furrow  on 
the  anterior  surface,  which  is  continued  along  the  rachis  tc  the  apex 
of  the  frond.  The  fronds  are  ordinarily  2  feet  high,  but  vary  from 
7  inches  to  4  feet,  of  which  the  stipes  occupies  only  from  1  to  6  inches, 
the  breadth  is  from  2^  to  10  inches  ;  they  begin  to  unfold  in  May,  and 
perish  with  the  first  severe  frost  in  autumn.  There  does  not  appear 
to  be  a  continued  succession  of  fronds  as  in  L.  Thelypteris,  for  I  have 
not  noticed  young  fronds  appearing  later  than  the  end  of  July.  In 
their  young  state  they  are  of  a  delicate  pea-green  with  the  scales 
white  and  hyaline.  They  have  a  peculiarity  in  their  mode  of  unfold- 
ing :  the  pinnae  unroll  themselves  before  the  rachis  uncurls,  so  that 
as  the  latter  developes  the  pinnae  attached  to  the  unfolded  portion 
have  already  straightened  themselves  ;  the  end  of  the  rachis  goes  on 
unfolding  to  the  apex.  The  mature  fronds  are  more  or  less  firm, 
especially  so  when  growing  in  exposed  situations,  but  in  moist  shady 
woods  they  are  often  flaccid  ;  in  this  case  they  are  of  a  bright  pure 
green,  or  even  dark  green,  but  on  exposed  hillsides  they  are  more  of 
a  yellow  green.'    The  pinnae  diminish  in  length  rapidly  towards  the

base  of  the  frond,  and  the  lower  ones  are  more  distant  from  each  other  ; 
the  consequence  of  this  is  to  give  a  very  long  and  gradual  taper  to 
the  base  of  the  lamina.  The  sori  are  placed  very  near  the  margin  of 
the  segments ;  they  are  either  distinct  or  coalesce  in  a  line,  but  do 
not  cover  the  whole  of  the  lower  surface  of  the  frond,  but  are  always 
most  numerous  in  the  apical  half  of  the  frond. 

There  seem  to  be  no  true  varieties  of  this  Fern.  In  1872  I  brought 
a  plant  of  it  from  Glen  Cloy,  Arran,  which  was  the  ordinary  form 
with  entire  segments;  in  1878,  it  is  much  more  robust  than  it  has 
ever  been,  and  had  the  edges  of  the  segments  conspicuously  crenate 
and  undulated  too,  so  it  is  now  what  I  suppose  Mr.  Moore  calls 
crispa.  The  breadth  of  the  segments  also  varies  a  good  deal.  There 
are  a  few  monstrosities,  but  none  of  them  very  striking. 

Strangely  enough,  L.  Oreopteris  appears  to  have  been  sometimes 
mistaken  for  L.  Thelypteris ;  it  differs  by  its  thick  short  caudex, 
with  the  fronds  of  each  crown  arranged  like  the  feathers  of  a  shuttle- 
cock,  by  its  short  scaly  stipes  and  its  frond  greatly  attenuated  at  the 
base,  and,  when  fertile,  with  the  margins  of  the  segments  not  recurved 
so  as  to  cover  the  sori,  also  by  the  minute  yellow  glands,  which  are 
sprinkled  over  the  under  surface  of  the  frond,  and  which  give  it  a 
pleasant  scent. 

There  is  some  difficulty  in  deciding  whether  this  Fern  ought 
to  be  called  Oreopteris  or  montana.  There  is  no  agreement 
amongst  botanists  as  to  the  limitation  of  the  genera  of  Ferns,  the 
characters  on  which  the  genera  ought  to  be  founded  being  still 
an  undecided  question.  Very  possibly  the  microscopical  structure 
may  afford  more  natural  characters  than  any  at  present  employed. 
The  lower  the  plant  is  in  its  organisation,  the  more  permanent 
are  the  form  and  structure  of  the  cells  and  the  tissue  into  which 
they  are  combined.  It  is  now  generally  admitted  that  the  form 
and  disposition  of  the  leaf-cells  of  Mosses  can  be  advantageously 
employed  as  generic  characters,  while  in  Ferns  the  presence  or  absence 
and  even  the  shape  of  the  indusium  is  admittedly  liable  to  variation, 
and  genera  founded  on  characters  taken  from  it  present  the  most 
incongruous  groups.  In  consequence  of  this  want  of  agreement  as  to 
generic  names  it  has  become  a  general  rule  that  the  specific  name 
shall  not  be  changed,  and  that  the  first  specific  name  applied  to  a  Fern 
shall  be  retained  in  whatever  genus  it  is  afterwards  placed.  Seeing, 
then,  that  the  generic  name  is  unstable,  and  the  specific  name  un- 
changing, it  has  become  very  general,  not  only  amongst  fern-growers, 
but  amongst  botanists  in  this  country,  to  speak  of  Ferns  by  the  specific 
names  only.  We  speak  of  Dryopteris,  Filix-mas,  Filix-femina,  etc., 
without  using  generic  names  at  all,  except  in  the  few  cases  where  the 
generic  name  has  proved  stable  and  consists  of  but  a  single  British 
species,  as  Osmunda  or  Scolopendrium,  in  which  it  is  usual  to  use 
the  generic  name  alone.  The  same  practice  arising  from  the  same 
cause  occurs  in  entomology,  where  in  certain  groups  of  moths  but  a 


FILICES.  57 

single  name  is  employed,  as  '  Betularia,'  '  Yiridana,'  etc.  The  late 
Mr.  Xewman,  in  the  5th  edition  of  his  '  British  Ferns,'  designates 
nearly  all  the  Ferns  by  but  a  single  Latin  name.  Of  course  this  use 
of  a  single  name  can  only  be  practicable  provided  there  be  not  two 
British  Ferns  with  the  same  specific  name.  In  1781  Yogler  gave  the 
name  Polypodium  montanum  to  the  plant  just  described,  for  which 
I  have  retained  the  name  Lastrea  Oreopteris  although,  it  was  not 
until  1789  that  Ehrhart  named  it  Polypodium  Oveopteris  :  but, 
according  to  Milde,  Lamarck  had  previously  (1778)  applied  the  name 
Polypodium  montanum  to  the  Fern  now  known  as  Cystopteris 
montana.  Mr.  Xewman,  who  adopted  the  name  "  montana  "  instead 
of  "  Oreopteris,"  used  the  name  myrrh idi folia  for  Cystopteris  montana, 
as  it  was  named  Polypodium  myrrhidifolium  by  Yillars  in  1875,  con- 
sidering that  the  name  montanum  was  given  to  it  by  Allioni  in  1785, 
which  would  make  Allioni's  P.  montanum  later  than  Yogler  :  but 
Yogler's  P.  montanum  is  really  later  than  Lamarck's.  Linnaeus  seems 
to  have  confounded  P.  Oreopteris  with  his  P.  fragrans,  and  Hudson, 
in  the  2nd  edition  of  his  '  Flora  Anglica,'  gave  it  the  name  of  Poly- 
podium fragrans,  but  this  has  no  claim  to  be  retained.

Yar.  y,  in  open  ground  and  woods,  common  and  probably  generally 
distributed,  extending  north  to  Orkney,  where  I  have  seen  it  at 
Eamsdale,  Orphir,  and  in  Firth. 

Yar.  8,  apparently  rare,  and  according  to  Mr.  Moore  "  it  seems  con- 
fined to  North  Wales  and  to  alpine  localities,"  Snowdon  (Mr.  D. 
Cameron),  and  Llysgwyn  (Mr.  S.  0.  Gray).  I  have  a  specimen  from 
Teesdale,  collected  by  the  late  Mr.  A.  0.  Black ;  this  is  named  abbre- 
viata, but  it  is  not  the  plant  intended  by  me  under  that  name. 
Probably  some  of  the  stations  for  abbreviata  belong  to  what  I  regard 
as  pumila.  The  plant  growing  in  Scalpa  Bay  seems  to  be  Moore's 
crispa,  which  I  refer  to  pumila.  Yar.  subintegra,  Moore,  I  have  not 
seen,  but  judging  from  descriptions,  it  must  be  referred  to  pumila ;  it 
was  gathered  at  Ennis,  county  Clare,  Ireland. 

Yar.  e,  apparently  scarce.  Langdale  (Mr.  Gr.  B.  AYollaston) ; 
Borrowdale,  Cumberland  (Mr.  R.  B.  Harrison),  judging  from  plate 
of  abbreviata  cristata  of  Lowe's  'Native  Ferns.'  Ashurst  Park, 
Tunbridge  Wells  (Mrs.  Bolland),  judging  from  figure  188  of  Lowe's 
'  Native  Ferns.' 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.    Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Very  variable  in  size,  according  to  its  place  of  growth.  Yar.  a  has 
a  stout  caudex,  with  a  few  short  decumbent  divisions  about  the  thick- 
ness of  a  man's  wrist ;  the  fronds  are  9  inches  to  3  feet  high,  by  3  to 
8  inches  wide  ;  the  stipes  is  stout  (in  large  specimens  the  size  of  a  goose- 
quill),  3  to  7  inches  long,  and  contains  at  least  5  vascular  bundles, 
generally  7,  and  near  the  base  often  a  greater  number.  The  sori 
occupy  the  apical  half  or  two-thirds  of  the  frond.  Bachis  unrolling  in 
advance  of  the  pinnaa,  the  apex  of  the  frond  hanging  down  like  a 
shepherd's  crook,  afterwards  becoming  erect. 

Yar.  /3  is  probably  merely  a  nemoral  form  of  var.  a;  it  grows  to 
a  much  larger  size,  often  4  or  5  feet  high,  or  even  more,  by  9  to  15 
inches  broad,  or  even  more.  The  stipes  is  6  inches  to  1  foot  long. 
The  texture  of  the  frond  is  thinner,  more  shining,  and  is  less  rigid 
than  var.  a ;  the  pinnules  are  more  separated,  more  taj^ering,  much 
more  strongly  serrate  or  incised,  and  often  those  near  the  base  of  the 
lower  pinnas  are  pinnatifid  or  pinnatipartite,  with  the  divisions  again 
serrate.  The  indusia,  however,  are  rather  smaller  if  not  absolute!  v 
at  least  comparatively,  and  the  sori  are  generally  less  numerous,  not 
occupying  such  a  large  part  of  the  apical  portion  of  the  frond.  The 
spores  of  the  specimens  I  have  examined  are  smaller,  and  with  less 
elevated  tubercles.

Yar.  y  is  a  firmer  and  more  upright  plant  than  either  of  the  pre- 
ceding ;  it  is  about  a  week  or  ten  days  later  in  unfolding  its  fronds  in 
spring  than  the  plants  of  the  other  form  growing  side  by  side  with  it, 
and  it  bears  a  greater  degree  of  frost ;  for  although  in  Fife  it  is 
always  killed  by  the  winter's  frosts  on  exposed  hillsides,  in  woods 
the  fronds  survive  the  winter,  and,  unless  broken  down  by  snow, 
remain  upright  as  well  as  green  until  early  spring ;  while  var.  a 
growing  with  it  hardly  ever  survives  as  long  as  the  new  year, 
and  even  if  the  fronds  remain  green  till  then,  the  stipes,  which  is 
weaker,  gives  way,  and  they  lie  flat  on  the  ground.  The  much 
greater  number  of  scales  on  the  stipes  and  rachis,  and  their  per- 
sistence, is  also  a  marked  feature ;  but  perhaps  the  most  striking  is 
the  shape  of  the  indusium.  In  all  forms  of  Filix-mas  the  indusium  is 
firmer,  more  convex,  and  more  persistent,  than  in  any  other  British 
Fern  ;  but  in  var. paleacea  these  characters  are  most  pronounced.  In 
vars.  genuina  and  ajinis  the  free  or  anterior  margin  of  the  indusium 
is  not  incurved ;  it  looks  like  a  watch-glass  over  the  sporangia,  with 
the  notch  where  it  is  attached  to  the  vein  not  reaching  the  middle  of 
the  indusium,  and  represented  by  a  shallow  pit  connected  by  a  furrow 
with  the  reniform  posterior  margin.  In  var.  paleacea  the  free  margins 
are  incurved,  and  the  notch  extends  further  into  the  indusium,  so  that 
it  is  not  merely  reniform  in  outline,  but  actually  resembles  a  miniature 
sheep's  kidney  with  the  ends  brought  together.  In  size  it  varies  much, 
according  to  its  place  of  growth.  I  have  Monmouthshire  specimens 
in  good  fruit  less  than  a  foot  long  by  4  inches  broad,  and  in  woods  at 
Balmuto  it  grows  5  feet  long  by  I  foot  broad,  with  a  stipes  the  thick- 
ness of  a  man's  little  finger,  and  containing  11  vascular  bundles  when 
cut  halfway  between  the  caudex  and  the  beginning  of  the  lamina.  I 
much  regret  that  the  name  Borreri,  by  which  the  plant  is  generally 
known  in  this  country,  cannot  be  retained,  in  accordance  with  the 
riirid  rules  of  Fern-nomenclature,  as  Don  described  it  under  the  name 

•       -  it'll- 

of  Aspidium  paleaceum,  fifty-one  years  before  Newman  published  it 
as  Dryopteris  Borreri. 

Yar.  8.  pumila  much  resembles  a  dwarf  form  of  genuina,  but  the 
scales  are  more  numerous  and  darker.  The  chief  distinction  lies 
in  the  minute  glands,  with  which  not  only  the  under-surface  of  the 
frond  but  even  the  indusium  is  dotted.  I  have  no  authentic  wild 
specimens.  The  cultivated  plant  I  obtained  from  Messrs.  Sang, 
nurserymen,  Kirkcaldy,  and  believe  it  to  be  correctly  named.  It 
has  fronds  6  or  7  inches  long  by  2  broad,  and  is  remarkable  for  the 
extreme  shortness  of  the  stipes,  which  is  only  A  to  1  inch  long.  The 
points  of  the  pinnce  are  bent  upwards  and  slightly  twisted,  so  as  to 
give  a  crisped  appearance  to  the  frond.  Mr.  Black's  Teesdale  speci- 
mens, which  I  refer  to  pumila,  are  8  or  9  inches  long  by  3  inches 
broad,  with  petioles  about  1|  inch  long.  Both  of  these  have  but  from 
1  to  3  sori  on  each  pinna  or  ultimate  segment,  so  that  they  are  in 
a  row  on  each  side  of  the  midrib,  which  appears  to  be  one  of  the

characters  relied  on  to  distinguish  the  var.  ahbreviata  from  ordinary 
Filix-mas.  But  this  is  simply  the  effect  of  depauperisation.  Starved 
plants  of  vars.  genuina  and  paleacea  may  he  found  in  the  same  con- 
dition :  when  such  do  produce  sori,  the  difference  can  only  he  relied 
on  as  an  evidence  that  pumila  and  ahbreviata  helong  to  a  smaller  form 
or  race  than  vars.  <x,  /3,  and  y ;  for  these  three  when  so  small  as  ordi- 
nary wild  specimens  of  vars.  pumila  and  ahbreviata  produce  no  sori  at 
all.  The  form  called  crispa  by  Mr.  Moore  seems  the  same  as  a  plant 
which  I  gatnered  at  Scalpa,  and  is  much  more  robust  than  pumila, 
being  from  8  to  18  inches  high.  The  8-inch  specimens  have  mostly 
but  1  or  2  sori  on  each  pinnule,  while  the  larger  examples  have  6  or 
8  on  the  basal  ones.  It  has  much  the  habit  of  paleacea,  but  has 
scales  like  those  of  pumila,  and  glandular  fronds  and  indusia.  It  is 
remarkable  for  its  crowded  overlapping  pinnules,  which  are  imbricated 
one  over  the  other,  the  anterior  edge  of  each  being  turned  upwards. 
Each  pinnule  has  its  edges  reflexed,  so  that  it  is  convex  on  the  upper 
side,  but  the  apex  is  bent  upwards,  so  that  the  pinna,  taken  as  a 
whole,  is  concave. 

Var.  e  agrees  with  pumila  in  its  very  short  rachis  and  numerous 
glandular  scales  with  toothed  margins,  thicker  and  darker-coloured 
than  those  of  vars.  genuina  and  qffinis,  but  thinner  and  less  bristly 
than  those  of  paleacea.  The  fronds  and  the  indusia  have  more  nume- 
rous glands  than  in  var.  8.  pumila;  the  pinnules,  at  least  towards 
the  base  of  the  pinnae,  are  separate  from  each  other,  and  much  less 
twisted.  The  lower  pair  of  pinnae  are  not  so  much  shorter  than  the 
succeeding  pair,  and  the  frond  when  fully  developed  is  more  parallel- 
sided,  and  thinner  in  texture  and  of  a  yellower  green.  Indeed, 
but  for  the  short  stipes  and  firmer  indusium  they  might  be  mistaken 
for  those  of  L.  rigida  by  a  casual  observer.  A  cultivated  plant  which 
I  had  from  Messrs.  Sang,  of  Kirkcaldy  (who  got  it  from  the  late 
Dr.  Lyell,  of  Xewburgh)  has  the  fronds  10  to  15  inches  long  by  3 
to  5  inches  broad,  and  the  stipes  1  to  1\  inches  long;  but  others 
received  from  Mr.  TTollaston,  originally  from  Langdale,  have  the 
fronds  3  feet  6  inches  long  and  7  inches  broad ;  and  the  stipes  5  or 
6  inches  long.  Mr.  Moore  says  ("  Nat.  Print.  Brit.  Ferns,'  8vo.  ed., 
vol.  i.  p.  129),  "Indusium  fringed  with  glands."  But  I  have  never 
seen  this ;  they  are  dotted  with  glands,  but  not  fringed. 

Mr.  Lowe  says  of  his  ahbreviata  that"  specimens  would  have  readily 
divided  into  no  less  than  20  distinct  plants,  and  this  seemed  to  be 
quite  a  character  of  the  variety."  I  have  not  had  the  opportunity  to 
verify  this  record,  which  would  make  ahbreviata  a  multiceps  form, 
not  a  pauciceps  form,  as  ordinary  Filix-mas. 

Mr.  G-.  B.  Wollaston,  who  has  paid  great  attenlion  to  the  Ferns 
of  the  Filix-mas  group,  thinks  there  are  3  distinct  species  included 
under  this  name:  1,  L.  Filix-mas,  which  includes  vars.  genuina  and 
a 'Wnis;  2.  L.  pseudo-mas,  equivalent  to  var.  paleacea;  and  3,  L.  ahbre- 
viata  (Phyt.  1855,  p.   172)  or  L.  propinqua  (Lowe,  *  Native  Fernsy' 


FILICES.  65 

vol.  i.  p.  234).  Apparently  his  abbreviata  in  the  *  Phytologist ' 
included  the  var.  pumila,  but  in  Lowe's  ' Native  Ferns'  pumila  is 
arranged  under  pseudo-mas  (Lowe,  1.  c.  p.  280). 

If  we  had  merely  the  forms  affinis,  paleacea  and  abbreviata,  I  should 
certainly  have  described  them  as  subspecies,  but  with  vars.  genuina 
and  pumila  the  chief  forms  are  so  connected  that  I  am  unable  to 
separate  them  as  subspecies. 

The  present  species  is  readily  distinguished  from  L.  Oreopteris  by 
having  the  frond  much  less  tapered  towards  the  base,  and  the  sori 
remote  from  the  margins  of  the  pinnules.  The  indusium  is  very 
different,  being  firm,  reniform,  and  persistent. 

L.  Filix-mas  is  one  of  the  Ferns  which  delight  fern-growers,  from  the 
number  of  abnormal  forms  of  the  fronds  which  occur.  Some  of  these, 
which  have  the  ends  of  the  pinnae  and  apex  of  the  stem  cleft,  are 
extremely  beautiful,  while  others  in  which  the  pinnae  are  much 
reduced  are  at  least  curious,  if  not  beautiful. 

The  caudex  of  the  male  fern  has  long  had  a  reputation  as  an  anthel- 
mintic or  vermifuge.  The  caudex  must  be  gathered  between  the  end 
of  May  and  the  middle  of  September,  and  after  being  dried  in  the 
shade,  powdered  and  kept  in  well- closed  bottles.  The  powder  loses 
its  virtue  if  kept  much  longer  than  a  year.

long  to  nearly  as  long  as  the  lamina),  rather  stout,  flattened  or  only 
slightly  channelled  on  the  anterior  face,  even  in  the  upper  part 
containing  5  vascular  bundles,  thickly  sprinkled  with  minute  sessile 
glands,  and  rather  thickly  clothed  with  numerous  lanceolate  or  ovate- 
lanceolate  acuminate  denticulate  brown  conspicuously  glandular 
scales,  which  are  subpersistent,  or  more  rarely  partially  or  wholly 
persistent.  Lamina  firm,  dull  greyish-green,  thickly  sprinkled  with 
glands  on  both  sides  at  least  when  young,  strapshaped-oblong  or 
narrowly  triangular-oblong,  tapering  gradually  to  the  apex,  very 
abrupt  at  the  base,  bipinnate ;  lowest  pair  of  pinnae  triangular  or 
triangular-strapshaped,  about  as  long  as  any  of  the  succeeding  pairs, 
all  of  them  shortly  stalked,  pinnate,  flat  or  slightly  concave ;  ultimate 
pinnules  oblong  or  oblong-strapshaped,  or  strapshaped-triangular, 
scarcely  falcate,  not  decurrent  on  either  side  of  base,  obtuse  or  sub- 
acute, pinnatifidly  lobed,  with  the  lobes  serrate,  the  serratures 
generally  very  sharp  but  not  spinous-pointed.  Ultimate  veins  running 
from  the  midrib  to  just  within  the  margins  of  the  lobes  or  ultimate 
segments  of  the  pinnules,  with  each  venule  running  into  a  tooth. 
Sori  placed  on  the  pinnce  of  the  upper  half  or  two-thirds  of  the  frond, 
attached  to  the  back  of  the  anterior  venule  of  the  ultimate  lobes, 
forming  a  line  on  each  side  of  the  main  vein  of  the  pinnules  con- 
siderably more  approximate  to  it  than  to  the  margin  of  the  pinnule, 
extending  nearly  to  the  apex  of  the  pinnules,  sometimes  at  the  base  of 
the  pinnules,  also  on  2  or  more  branches  of  the  vein.  Indusium  firm, 
persistent,  roundish-reniforrn,  convex,  often  very  much  so,  sprinkled 
with  conspicuous  glands  over  the  whole  surface.  Spores  bluntly 
tuberculate  with  a  few  large  blunt  tubercles.  No  sterile  fronds 
dissimilar  to  the  fertile  ones.

Stipes  from  the  thickness  of  a  crow-quill  to  that  of  a  goose-quill, 
3  inches  to  1  foot  long ;  in  the  latter  case  (a  plant  from  Ingleborough 
collected  by  Mr.  Baker)  the  lamina  is  14  inches  long  and  5  inches 
broad  ;  in  another  Ingleborough  specimen  from  the  late  Mr.  A.  0.  Black, 
the  rachis  is  10  inches  long,  and  the  frond  14  inches  by  5  inches.  The 
colour  and  texture  of  the  lamina  is  not  unlike  that  of  Polypodium 
Robertianum,  no  doubt  on  account  of  the  small  whitish  glands  with 
which  the  plant  is  so  thickly  sprinkled  even  on  the  upper  side.  The 
under  side  of  the  frond  is  much  paler  than  the  upper.  The  scales 
on  the  lower  part  of  the  stipes  vary  from  ovate-lanceolate  to  lanceo- 
late;  those  on  the  upper  part  of  the  stipes,  rachis,  and  secondary 
rachides  are  much  narrower.  The  pinnae  are  spreading  or  ascending- 
spreading,  and  do  not  decrease  in  size  towards  the  base,  indeed  the 
lowest  pair  is  frequently  actually  longer  than  the  succeeding  pairs. 
The  pinnules  are  not  contiguous,  the  lower  ones  at  least  attached  by 
a  narrow  base,  which  is  frequently  more  or  less  auricled  on  account 
of  their  lowest  lobes  being  larger  than  the  rest,  they  taper  slightly 
towards  the  apex.  They  are  conspicuously  fringed  with  minute 
stalked  glands.  Indusia  yellow,  but  ultimately  appearing  lead-colour 
from  the  dark-coloured  sporangia  showing  through,  as  in  Filix-mas. 

L.  rigida  is  not  unlike  the  abbreviata  form  of  Filix-mas,  but  has 
a  much  longer  stipes,  a  more  opaque  frond,  which  is  very  much  more 
glandular,  and  is  more  abrupt  at  the  base  from  the  great  size  of  the 
lower  pair  of  pinnae.  The  indusia  are  thinner,  less  deeply  notched 
and  with  much  larger  and  more  conspicuous  glands,  which  are 
evidently  stalked.  The  multiceps  caudex  is  very  different  from  that 
of  any  form  of  L.  Filix-mas  I  have  seen. 

I  am  indebted  to  Mr.  Charles  Bailey,  of  Manchester,  for  a  living 
plant  from  Arnside  Knot.

Windermere,  Westmoreland  ;  first  observed  by  Mr.  Isaac  Huddart

L.  spinulosa,  and  L.  dilatata,  and  about  5  miles  from  limestone  rocks, 
where  L.  rigida  is  abundant.  (Mr.  Frederick  Clowes  in  Phyt.  1860, 
p.  227.)

Frond  resembling  in  outline  that  of  L.  Filix-mas,  var.  genuina,  but 
with  a  longer  stipes,  3  to  4  feet  high,  of  which  the  stipes  is  9  inches 
to  1  foot  long.  PinnaB  pointing  upwards  at  an  acute  anole,  longest 
in  the  middle  of  the  frond,  the  longest  5  or  6  inches  long ;  pinnules 
in  the  middle  of  the  frond  ^  to  1  inch  long. 

L.  remota  differs  from  L.  Filix-mas  in  its  longer  stipes  and  more 
compound  fronds.  The  pinnules  are  not  contiguous  and  are  attached 
by  a  narrow  base  to  the  partial  rachis  ;  they  are  nearly  equally  cut 
in  on  both  the  anterior  and  posterior  sides,  so  that  the  basal  ones  are 
almost  stalked,  with  a  tendency  to  be  broadest  near  the  middle  or 
a  little  below  it,  and  are  so  deeply  pinnatipartite  that  the  frond  be- 
comes almost  tripinnate.    The  partial  rachis  is  winged,  with  a  narrow

herbaceous  stripe  connecting  the  pinnules,  which  are  less  decidedly 
opposite  than  those  of  L.  Filix-mas  ;  and  the  lobes  of  the  pinnules  have 
a  more  decided  mid-vein  giving  off  branches  than  even  var.  affinis  of 
L.  Filix-mas,  though  it  does  obtain  to  some  extent  in  the  more  divided 
forms  of  that  variety ;  even  in  these,  however,  the  pinnules,  except 
those  at  the  bottom  of  the  pinna?,  are  narrowed  at  the  base  only  on  the 
anterior  side  and  decurrent  on  the  posterior  side.  In  L.  remota  the 
sori  are  placed  in  a  line  which  is  much  closer  to  the  midrib  of  the 
pinnules  than  in  L.  Filix-mas.  The  scales  also  are  different,  being 
more  varied  in  form  on  the  same  individual,  and  those  at  the  base  of 
the  stipes  are  broader.  The  indusium  is  smaller,  thinner  in  texture, 
and  with  the  depression  of  the  notch  less  marked  than  in  Filix-mas, 
and  the  edges  are  finely  denticulate. 

From  L.  rigida  it  differs  in  its  much  longer  fronds,  which  have  the 
basal  pinna?  conspicuously  smaller  than  the  succeeding  ones,  and  all 
of  them  making  a  much  smaller  angle  with  the  rachis.  The  pinnules 
are  much  larger,  and  are  not  to  be  auricled  at  the  base,  as  is  so 
frequently  the  case  with  L.  rigida ;  and  there  is  an  absence  of  the 
conspicuous  glands  with  which  the  rachis  scales,  upper  and  under 
sides  of  the  lamina  and  indusia  are  studded.  The  ultimate  veins  are 
more  clavate  at  the  apex  than  in  any  of  the  preceding  species  of 
Lastrea. 

Its  difference  from  L.  spinulosa  will  be  noticed  under  that  species. 

Of  this  plant  I  have  seen  no  living  specimens,  nor  do  I  possess 
dried  native  specimens.  I  have  received  dried  cultivated  specimens 
from  Windermere,  from  Mr.  G.  B.  Wollaston,  through  the  kindness 
of  Messrs.  F.  Currie  and  C.  E.  Broome  ;  and  also  from  Messrs.  E. 
Sang  and  Sons,  Kirkcaldy,  who  had  the  frond  from  Mr.  Lowe,  of 
Nottingham.  The  caudex  and  vernation  I  am  therefore  unable  to 
describe  from  personal  experience  ;  but  Mr.  F.  Clowes  writes  con- 
cerning the  former,  "  A  single  crown  of  it,  if  let  alone,  will  grow  up 
like  a  tree-fern,  and  requires  support  to  prevent  it  being  broken  by 
the  wind."  In  his  paper  in  the  2nd  ser.  of  '  Phytologist,'  1860, 
p.  220,  of  the  vernation  he  says,  "  Forms  side  loops  like  spinulosa  ; 
tip  not  so  disengaged  as  to  form  the  '  shepherd's  crook ' ;"  and  of  the 
pinna?  he  says,  "  Lower  ones  obliquely  triangular  from  the  greater 
length  of  posterior  basal  pinnules ;  the  surface  more  or  less  twisted 
upwards."  Here  we  have  two  additional  differences  from  Filix-mas 
in  which  the  well-known  "  shepherd's  crook,"  formed  by  the  top 
uncurling  frond,  is  particularly  observable  and  forms  a  marked  feature 
(though  it  is  said  to  be  imperfectly  formed  in  var.  abbreviata),  while 
the  second  point  is  the  twisting  of  the  pinnae  as  in  L.  spinulosa  and 
L.  uliginosa,  so  that  their  plane  does  not  coincide  with  that  of  the 
frond  as  a  whole,  which  it  does  in  Filix-mas. 

Milde  says  that  the  original  discoverer  of  this  plant,  the  late 
Professor  A.  Braun,  now  (1867)  considers  this  plant  a  form  of  Filix- 
mas  ;  but  Milde  himself  inclines  to  the  opinion  that  it  is  a  hybrid 


70  EXGLISH    BOTANY. 

between  Filix-mas  and  spinulosa ;  and  Mr.  Clowes  writes,  "  I  have 
no  doubt  that  L.  remota  of  Moore  and  Braim  is  a  hybrid.  It  has 
been  sown  over  and  over  again,  and  always  produced  L.  Filix-mas, 
var.  paleacea.  I  do  not  know  whether  L.  dilatata  or  spinulosa  has 
ever  come  up  from  its  spores ;  but  as  the  plant  called  L.  remota  has 
never  come  from  its  spores,  I  cannot  think  it  a  species  or  variety. 
I  do  not  know  whether  it  is  a  hybrid  between  L.  Filix-mas  and 
L.  dilatata  or  L.  spinulosa." 

It  appears  to  be  a  plant  of  extreme  rarity,  as  only  3  stations  are 
known  for  it — namely,  near  the  Cataract  of  Geroldsau,  in  the  Grand 
Duchy  of  Baden,  where  it  was  found  growing  with  L.  spinulosa  and 
Filix-mas  by  A.  Braun  in  1834;  in  the  Aachener-Busch,  between 
Aix-la-Chapelle  and  Altenberg,  found  by  Braun  in  1859  ;  and  at 
Windermere,  in  1854,  by  Messrs.  Huddart  and  Clowes,  but  it  was  not 
recognised  till  sent  to  Mr.  T.  Moore  in  1859.  In  1870  the  late  Mr. 
J.  Ward  sent  to  the  Botanical  Exchange  Club  some  examples  of  a 
Fern  from  the  Black  Plantation,  near  Richmond,  Yorkshire,  July 
1870.  The  specimens  were  named  by  Mr.  Ward  '  L.  dilatata,  var/ 
Mr.  H.  C.  Watson  named  them  '  spinulosa.'  I  was  inclined  to  refer 
them  to  Filix-mas,  var.  incisa.  The  specimens  are  almost  barren, 
and  evidently  malformed  ;  but,  except  for  the  shorter  and  broader 
fronds  (1^-  to  2  feet  by  5  to  8  inches),  less  acute  teeth,  and  the 
shorter  stipes,  they  agree  best  with  L.  remota.  It  is  to  be  hoped 
that  some  botanist  will  examine  the  locality.

Caudex  elongate,    rather  thick,    separating  into   numerous    small 
divisions  which  are  moderately  thick,  elongate,  and  creeping,  except 
where  the  plant  grows  in  dry  ground  (when  the  crowns  are  closely 
packed  together),  partially  covered  by  the  more  or  less  separated  bases 
of  former  fronds.     Fronds  of  2  kinds,  a  few  produced  close  together 
from  the  extremity  of  each  division  or  crown,  deciduous,  sub-evergreen. 
Fertile  fronds  quite  erect.     Stipes  rather  long  (from  one-third  as  long- 
to  as  long  as  the  lamina),  stout,  deeply  channelled  on  the  anterior  lace, 
containing  5  vascular  bundles,  without  glands,  more  or  less  sparsely 
clothed  with  broadly-ovate  cuspidate  concave  entire  very  pale  brown 
subpersistent    scales.      Lamina    firm,    rather    pale    yellowish-green, 
glabrous  and  without  glands,  strapshaped,  abruptly  acuminate  at  the 
apex,  very  abrupt  at  the  base,  pinnate ;  lowest  pair  of  pinnae  deltoid  or 
deltoid-triangular,  about  the  same  length  and  form  as  3  or  -4  of  the 
succeeding  pairs,  but  shorter  than  those  in  the  middle  of  the  frond, 
which  are  triangular,  all  of  them  shortly  stalked,  pinnatipartite,  or

half  of  the  frond,  attached  to  the  back  of  the  anterior  branch  of  the 
ultimate  veins,  forming  a  line  on  each  side  of  the  mid-vein  of  the 
segment  of  the  pinna  nearly  equidistant  from  it  and  the  margin  of 
the  pinnule    or  segment  and  extending  nearly  to  the  apex  of  the

Caudex  slowly  creeping,  sometimes  2  feet  long,  about  as  thick  as  a 
man's  thumb  or  more,  the  branches  terminated  by  crowns,  which 
advance  each  year;  but  when  growing  in  dry  soil  the  plant  becomes 
tufted,  as  the  divisions  of  the  caudex  do  not  elongate,  but  remain 
closely  packed  together,  forming  a  many-headed  caudex.  Fertile 
fronds  18  inches  to  3  feet  high,  of  which  the  lamina  is  9  to  18  inches, 
and  3  to  5  inches  broad,  very  stiffly  erect,  with  the  pinnae  rather 
distant,  5  or  more  of  the  lower  pairs  broader  shorter  and  more 
spreading  than  the  succeeding  ones ;  all  of  them  slightly  twisted,  so 
that  their  upper  surface  makes  an  angle  with  the  general  plane  of 
the  frond ;  in  vernation  they  are  flat,  and  applied  to  the  rachis. 
Barren  fronds  6  to  18  inches  long  by  3  to  6  inches  broad,  the  pinnae 
decreasing  from  the  middle  towards  both  base  and  apex,  closer 
together,  less  acute  than  in  the  fertile  fronds,  and  with  the  segments 
contiguous.  Stipes  slender,  3  to  6  inches  long.  Rachis  of  both 
barren  and  fertile  fronds  usually  bare  of  scales. 

I  am  indebted  to  Dr.  J.  Fraser  for  specimens  of  the  barren  fronds 
from  \Vybunbury  bog ;  and  also  to  Mr.  J.  F.  Robinson,  from 
Achmere.  These  fronds  appear  to  be  rare  in  herbaria,  botanists 
satisfying  themselves  with  collecting  the  fertile  ones.  I  have  never 
seen  them  deficient  in  the  cultivated  plant ;  and  though  when  weak 
it  produces  nothing  else,  yet  as  they  are  present  whenever  it  is 
growing  vigorously,  they  may  be  considered  as  a  normal  feature 
of  its  growth.

This  plant  cannot  well  be  confounded  with  any  British  Fern,  except 
L.  uliginosa.  The  differences  will  be  mentioned  hereafter.  Strangely 
enough,  L.  Filix-nias  was  figured  in  the  original  edition  of  '  English 
Botany,'  No.  1949,  for  it.  Smith  says  Mr.  Sower  by  was  deceived  by 
a  wrong  specimen  sent  from  the  Isle  of  Wight,  but  that  Filix-mas  was 
never  mistaken  for  cristata  by  him.  I  have  long  had  the  plant  in 
cultivation  from  Edgefield  and  Bawsey  Heath,  sent  me  by  the  Rev. 
Kirby  Trimmer ;  it  is  much  less  vigorous  than  L.  uliginosa  and  spinu- 
losa  growing  beside  it.

anterior  one  (which  runs  into  the  notch  between  the  teeth),  running 
into  the  teeth.  Sori  usually  occupying  the  whole  frond,  attached  to 
the  back  of  the  anterior  branch  of  the  ultimate  veins,  forming  a  line 
on  each  side  of  the  ultimate  segment  of  the  pinnule  in  the  lower 
pinnules,  and  of  the  pinnule  or  segment  itself  towards  the  apex  of

Barren  fronds  numerous,  arching  backwards,  much  shorter  than  the 
fertile  ones,  and  with  a  short,  slender  stipes.  Lamina  oblong, 
tapering  gradually  from  the  middle  of  the  frond  to  the  apex,  thinner 
in  texture  than  those  of  the  fertile  fronds,  pinnate ;  pinnse  approxi-

Rootstock  in  the  cultivated  plant  breaking  into  numerous  crowns, 
which  remain  closely  packed  together ;  they  attain  a  larger  size  than 
those  of  L.  cristata  before  they  break,  having  often  6  or  8  fronds 
growing  from  a  single  one.     No  botanist  seems  to  have  published 


FILICES.  75 

any  results  of  examination  of  the  caudex  of  this  Fern  in  its  native 
localities,  but  it  is  very  probable  that  the  branches  of  the  caudex, 
when  it  is  growing  in  boggy  soil,  creep  like  those  of  L.  cristata  and 
spinulosa,  both  of  which  assume  a  tufted  condition  when  grown  in 
ordinary  garden  soil ;  but  L.  uliginosa  certainly  forms  larger  crowns 
than  either  of  the  others  when  cultivated  under  precisely  similar 
circumstances.  Fertile  fronds  18  inches  to  3  feet  high,  and  4  or 
5  inches  broad ;  pinnae  rather  distant,  the  lower  ones  spreading,  the 
uppermost  ones  ascending,  all  somewhat  twisted  round  so  as  to  turn 
their  upper  surface  to  the  sky.  Barren  fronds  8  to  12  inches  long, 
by  2^  to  4  inches  broad. 

Occasionally  late  in  the  year  fertile  fronds  shorter  and  less  divided 
than  the  ordinary  ones,  and  consequently  much  more  resembling  those 
of  L.  cristata  than  the  ordinary  ones,  are  produced ;  but,  as  far  as  my 
experience  goes,  this  is  by  no  means  a  usual  occurrence.  It  seems 
as  if  sori  were  produced  on  what  ought  to  have  been  barren  fronds. 

A  very  puzzling  plant,  quite  intermediate  between  L.  cristata  and 
L.  spinulosa.  It  differs  from  the  former  in  its  longer,  narrower,  and 
more  acute  pinnae  and  more  separated  pinnules  or  ultimate  segments, 
many  of  those  next  the  rachis  being  pinnatifld,  and  with  their  lobes, 
as  well  as  the  margins  of  the  segments  towards  the  apex  of  the  pinna?, 
much  more  deeply  toothed,  and  the  teeth  more  decidedly  mucronate. 
The  basal  pinnules,  from  being  more  divided,  instead  of  giving  off 
veins  from  the  midrib  of  the  pinnule  which  run  to  the  margin,  give 
off  flexuous  veins,  running  into  each  lobe,  and  from  this  flexuous  vein 
are  given  off  ultimate  veins,  of  which  all  but  the  first  anterior  branch 
run  into  the  teeth,  and  terminate  in  a  clavate  apex  before  reaching  the 
point  of  the  tooth.  All  the  veins  are  much  more  deeply  impressed 
on  the  upper  surface  than  those  of  L.  cristata,  consequently  the 
surface  of  the  frond  is  less  smooth ;  in  fact,  but  for  its  rigid  upright- 
ness and  more  spreading  pinnse,  it  closely  resembles  the  less  divided 
and  narrower  states  of  L.  spinulosa.  I  have  never  found  mature 
spores  in  the  sporangia  of  my  cultivated  plants,  but  that  arises,  no 
doubt,  from  their  growing  in  too  dry  ground. 

The  barren  fronds  are  much  more  like  those  of  cristata  than  the 
fertile  ones,  indeed  it  would  be  scarcely  possible  to  separate  them  if 
mixed  up  among  each  other ;  usually,  however,  those  of  L.  uliginosa 
are  broader,  with  the  pinnae  more  acute,  the  ultimate  segments  more 
nearly  divided  from  each  other,  and  more  distinctly  serrated.  They 
are  darker  in  colour  and  less  smooth  on  the  surface. 

I  have  very  little  doubt  of  L.  uliginosa  being  a  hybrid  between 
L.  cristata  and  L.  spinulosa.  It  appears  to  be  found  in  company 
with  them,  but  is  certainly  less  abundant  than  L.  cristata,  and  much 
less  so  than  L.  spinulosa  :  now  if  it  were  an  intermediate  state  con- 
necting these  two  we  should  expect  to  find  it,  if  not  more  abundant 
than  either,  more  plentiful  than  one  of  them.  If  it  really  be  an  inter- 
mediate form  I   think  Mr.  T.  Moore's  view  is  the  only  one  tenable,

viz.,  that  we  must  consider  L.  cristata,  L.  uliginosa,  and  L.  spinulosa 
as  one  species.  In  the  '  Phytologist '  for  1852,  p.  694,  Mr.  Newman 
states  that  "  he  had  possessed  for  at  least  6  years  a  plant  of  that  form 
of  Lastrea  usually  known  as  cristata,  but  to  which  he  wished  to 
restrict  the  name  Callipteris,  by  Ehrhardt.  This  plant  originally 
came  from  Bawsey,  and  was  most  rigidly  typical  of  its  kind  ;  cultivated 
in  a  dry  London  atmosphere,  it  had  strictly  retained  its  original 
characters,  except  that,  getting  weaker  year  after  year,  it  has  grown 
small  by  degrees  and  beautifully  less.  The  weather  at  last  proved 
too  dry,  and  this  individual  plant  was  planted  in  bog  earth,  abun- 
dantly supplied  with  water  and  placed  in  a  close  greenhouse,  where 
the  thermometer  frequently  rose  above  90°  Fahrenheit.  Its  growth 
became  vigorous  in  the  extreme,  but  this  was  not  all.  Frond  after  frond 
appeared,  each  receding  more  than  the  last  from  the  typical  figure  of 
Callipteris,  and  approaching  that  of  uliginosa,  and  at  the  present 
moment  it  has  fronds  evidently  from  the  same  cormus,  which  would 
serve  admirably  as  representatives  of  both  supposed  species."  I  have 
tried  treating  L.  cristata  in  this  way  for  six  years,  but  it  has 
retained  its  typical  form.  Mr.  Newman  says  that  in  spring  it  is 
20  days  later  than  multiflora  (dilatata)  in  expanding,  10  days 
later  than  L.  spinulosa,  and  from  10  to  15  days  earlier  than  Callip- 
teris (cristata),  which  accords  pretty  well  with  my  own  experience, 
except  that  I  find  10  instead  of  20  days  the  difference  between 
dilatata  and  spinulosa ;  but  Mr.  Moore  has  never  found  any  constancy 
in  this  respect  with  cultivated  plants.  The  fronds  of  L.  uliginosa 
last  till  December  in  ordinary  years. 

Milde  quotes  Aspidium  Boottii,  Tuckerman  (A.  spinulosum  var. 
Boottii,  Gray,  Man.  Bot.  U.  S.)  as  a  synonym  of  L.  uliginosa,  and  I 
have  characteristic  specimens  of  it  from  Christiania,  sent  by  the  late 
Professor  Blyth,  under  the  name  "  Polystichum  spinulosum,  var.  fere 
P.  Boottii,  Americanorum,"  but  in  Gray's  Manual  the  involucre  of 
Boottii  is  said  to  be  glandular,  and  the  plant  to  be  closely  allied  to  the 
European  form  A.  remotum,  Braun,  while  in  Hook,  and  Bak.  Syn. 
Fil.  it  is  referred  to  L.  spinulosum,  and  L.  collina,  Newman,  is  given 
as  a  synon}Tm  of  var.  Boottii.  I  have  no  specimens  of  it,  and  therefore 
I  have  not  ventured  to  quote  the  American  name.

Cauclex  short  or  elongate,  rather  thick,  separating  into  numerous 
small  divisions,  which  are  moderately  thick,  more  or  less  elongate  and 
creeping,  but  sometimes  (when  growing  in  dry  ground  short  and  with 
the  crowns  closely  packed  together),  partially  covered  by  the  more  or

duced from  the  extremity  of  each  division  or  crown,  sub-evergreen, 
erect,  or  more  rarely  inclining  backwards.  Stipes  long  (from  one-third

entire  very  pale  brown  subpersistent  scales,  sometimes  intermixed 
with  lanceolate  ones.  Lamina  firm,  yellowish-green  or  deep  green, 
glabrous  and  usually  without  glands,  strapshaped  or  oblong-strap-

Caudex  slowly  creeping  when  growing  in  boggy  soil  or  leaf-mould, 
in  which  case  the  divisions  extend  and  separate  the  crowns  from  each 
other,  but  when  the  plant  grows  in  dry  soil  the  divisions  do  not 
elongate  and  the  crowns  remain  close  together,  so  that  the  plant  has 
a  number  of  small  tufts.  Fronds  9  inches  to  3  feet  high  or  more,  of 
which  the  stipes  is  usually  about  half,  but  sometimes  less,  and  some- 
times a  little  more.  Tar.  a  has  the  lamina  firm,  nearly  parallel- 
sided,  6  inches  long  by  2i  inches  broad  to  18  inches  long  by  5  broad, 
yellowish-green,  with  the  pinnae  pointing  upwards ;  in  this  state  it 
closely  resembles  the  fertile  fronds  of  L.  uliginosa,  but  the  frond  is 
more  divided ;  the  basal  pinnae  have  most  of  their  pinnules  separated, 
and  the  two  pinnules  at  the  bottom  of  the  pinnae  on  the  lower  side 
of  the  pinnules  are  much  longer  than  on  the  upper  side,  and 
though  this  occasionally  happens  in  L.  uliginosa  it  is  to  a  far  less 
extent.  The  pinnad  are  longer,  and  form  a  more  acute  angle  with 
the  rachis,  they  are  not  so  much  twisted  out  of  the  plane  of  the 
lamina,  so  that  their  upper  surface  is  not  so  horizontal.  Tar.  ft 
attains  a  considerably  larger  size,  and  is  broader  and  less  parallel- 
sided,  being  from  a  foot  long  by  5  inches  broad  to  2  feet  long  by 
11  inches  broad;  the  frond  is  much  thinner  and  of  a  deeper  green, 
and  the  lower  pinnules  are  often  again  pinnate.  The  sori  are  smaller 
than  in  var.  a,  and  do  not  become  confluent  as  they  often  do  in  it. 
Tar.  y  appears  to  be  a  form  which  Milde  refers  to  under  var.  ele- 
vatum.  "  Hujus  varietatis  formam  eximiam  in  montibus  Moravise 
observavi.  Pagina  subtus  glandulosa ;  glandulas  Ion  gas,  clavatas, 
unicellulares ;  dentes  laciniarum  longissimi,  in  glandulam  exeuntes. 
Indusium  glabrum.  Baches  dense  paleaceae ;  petiolus  dense  rufo- 
paleaceus,  brevior  (5-8"  longus).  Ceterum  lamina  angusta,  rigida, 
flavescens." — Fil.  Europ.  p.  133.     This  agrees  well  with  my  var.  y. 

The  creeping  caudex  with  its  numerous  small  divisions,  or 
when  in  dry  ground  the  caudex  dividing  into  numerous  small 
heads,  and  the  more  parallel-sided  frond  distinguish  it  from  L.  glan- 
dulosa. 

The  broad  concolorous  scales,  many-headed  caudex,  and  narrower 
fronds,  separate  it  from  L.  dilatata. 

The  spores  are  similar  to  those  of  L.  spinulosa,  with  a  few  large, 
rounded  tubercles,  not  closely  and  finely  muricated  as  in  L.  glandulosa 
and  dilatata. 

Tars,  a  and  /3  look  very  different  when  growing  wild,  but  when 
brought  into  the  garden  they  lose  most  of  their  peculiarities,  and 
it  is  probable  that  instead  of  being  true  varieties  they  are  states 
affected  by  their  place  of  growth. 

I  have  genuine  L.  spinulosa  from  Amherstburg,  Canada,  collected 
by  Dr.  P.  W.  Maclagan. 

Lastrea  remota  is  referred  by  some  botanists  to  L.  spinulosa,  but 
it  differs  in  the  far  more  numerous  scales,  many  of  them  narrowly 
lanceolate,  by  the  greater  number  of  pinna?  in  fronds  of  equal  size, 


80  ENGLISH   BOTANY. 

by  the  veins  being  less  impressed  above,  but  chiefly  by  the  inclusium 
being-  firm  and  very  convex,  and  retaining  its  shape  like  that  of 
L.  Filix-mas  instead  of  being  thin,  flat,  and  soon  crumpled  up  when 
the  spore-cases  swell  and  raise  its  edges.  Still  there  can  be  no 
doubt  that  it  is  a  form  connecting  L.  spinulosa  and  L.  Filix-mas.

Essex  "  (Mr.  Doubleday  ;  Newman).  L.  glandulosa  has  been  reported 
from  several  other  stations,  but  I  do  not  feel  sure  that  these  are  the 
same  as  plant  so-called  by  Mr.  Newman. 

England.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Lamina  14  inches  by  7  inches  to  2  feet  by  8  inches,  remarkable  for 
the  number  of  minute  glands  sprinkled  on  its  lower  surface. 

L.  glandulosa  is  a  very  puzzling  form,  being  intermediate  between 
L.  spinulosa  and  L.  dilatata,  and  to  some  extent  between  L.  remota 
and  L.  dilatata.  The  caudex  I  have  never  seen,  but  from  Mr.  New- 
man's description  and  from  the  recollections  of  the  Rev.  W.  H. 
Purchas  I  conclude  it  must  resemble  those  of  L.  remota  and  L.  dila- 
tata, in  not  breaking  into  a  number  of  small  crowns,  and  in  the 
divisions  keeping  an  upright  position  and  attaining  a  large  size,  with 
very  numerous  fronds  arranged  shuttlecock-fashion.  But  if  a  plant 
found  at  Windermere,  Westmoreland,  by  Mr.  F.  Clowes,  really  belong 
to  L.  glandulosa  and  not  to  L.  spinulosa,  it  has  a  caudex  "  nearly,  if  not 
quite,  as  creeping  as  that  of  spinulosa"  ('  Phyt.,'  ser.  ii.  1860,  p.  220). 
The  scales  are  intermediate  in  character  between  L.  remota,  L.  spinu- 
losa, and  L.  dilatata,  most  like  those  of  the  first,  perhaps,  but  more 
highly  coloured,  and  not  denticulate  at  the  margins ;  the  larger 
ones  resemble  those  of  spinulosa,  but  have  generally  a  more  decided 
dark  shade  in  the  centre,  though  less  so  than  those  of  dilatata,  and 
they  are  also  thinner  in  texture  than  those  of  the  last-named  plant. 
The  lamina  is  most  like  that  of  L.  spinulosa  in  outline  and  in  the 
shape  of  the  pinnules,  but  the  pinnae  are  longer  and  narrower,  and 
the  teeth  more  incurved,  and  (judging  from  dried  specimens)  the 
veins  are  but  very  faintly  impressed  on  the  upper  surface :  still,  were 
it  not  for  the  stout  caudex,  which  does  not  break  into  numerous 
crowns,  the  narrower  and  often  darker-centred  scales,  and,  above  all, 
the  finely  muricated  (not  coarsely  and  sparsely  tubercled)  spores, 
— the  plant  might   be    considered    a   broad-fronded   and   extremely 

VOL.  XII.  M 


82  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

glandular  form  of  L.  spimilosa.  Most,  authors  place  it  as  a  variety 
of  L.  dilatata,  with  which  at  least  Mr.  Newman's  original  plant 
seems  to  agree  in  the  caudex,  and  certainly  does  completely  in  the 
finely  muricated  spores  and  gland-fringed  indusium.  But  the  lamina 
is  narrower  and  less  divided,  the  pinnules  having  their  segments  con- 
nected quite  as  much,  or  even  more  so  than,  in  spinulosa. 

From  L.  remota  it  differs  in  having  a  much  shorter  frond  in  propor- 
tion to  its  width,  and  with  fewer  and  broader  pinnae,  with  distinctly 
mucronate  teeth.  The  lowest  pinna?  of  L.  remota  do  not  present  such 
a  broadly  and  obliquely  triangular  outline,  as  remota  has  not  the  first 
and  second,  or  even  the  third  pinnule  on  the  lower  side  of  the  pinna 
much  larger  than  those  on  the  upper  side.  The  indusium  of  L. 
remota  is  also  firmer  and  more  convex  than  that  of  L.  glandulosa,  and 
the  spores  are  bluntly  tubercled,  not  finely  muricated. 

I  cannot  help  suspecting  that  L.  glandulosa  is  a  hybrid  between 
L.  spinulosa  and  L.  dilatata.  \Vere  it  as  abundant  as  either  of  the 
two,  instead  of  being  very  scarce  we  might  consider  it  as  a  form  from 
which  L.  spinulosa  on  one  side,  and  L.  dilatata  on  the  other,  were 
diverging ;  and  the  same  might  be  said  of  L.  uliginosa,  from  which 
L.  cristata  diverges  in  one  direction  and  spinulosa  in  the  other ;  and 
lastly,  we  have  L.  remota,  which  connects  L.  spinulosa,  or  (as  seems 
to  me  more  probable)  dilatata  with  L.  Filix-mas.  Surely  it  would 
be  difficult  to  accept  an  aggregate  species  containing  Filix-mns  and 
dilatata.  Dr.  Goppert,  in  Cohn's  *  Kryptogamen  Flora  von  Schlesien,' 
makes  dilatatum,  spinulosum,  and  cristatum  subspecies  of  Aspidium 
spinulosum,  but  he  makes  Filix-mas  with  this  form  A.  remotum  a 
distinct  species,  which  seems  to  me  an  untenable  position.

longer  and  narrower  as  far  as  one-third  of  the  lamina,  after  which 
they  gradually  decrease  in  length  (or  rarely  the  second  pair  of  pinnas

rocks,  Orphir,  Orkney.  Mr.  Moore's  figure  of  his  variety  L.  Chanteriaa, 
given  in  his  '  Handbook  of  British  Ferns,'  so  closely  resembles 
Mr.    Newman's    figure   of  collina  in  his  '  Hist.  Brit.  Ferns,'  that  I

must  refer  thern  to  the  same  form ;  the  Rev.  Mr.  Chanter's  plant  was 
found  at  Hartland,  on  the  north  coast  of  Devon.

been  procured  from  Yorkshire. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.    Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

An  extremely  variable  plant,  though  it  can  scarcely  be  divided 
into  varieties  in  a  botanical  sense,  so  insensibly  do  the  different  forms 
merge  into  one  another  ;  whether  we  place  the  forms  under  two  or 
twenty  varieties  makes  very  little  difference,  with  the  exception  of 
the  form  lepidota,  which  is  a  doubtful  native,  and  is  certainly 
distinct  enough  to  be  called  a  true  variety,  if  not  a  subspecies.  The 
rootstock  is  remarkable  for  not  breaking,  i.e.,  it  continues  to  grow 
until  it  has  attained  a  large  size  before  it  divides  and  forms  new 
crowns,  in  this  forming  a  marked  contrast  to  that  of  L.  spinulosa. 
The  divisions  of  the  cauclex  in  the  large  wood  forms  of  the  plant  are 
often  as  thick  as  a  man's  arm,  and  are  generally  erect ;  but  some- 
times the  branches  of  the  cauclex  when  growing  amongst  dead  leaves 
or  bushes,  or  even  in  bogs,  become  as  slender  and  creeping  as  those  of 
L.  spinulosa,  but  they  differ  in  not  constantly  forming  new  crowns 
before  they  have  attained  a  large  size.  I  suspect  that  this  may 
account  for  the  statements  of  forms  of  L.  dilatata  "  being  nearly,  if 
not  quite,  as  creeping  as  spinulosa"  ('  Phyt.'  ser.  ii.  1860,  p.  229). 

I  have  numerous  specimens,  collected  in  Fife,  with  slender 
creeping  offshoots,  produced  from  large  crowns  of  ordinary  L.  dilatata. 
The  most  puzzling  forms  are  specimens  of  var.  alpina,  which  I  collected 
in  1875,  in  the  parish  of  Orphir,  Orkney,  growing  in  Naversdale  and 
Ryssadale.  These  had  small  crowns  and  often  decidedly  creeping 
branches,  and  in  many  instances  the  scales  were  broad  and  pale- 
coloured  and  the  lamina  narrow  and  parallel-sided.  At  the  time 
I  collected  these,  I  supposed  them  to  be  referable  to  the  glandular  form 
of  L.  spinulosa,  but  a  root  which  I  brought  to  Balmuto  has  produced 
much  divided  triangular-deltoid  fronds,  which  are  clearly  referable  to 
L.  dilatata,  although  the  scales  are  still  broader  than  those  of  the 
ordinary  plant  and  concolorous.  Usually  the  scales  of  L.  dilatata  are 
broadly  lanceolate  and  tapering,  intermixed  with  smaller  ones,  they  are 
entire  or  slightly  fimbriate,  and  have  a  brown  or  pitchy  stripe  down 
the  centre,  but  in  the  forms  which  Mr.  Moore  calls  alpina  (which  is 
probably  a  true  variety)  they  are  often  broader  and  nearly  concolorous. 

The  shape  of  the  lamina  varies  greatly,  but  it  is  almost  always 
broader  than  in  L.  sjainulosa.  I  have  fertile  specimens  from  5  inches 
long  by  1\  wide,  to  3  feet  long  by  15  inches  wide,  while  in  a  very 
handsome  form  of  alpina  from  Orkney  the  frond  is  15  inches  long 
and  5  wide,  with  the  fronds  very  delicate  in  texture  and  much 
divided,  and  the  scales  broad,  ferruginous,  and  nearly  concolorous. 


FILICES.  87 

The  texture  of  the  lamina  is  also  variable,  it  is  generally  firm, 
more  so  indeed  than  that  of  L.  spinulosa  when  growing  in  the  same 
localities,  but  in  the  form  alpina,  and  to  a  less  extent  in  the  wood- 
form  tanacetifolia,  it  is  thin,  but  is  never  at  all  translucent. 

In  most  of  the  forms  the  pinnules  are  more  or  less  convex,  when 
they  are  exposed  to  the  direct  rays  of  the  sun.  I  have  found  that 
a  flat  pinnuled  plant  brought  into  a  sunny  part  of  the  garden, 
produces  fronds  with  convex  pinna?.  As  a  general  rule,  the  more 
luxuriant  the  plant  the  more  divided  is  the  frond. 

The  number  of  glands  on  the  stipes,  rachis,  lamina  and  margin  of 
the  indusium  is  also  liable  to  great  variation,  though  I  have  never 
observed  the  indusium,  at  least  in  the  young  state,  without  some 
stalked  or  clavate  glands.  The  fronds  remain  green  all  winter  in 
sheltered  stations,  but  the  stipes  breaks  over  near  the  base,  and  the 
fronds  are  prostrate.  In  vernation  the  frond  occasionally  forms 
loops,  but  more  commonly  it  unfolds  regularly  as  in  other  Ferns. 

The  marking  of  the  spores  seems  very  constant ;  instead  of  a  few 
large  rounded  tubercles  as  in  L.  spinulosa,  they  are  thickly  covered 
with  small  conical  acute  tubercles. 

The  variety  lepidota  is  probably  a  distinct  species,  though  its  native 
locality  is  doubtful ;  it  is  much  more  divided  than  any  of  our  British 
forms,  quite  as  much  as  or  even  more  so  than  the  North  American 
L.  intermedia  (which  also  occurs  in  Madeira),  and  it  agrees  with  this 
in  the  lamina  having  a  triangular  or  deltoid-ovate  outline  (though 
more  ovate  in  lepidota  than  in  L.  intermedia),  but  it  differs  conspicu- 
ously in  the  shorter  broader  blunter  and  paler  scales,  and  in  the  first 
pair  of  pinnules  of  the  basal  pinna?  being  longer  than  the  second,  as 
in  all  the  British  forms  of  L.  spinulosa,  dilatata  and  a?mula,  and  also 
in  not  having  the  pinna?  spreading  at  right  angles  to  the  rachis,  and 
the  pinnules  at  right  angles  to  the  secondary  rachides.  One  of  the  most 
striking  peculiarities  of  lepidota  is  the  number  of  broad  cuspidate  and 
narrow  piliferous  scales  which  clothe  the  under  surface  and  sides  of  the 
primary,  secondary,  and  tertiary  rachides ;  the  teeth  of  the  segments 
are  strongly  incurved,  and  terminate  in  conspicuous  mucros.  Lamina 
G  inches  to  1  foot  long,  by  4  to  8  inches  broad.  I  obtained  the  plant 
I  have  in  cultivation  from  Messrs.  Sang's  nursery  in  Kirkcaldy, 
and  have  no  doubt  it  is  the  same  as  that  described  by  Mr.  Moore.

Berwick,  Roxburgh  and  Forfar.  It  is  abundant  in  the  Wauk  Mill 
Bay,  Orphir,  Orkney ;  and  the  late  Dr.  T.  Anderson  found  it  rather 
common  in  Hoy,  but  there  I  have  only  seen  it  on  Hoy  Hill,  and  in 
Fara  and  Calf  of  Flotta ;  Dr.  H.  Halcro  Johnson  informs  me  that  it 
is  abundant  on  the  Calf  of  Cava,  in  Scalpa  Flow.  In  Ireland  it  is 
distributed  from  north  to  south,  but  it  is  most  plentiful  in  the  west. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Caudex  producing  a  number  of  crowns,  which  are  closely  packed 
together,  in  this  respect  resembling  the  caudex  of  L.  rigida.  Fronds 
8  inches  to  3  feet  high,  of  which  the  stipes  is  usually  about  half ;  it 
is,  for  more  or  less  of  its  length  from  the  base  upwards,  tinged  with 
purplish-brown,  and  is  not  so  deeply  furrowed  as  in  L.  dilatata 
and  L.  spinulosa.  Lamina  vivid  green,  crisped,  from  the  tips  of  the 
ultimate  pinnules  and  segments  being  turned  upwards,  covered  on 
both  sides  with  minute  glands  like  those  of  L.  rigida,  which  it  also 
resembles  in  the  texture  of  its  fronds,  which  are  firm  and  almost  rigid, 
without  being  coriaceous.  Veins  clavate  towards  the  apex,  as  in 
the  other  species,  and  not  extending  quite  to  the  teeth  of  the  lobes. 
Sori  large,  with  the  indusium  much  more  convex  than  in  the  other 
spinulose  Lastrese,  almost  as  much  so  as  in  L.  rigida.  In  British 
specimens  the  jointed  filaments  round  the  edge  of  the  indusia  can 
seldom  be  found,  though  I  have  observed  them  in  Plymouth  speci- 
mens ;  but  in  those  from  the  Azores  they  are  much  more  frequently 
met  with.  The  spores  resemble  those  of  L.  Filix-mas,  L.  rigida, 
L.  cristata,  and  L.  spinulosa,  in  having  a  few  large  rounded  tubercles 
and  no  minute  acute  ones.

This  Fern  has  been  confounded  with  L.  dilatata,  but  it  is  scarcely 
possible  to  mistake  them  when  the  plants  are  alive.  The  bright 
green  colour  of  the  frond,  its  crisp  texture  and  concave  pinnae,  readily 
distinguish  it.  It  has  also  a  peculiar  sweet  scent,  which  has  been 
compared  to  the  odour  of  fresh  hay,  though  I  do  not  myself  perceive 
the  resemblance.  When  protected  from  frost  the  fronds  are  truly 
evergreen,  the  old  ones  remaining  until  the  young  ones  appear  in 
May,  and  the  fronds  begin  to  decay  at  the  extremity,  and  not  near 
the  base  of  the  rachis.  The  scales  are  fewer,  narrower,  and  some  of 
them  laciniate,  with  one  or  two  large  acute  segments,  and  they  are 
destitute  of  the  dark  stripe  which  is  so  commonly  found  in  those  of 
L.  dilatata ;  the  lowest  pair  of  pinnae  are  much  larger,  generally 
longer  than  any  of  the  succeeding  pairs,  and  the  frond  is  sprinkled 
with  round,  sessile,  not  stalked  or  clavate  glands ;  the  sori  are 
generally  more  abundant ;  the  indusia  are  much  more  convex,  and 
the  spores  are  not  muricated.

GENUS  /X-POLYSTICHUM.    Roth. 

Fronds  produced  from  the  extremity  of  the  caudex,  approximate 
and  tufted,  or  solitary,  usually  coriaceous,  once  or  more  times 
pinnate.  Stipes  not  articulated  to  the  caudex.  Veins  all  free.  Sori 
punctiform,  round,  at  the  extremity  of  the  ultimate  veins  or  attached 
to  some  portion  of  their  back.  Indusium  roundish,  peltate,  attached 
by  the  centre  :  rarely  the  indusium  is  absent  or  fugacious. 

Name  from  ttoXv  (polu)  much,  and  otiktos  (stiktos)  spotted  or  punctured,  from  the 
numerous  sori.

coriaceous,  rigid,  dark  green,  shining,  much  paler  beneath,  strapshaped, 
tapering  gradually  at  the  base  and  apex,  pinnate  ;  rachis  thickly  clothed 
with  lanceolate,  and  the  under  surface  of  the  frond  sparingly  clothed 
with  linear  scales,  many  of  which  are  deciduous  ;  pinnae  very  shortly

impressed  on  the  upper  surface,  but  deeply  so  beneath,  running  from 
the  mid-vein  of  the  pinna  and  auricle  to  the  margin,  and  giving  off 
one  or  two  branches,  which  run  to  the  base  of  the  teeth.  Sori 
commonly  confined  to  the  upper  half  or  third  of  the  frond,  but 
occasionally  extending  further  down,  round,  attached  to  the  first 
anterior  branch  of  each  of  the  ultimate  veins,  and  forming  a  line  on 
each  side  of  the  mid-vein  of  the  pinna,  about  equidistant  from  the 
mid-vein  and  the  margin,  with  a  loop  at  the  base  extending  into 
the  auricle,  and  in  luxuriant  plants  sometimes  with  a  second  short 
line  between  the  primary  one  and  the  margin  on  the  base  of  the 
upper  side  of  the  pinnae  immediately  above  the  auricle.  Indusium 
umbilicate,  circular,  dentate  at  the  margin,  soon  shrivelling.  Spores 
tuberculate,  with  rather  large  very  prominent  obtuse  tubercles,  inter- 
mingled with  numerous  smaller  and  more  acute  ones.

consisting  only  of  the  dilated  base,  which  remains  permanently 
attached  to  the  caudex,  and  is  rarely  above  1  or  2  inches  long,

iu  Ireland. 

Var.  $  apparently  much  rarer,  and  probably  not  extending  north 
to  Scotland  :  but  the  authors  of  the  '  Cybele  Hibernica '  speak  of  the 
form  A.  lobatum,  Sra.,  as  being  rare  in  Ireland,  so  that  we  may  infer 
that  the  var.  /3  is  the  commoner  in  that  island. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.    Perennial.     Summer. 

Caudex  1J  inch  or  more  in  diameter,  breaking  into  a  few  crowns 
when  old,  which  remain  close  together,  so  that  the  plant  becomes 
tufted.  Stipes  short  and  thick,  from  2  to  5  inches,  closely  covered 
with  large  scales,  intermixed  with  minute  ones.  Fronds  1  to  2  feet 
long,  3  to  7  inches  broad,  more  parallel-sided  when  large  than  when 
small,  at  first  with  scattered  hair-like  scales  beneath  ;  appearing  in 
May,  and  not  perishing  until  the  young  fronds  of  the  succeeding 
year. 

Yar.  /3  has  larger  more  rigid  and  more  divided  fronds  (2  to  3  feet 
long)  ;  and,  except  in  being  more  rigid  than  in  var.  a,  it  has  the 
frond  more  resembling  that  of  P.  anguJare ;  its  caudex  takes  a  longer 
time  to  form  new  crowns. 

Young  seedling  plants  of  P.  lobatum  bear  a  very  close  resemblance 
to  P.  Lonchitis,  being  simply  pinnate ;  they  may  always  be  dis- 
tinguished, however,  by  their  more  parallel-sided  fronds  of  much 
thinner  texture,  and  having  no  fructification  upon  them:  by  the 
time  they  are  sufficiently  developed  to  have  sori,  the  pinnae  have 
become  at  least  deeply  pinnatifid  or  pinnatipartite  at  the  base  ;  this 
form,  which  is  sometimes  called  var.  lonchitidoides,  cannot  be 
considered  a  true  variety,  because,  if  cultivated,  it  always  develops 
into  unmistakeable  P.  lobatum.  On  the  other  hand,  when  P. 
lobatum  is  weakened  or  starved,  it  tends  to  revert  to  the  form 
lonchitidoides .  On  this  account  it  is  impossible  to  agree  with  Bernhardi 
in  uniting  P.  Lonchitis  and  P.  aculeatum  as  forms  of  one  species, 
though  they  are  certainly  very  closely  allied.  P.  lobatum,  var.  a, 
becomes  more  developed,  stronger,  and  more-  divided,  but  does  not 
change  into  /3.  aculeatum,  though  it  is  often  impossible  to  distinguish 
dried  specimens  of  vars.  a  and  /3  from  each  other.

Cumbraes,  kindly  sent  me  by  Mr.  Gr.  Horn.  It  occurs  throughout 
Ireland,  and  is  abundant  in  many  parts  of  the  west  and  south  of  that 
island.  Tar.  /3,  in  various  forms,  is  not  uncommon  in  damp  shady 
situations  in  the  south  of  England  and  Ireland.  Tar.  y,  Selworthy, 
Somersetshire,  and  near  Otterv  St.  Mary's,  Devonshire  (Mr.  AYol- 
laston).  Tar.  S,  Devon,  Somerset,  and  Ireland  ;  but  it  is  rather  a 
monstrosity  than  a  true  variety. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer. 

Fronds  18  inches  to  4  feet  high  or  more,  and  4  to  10  inches  wide. 
Stipes  2  to  6  inches  long,  containing  5  vascular  bundles,  as  in 
P.  Lonchitis  and  P.  lobatum  ;  but  it  is  much  more  densely  scaly,  and 
the  scales  are  much  brighter  in  colour,  being  reddish-brown  instead 
of  dusky  brown.  The  under  side  of  the  frond  has  more  numerous 
hair-like   scales,  and  these  are  more  persistent.     The  frond  is  much

softer  in  texture,  of  a  brighter  and  yellower  green,  more  abrupt  at 
the  base,  from  even  the  lowest  pinnae  being  elongated  so  that  the 
frond  does  not  taper  insensibly  to  the  base ;  the  pinnules  are  smaller 
in  proportion,  more  distinctly  stalked,  and  with  a  greater  basal  angle 
than  those  of  P.  lobatum,  and  fewer  of  them  towards  the  apex  of  the 
pinna?  and  towards  the  apex  of  the  frond  are  confluent.  The  indusia 
are  larger  and  more  convex. 

The  seedling  form  of  P.  angulare  apparently  never  has  the  close 
resemblance  to  adult  P.  Lonchitis  which  that  of  P.  lobatum  has,  for  it 
has  an  elongated  stipes  and  an  abrupt-based  frond,  with  deeply 
pinnatifid  lower  pinna?,  even  though  it  may  be  but  a  couple  of  inches 
long. 

P.  angulare  is  much  more  sensitive  to  frost  than  P.  lobatum.  In 
Balmuto  Garden  the  former  has  its  fronds  always  destroyed  during 
the  winter ;  while  those  of  P.  lobatum  remain  green  until  the  new 
fronds  are  developed  in  summer. 

Yar.  /3,  which  TTilde  considers  the  Aspidium  hastulatum  of  Ten  ore, 
bears  much  the  same  relation  to  the  ordinary  form  of  P.  angulare 
that  the  var.  amnis  of  Lastrea  Filix-mas  bears  to  the  var.  <jenuina  of 
that  species. 

The  var.  alatum  of  Moore  shows  an  approximation  to  P.  lobatum, 
var.  aculeatum,  in  having  the  pinna?  running  into  a  narrow 
herbaceous  wing  along  the  rachis  ;  but  in  texture,  form  of  frond,  and 
pinna?  it  agrees  wuth  the  type  of  P.  angulare. 

Tar.  gracih',  with  other  forms,  called  by  fern-cultivators  lineare, 
cjrandidens,  confluens  and  proliferum,  are  remarkable  for  their  narrow 
lanceolate  incised  pinna?,  with  wedge-shaped  bases,  not  strongly 
curved  on  the  posterior  side,  so  that  in  this  they  also  show  some 
approach  to  P.  lobatum,  but  the  forms  are  usually  malformed  or 
monstrous. 

P.  angulare  is  a  special  favourite  with  fern-growers,  as  it  produces 
a  great  number  of  curious  and  abuormal  deviations,  there  being  over 
150  named  forms  in  cultivation. 

It  is  remarkable  that  P.  Braunii  (Aspidium  Braunii,  Milde,  Fil. 
Europ.  p.  108)  growing  in  continental  Europe  has  not  occurred  in 
Britain  ;  it  appears  to  be  the  only  one  of  the  group  of  plants  included 
in  the  Polvpodium  aculeatum  of  Linna?us  which  occurs  in  Xorway 
and  Sweden,  and  in  North  America.  Mr.  Moore  considers  it  as 
a  variety  of  P.  angulare  ;  but  Milde  regards  it  as  a  subspecies  equal Iv 
distinct  from  P.  angulare  (which  he  calls  aculeatum)  and  from  P. 
lobatum,  under  which  he  includes  the  aculeatum  of  Smith.  In  texture 
and  habit  it  agrees  with  P.  angulare,  but  the  fronds  taper  insensiblv 
to  the  base,  and  have  a  very  short  stipes,  as  in  P.  lobatum.  The 
pinna?  are  larger  in  proportion  than  P.  angulare,  and  have  numerous 
hair-like  scales  when  young,  not  only  on  the  lower,  but  on  the  upper 
surface,  which  is  not  the  case  in  P.  angulare  or  P.  aculeatum  ;  and 
the  sori  are  larger  than  those  of  P.  angulare,  and  much  less  numerous.

I  have  not  seen  the  plant  alive,  but  the  large  scales  of  the  stipes 
seem  paler  in  colour  than  in  P.  angulare ;  and,  judging  from  dried 
specimens,  the  seedling  state  is  more  similar  to  the  adult.

I  have  gathered  it  on  Catjaghiamman  and  on  the  mountains  which 
separate  Glen  Lochy  from  Glen  Dochart.  Glen  Isla,  Clova,  Forfar 
(Mr.  J.  Roy). 

England,  Scotland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Plant  growing  in  tufts  of  smaller  size  than  in  TV.  Ilvensis,  and 
with  the  fronds  more  persistent  and  usually  smaller,  1  to  2  inches 
being  the  average  length,  and  6  inches  the  largest  I  have  seen,  of 
which  the  petiole  is  generally  less  than  one-half.  Breadth  of  lamina 
I  to  !  inch.  Pinna?  shorter  and  broader  at  the  base  than  in 
W.  Ilvensis,  with  fewer  and  shallower  lobes  ;  and  above  all,  without 
the  thick  covering  of  reddish  hairs  and  scales  which  are  on  the  under 
side  of  the  fronds  of  W.  Ilvensis. 

Mr.  Roy's  specimens  from  Glen  Isla  have  broader  fronds,  with 
longer,  narrower,  and  more  deeply  divided  pinna?,  more  like  those  of 
W.  Ilvensis  than  of  W.  hyperborea,  but  they  are  destitute  of  scales  on 
the  mid-veins  of  the  pinna? ;  but  some  of  the  Moffat  specimens  of 
W.  Ilvensis  are  almost  destitute  of  these  scales,  while  in  others  they 
are  abundant,  so  that  I  think  it  very  probable  those  authors  are  right 
who  treat  them  as  merely  subspecies.  Mr.  Wollaston  informed  the 
late  Mr.  Xewman  that  in  W.  hyperborea  the  frond  has  its  clusters  of 
capsules  very  conspicuous,  even  in  its  youngest  state  and  imme- 
diately it  begins  to  unfold,  and  that  its  fronds  are  nearly  persistent. 
In  W.  Ilvensis  the  sori  are  not  apparent  until  the  frond  has  attained 
its  full  size,  and  the  fronds  wither  in  autumn.

when  exposed  to  the  sun,  not  shining-,  very  variable  in  its  degree  of 
division  and  in  the  shape  of  its  ultimate  segments,  which  are  some- 
times acute,  sometimes  obtuse,  and  vary  from  pinnatipartite  to  serrate 
or  crenate,  with  the  bases  sometimes  greater  than  a  right  angle, 
at  other  times  wedge-shaped,  often  more  or  less  decurrent  on  the  lower 
side.  From  this  extreme  variability  of  shape  and  cutting  of  the 
pinnules  or  segments,  I  have  been  compelled  to  adopt  the  general 
outline  of  the  frond  as  the  mode  of  separating  C.  eu-fragilis  into  two 
varieties, 

Var.  dentata  when  typical  has  the  frond  not  more  than  bipinnate, 
sometimes  scarcely  even  bipinnate,  and  both  the  pinnae  and  the 
pinnules  are  blunter  at  the  apex  than  in  the  common  form.  Professor 
Babington  states  that  the  spores  of  var.  dentata  are  "  warted,"  but  in 
all  the  specimens  named  '  dentata '  I  have  examined  they  have  the  long 
sharp  spur-like  tubercles  characteristic  of  0.  eu-fragilis. 

Milde,  under  var.  dentata,  gives  an  Algerian  form  from  Blidah, 
collected  by  Gr.  Munby,  which  has  verrucose  spores.  This  I  have  not 
seen,  but  certainly  should  not  refer  it  to  eu-fragilis  at  all,  as  the 
striking  difference  between  the  spores  seems  to  me  the  only  tangible 
difference  between  C.  eu-fragilis  and  C.  alpina. 

C.  angustata,  Sm.,  appears  rather  a  finely  cut  form  of  var.  dentata 
than  a  narrow  form  of  var.  genuina.

(except  those  next  the  rachis),  inciso-crenate  or  pinnatifid ;  ultimate 
segments  roundish,  indistinctly  notched  or  subentire.  Ultimate  veins

On  rocks  and  walls,  very  rare.  Yar.  a.  Teesdale,  Durham.  Mr. 
Backhouse,  1872.  Mr.  Moore  has  received  authentic  specimens  "said 
to  have  been  gathered  in  Derbyshire  and  in  Yorkshire,  but  without 
more  particular  habitats  assigned,"  from  Mr.  H.  Shepherd  ;  but  he  "  has 
not  seen  a  native  mountain  specimen  of  C.  regia,  unless  it  be  one  from 
Saddleback  in  Cumberland,  gathered  many  years  since  by  Mr.  S.  O. 
Grey."  ('  Nat,  Print.  Brit.  Ferns,'  8vo  ed.  Yol.  II.  p.  271.)  It  used 
to  grow  on  a  garden  wall  at  Low  Leyton  in  Essex,  and  I  believe  it

is  still  to  be  seen  on  some  walls  in  that  village  ;  but  doubtless  it  has 
originally  been  an  escape  from  cultivation. 

Yar.  fi.  In  a  cavern  south  from  the  harbour  of  Cove,  Kincardine- 
shire, but  now  almost  or  quite  extinct ;  originally  found  there  by  the 
late  Professor  Knight  of  Aberdeen,  and  distributed  in  a  living  state  by 
Dr.  Dickie.  The  late  Mr.  C.  Barter  states  he  found  it  on  rocks  about 
two  miles  beyond  the  Cove  towards  Lighthouse  Point,  where  a  small 
rill  falls  over  the  rocks  (Phyt.  series  ii.  1855-56,  p.  509):  I  do  not 
know  if  this  statement  has  been  authenticated  by  competent  authority. 
Dr.  Dickie  writes  that  he  "  saw  it  on  dripping  walls  and  rocks  near 
the  road  about  3  or  4  miles  north  from  Dunkeld,  Perthshire."  Very 
probably  some  of  the  stations  given  for  C.  eu-fragilis,  var.  dentata, 
belong  to  C.  alpina,  var.  Dickieana. 

England,  Scotland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Plant  very  similar  to  C.  eu-fragilis,  and  about  the  same  size. 
Fronds  3  inches  to  1  foot  long,  or  a  little  more.  Yar.  a  has  the  lamina 
commonly  much  more  divided,  and  the  primary  pinna?  commonly 
shorter  and  more  ovate  in  outline,  and  usually  more  abruptly 
pointed  than  in  C.  eu-fragilis  :  the  narrow  ultimate  segments  give  the 
pinnae  some  resemblance  to  those  of  Chcerophyllum  Anthiscus. 

Yar.  j3  bears  a  very  close  resemblance  to  C.  eu-fragilis,  var.  dentata.    In 

the  wild  plant  of  which  I  have  seen  but  a  single  frond,  both  the  pinna? 

and  the  pinnules  are  crowded;  the  pinna?  slightly  twisted  and.  the 

basal  pinnules  decurrent,  and  those  towards  the  extremity  of  the  pinna? 

confluent,  so  that  the  pinna?  are  pinnatipartite  at  the  base  and  simply 

pinnatifid  towards  the  apex.     When   cultivated,  however,  seedlings 

present  not  only  this  form  of  frond,  but  others  which  are  much  more 

deeply  divided,  so  that  the  pinnae  become  bipinnate  at  the  base  and 

pinnatipartite  towards  the  apex,  and  cease  to  be  contiguous.    The  spores 

are  precisely  similar  to  those  of  C.  alpina,  having  blunt  rounded  slightly 

elevated  tubercles,  and  not  long  spine-like  ones  such  as  we  find  on  the 

spores  of  C.  eu-fragilis.     This  peculiarity  of  the  spores  Mr.  Moore 

believes  to  have  been  first  pointed  out  by  Mr.  Wollaston,  and  it  is  I 

think   conclusive    that  Dr.   Milde    is   right   in   referring    the   form 

Dickieana   to    C.  alpina  and   not   to  C.  eu-fragilis.     As  far  as  my 

experience  goes,  the  sculpture  of  the  spores  is  one  of  the  most  constant 

characters  to  be  found  among  ferns  ;  and  after  cultivating  C.  Dickieana 

for  many  years,  I  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  the  tuberculatum 

of  the  spores  remains  constantly  identical  with  that  of  C.  alpina,  and 

distinct  from  all  the  forms  of  C.  eu-fragilis.     In    the  more  finely 

divided  seedling  plants  there  is  a  decided  approach  to  the  less  divided 

forms  of  C.  alpina,  var.  a,  and  the  general  outline  of  the  frond  is  more 

like  that  of  alpina  than  of  C.  eu-fragilis  var.  dentata,  which  resembles 

VOL.  XII.  P 


106  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

Dickieana  in  the  degree  of  division  of  the  pinnse  and  the  rounded 
pinnules  or  segments.  Besides  the  similarity  of  the  spores  Dickieana 
agrees  with  alpina  in  many  of  the  ultimate  veins  running  into  the 
notches  at  the  margin  of  the  frond,  and  not  into  the  teeth  which  border 
the  notches.  The  notches,  however,  are  much  deeper  in  C.  alpina, 
var.  a,  than  in  var.  Dickieana,  and  in  the  latter  the  veins  frequently 
run  to  the  margin  of  the  segment,  where  there  is  neither  tooth  nor 
notch.  In  C.  eu-fragilis  the  veins,  with  scarcely  any  exception,  run 
into  projecting  teeth.  When  first  I  read  that  Milde  put  Dickieana 
under  alpina,  I  doubted,  now  I  am  quite  convinced  he  was  right. 

Under  C.  alpina  Milde  includes  Cystopteris  Canariensis  of  Presl, 
which  has  the  indusium  studded  with  cylindrical  hair-like  glands ; 
to  this  Midle  refers  the  C.  sempervirens  of  Moore,  '  Nat.  Print.  Brit. 
Ferns,'  8vo  ed.  p.  268,  which  has  been  reported  from  Tunbridge  Wells, 
Kent  and  Devon  ;  but  it  seems  probable  it  has  either  been  planted  or 
has  escaped  from  cultivation  in  both  places ;  it  may  be  a  distinct 
subspecies,  as  it  has  a  tough  (not  fragile)  stipes,  and  a  frond  which  is 
evergreen  if  protected  from  frost,  which  is  not  the  case  with  the  fronds 
of  either  eu-fragilis,  alpina,  or  Dickieana.  I  have  specimens  from  the 
Canaries,  from  the  late  Mr.  P.  B.  Webb,  name  Cyathea  gracilis,  Sm. 
These  have  the  spores  quite  similar  to  those  of  0.  alpina  ;  but  Moore 
says  the  spores  of  his  C.  sempervirens  are  muricate,  so  probably 
Canariensis  and  sempervirens  are  not  identical.

On  wet  mossy  shady  rocks.  Rare  and  very  local.  It  was  first 
found  in  Britain  by  the  late  Mr.  W.  Wilton,  on  Ben  Lawers,  Perth- 
shire, in  1836  ;  Messrs.  W.  Gourlay  and  W.  Adamson  found  it  in 
1841  on  the  Glenlochy  Mountains,  at  a  place  called  Corrach  Uachdar, 
on  Maol  Oufillach,  opposite  Maol  Ghaordie,  where  several  other 
botanists  have  gathered  it;  Mr.  Westcomb  found  it  in  the  same 
district  6  or  8  miles  from  this  last  station  ;  I  have  specimens  from 
the  late  Rev.  W.  Little  and  Mr.  G.  Maw  from  Glenlochy ;  from 
Maol  Ghaordie,  Glenlyon,  collected  by  Dr.  Buchanan  White,  and 
Mr.  J.  Sadler,  and  from  Ben  Laoich,  gathered  by  Dr.  Buchanan 
White  and  Dr.  H.  H.  Johnson.  All  these  stations  are  in  Perthshire. 
Mr.  J.  Backhouse  has  found  it  at  the  head  of  Canlochan  Glen, 
Forfarshire ;  and  it  was  found  by  Mr.  A.  Croall  on  the  north  side  of 
shady  rocks  on  the  south  side  of  Glen  Callater,  near  its  head,  Aber- 
deenshire. I  believe  all  the  Scotch  stations  for  this  plant  are  on  rocks 
of  mica-slate  facing  the  north,  but  the  Aberdeenshire  station  may  be 
an  exception. 

Scotland,  Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Caudex  resembling  that  of  Phegopteris  Dryopteris,  about  the 
thickness  of  a  stocking-wire,  nearly  black,  the  younger  portion 
green  clothed  with  large  ovate  hyaline  scales.  Fronds  generally 
about  |  inch  apart,  but  often  more.  Stipes  from  1  j  inch  to  1  foot 
long,  with  a  shallow  furrow  on  the  anterior  side,  nearly  as  thick 
as  the  rootstock  at  the  base  where  it  is  dark-coloured,  tapering 
upwards,  where  it  becomes  green  ;  the  upper  part  is  remarkable  for 
the  gland-fringed  and  gland-tipped  scattered  deciduous  scales.  Lamina 
li  to  5  inches  long,  and  nearly  the  same  in  width,  resembling  that  of 
Phegopteris  Dryopteris,  but  much  more  finely  cut,  and  less  evidently 

ternate.

Caudex  not  growing  in  advance  of  the  fronds.  Stipes  not  arti- 
culated to  the  caudex,  and  not  separating  from  it.  Sori  oblong  or 
linear,  straight  or  curved,  attached  to  the  side  of  the  veins,  which  are 
oblique  to  the  midrib  and  margin  of  the  frond  or  segment,  generally 
furnished  with  an  indusium  attached  longitudinally  to  the  veins: 
rarely  the  indusium  is  absent. 

GENUS  XIL—A THYRIUM.    Both. 

Fronds  produced  from  the  apex  of  the  caudex,  usually  approxi- 
mated or  tufted,  rarely  solitary,  membranous,  decompound.  Stipes 
not  articulated  to  the  caudex,  containing  2  vascular  bundles  which 
unite  upwards,  giving  a  horseshoe-shaped  section  towards  the  back 
of  the  stipes.  Veins  simple  or  forked,  free.  Scales  composed  of 
elongate  cells,  with  their  boundaries  not  thickened  and  uniform  in 
colour  with  the  rest  of  the  cell.  Sori  oblong,  rarely  round,  often 
curved  or  even  horseshoe-shaped,  attached  along  the  side  of  the 
veins.  Indusium  attached  to  the  vein  of  and  the  same  shape  as  the 
sorus,  sometimes  crossing  the  vein  and  part  of  it  attached  to  each  side, 
sometimes  rudimentary  and  fugacious  or  even  absent. 

Name  from  a  without,  and  dvpeos  (thureos),  a  shield,  from  not 
having  a  shield-shaped  indusium. 

In  a  natural  arrangement  of  Ferns,  Athyrium  would  occupy  a  place 
between  Phegopteris  and  Lastrea ;  it  has  no  affinity  with  Asplenium 
or  any  of  the  allied  genera.

crown,  arranged  shuttlecock -fashion,  dying  in  autumn.  Stipes 
stout  or  rather  stout,  thickened  immediately  above  the  base,  chan- 
nelled on  the  anterior  face,  variable  in  length,  thickly  clothed  at  the 
base  with  lanceolate  or  ovate-lanceolate  persistent  brown  scales,  and 
rather  sparingly  above  with  lanceolate  or  strapshaped  mostly  deciduous 
brown  scales.  Lamina  erect  or  spreading,  elliptical-oblanceolate  or 
narrowly  elliptical-oblong  or  lanceolate-oblong,  more  or  less  attenuated 
towards  or  abrupt  at  the  base,  subbipinnate  or  subtripinnate  or  tri- 
pinnate  ;  ultimate  segments  crenate  or  serrate  or  inciso-serrate  ;  ultimate 
veins  running  into  the  teeth.  Sori  distributed  over  the  whole  of  the 
frond,  placed  mostly  on  the  anterior  side  of  the  first  anterior  branch  of 
the  veins  running  into  the  ultimate  segments,  oblong  and  more  or  less 
crescent-shaped  or  recurved  at  the  apex,  so  as  to  be  hooked  or  even 
horseshoe-shaped,  rarely  round.  Indusium  subpersistent,  strongly 
fimbriate  on  the  free  margin,  of  the  same  form  as  the  sori,  the  shape 
of  which  indeed  is  determined  by  that  of  the  indusium ;  rarely  it  is 
fugacious  or  apparently  wanting,  in  which  case  the  sori  are  round 
and  naked.  Spores  yellowish  or  yellowish-brown,  nearly  smooth, 
with  a  few  small  remote  bluntish  tubercles,  rarely  with  numerous 
tubercles.

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Caudex  dividing  soon  into  a  number  of  crowns,  so  that  a  patch 
of  the  plant  increases  rapidly,  and  assumes  a  tufted  appearance  from 
the  numerous  small  crowns  remaining  together.  Stipes  commonly 
rather  stout,  containing  two  vascular  bundles,  which  are  very  con- 
spicuous in  section,  looking  like  two  letters  c  turned  back  to  back. 
Scales  more  or  less  numerous,  brown,  sometimes  with  a  dark  central 
stripe,  the  upper  ones  narrower  than  the  lower,  which  are  always 
most  abundant  on  the  thickened  portion  at  the  base  of  the  stipes. 
Fronds  very  variable  in  the  degree  of  approximation  of  pinnas  and 
pinnules,  in  the  degree  to  which  the  latter  are  divided,  and  in  the  size 
to  which  they  attain ;  fronds  sufficiently  developed  to  bear  fructifica- 
tion, being  found  as  small  as  9  inches  long,  while  in  rich  woods  they 
attain  3  or  4  feet  in  height. 

The  different  forms,  however,  vary  so  much  when  cultivated,  not 
merely  in  size  but  in  the  approximation  of  the  pinnas  and  pin- 
nules, as  well  as  in  the  general  shape  and  division  of  the  latter,  that 
it  seems  best  to  distribute  the  ordinary  forms  under  two  varieties  only, 
and  very  often  even  these  are  distinguished  with  difficulty. 

Yar.  a  has  the  fronds  ascending,  and,  when  large,  recurved  at  the 
apex,  so  as  to  be  drooping.  The  stipes  and  rachis  seem  to  be  always 
green,  the  frond  thin  in  texture,  and  the  ultimate  pinnae  flat.     Athy-

rium  molle,  Roth,  Newman,  appears  to  me  merely  a  young  or  weak 
form  of  var.  a:  it  has  the  pinnules  approximate,  only  serrate  or 
crenate,  and  often  connected  by  a  wing  on  each  side  of  the  partial 
rachis,  so  that  the  frond  is  scarcely  so  much  as  bipinnate ;  but 
wild  specimens  having  these  characters,  although  large  enough  to 
bear  sori,  on  being  transplanted  into  rich  soil  and  cultivated,  have 
developed  into  the  larger  and  more  compound  forms  of  var.  a,  which 
we  find  growing  naturally  in  woods.  If  these  small  forms  be  culti- 
vated in  pots  or  on  dry  rock-work,  the  dwarf  and  little-divided  state 
of  the  fronds  remains  constant,  and  it  is  perhaps  from  treating  them 
in  this  manner  that  the  idea  has  originated  that  molle  is  a  permanent 
variety.  Var.  marinum,  Moore,  var.  confluens,  Moore,  var.  allatum, 
Moore,  and  var.  latifolium,  Bab.,  seem  to  me  all  small  forms  of  var.  a, 
while  the  beautiful  form  "plumosum"  (Phegopteris  plumosa,  J.  Smith, 
'Ferns  British  and  Foreign,'  p.  28),  which  has  tripinnate  fronds  and 
strapshaped  serrate  or  inciso-serrate,  longly-acuminate  ultimate  pin- 
nules, can  only  be  considered  as  a  monstrosity,  as  it  either  does  not 
fruit  at  all,  or  produces  round  sori  without  an  indusium  or  with  a 
very  rudimentary  one.  The  original  plant  of  plumosum  was  found 
near  Skipworth  in  Yorkshire,  by  Mr.  J.  Horsefall,  and  from  the 
spores  of  these,  plants  similar  to  the  parents  have  been  raised.  This 
propagation  of  abnormal  forms  by  spores  may  perhaps,  as  previously 
stated,  be  owing  to  asexual  production  of  plants  from  the  prothallia 
similar  to  that  observed  in  Pteris  serrulata  ;  these  plants  would  then 
be  merely  produced  by  budding,  and  therefore  retain  all  the  pecu- 
liarities of  the  individual  from  which  they  were  derived.  Forms 
more  or  less  approximating  to  plumosum  have  been  found  in  various 
localities.  I  am  favoured  with  a  specimen  cultivated  from  Mr.  G.  B. 
Wollaston,  labelled  from  Dorsetshire,  J.  S.  Wells.  This,  however,  is 
not  so  completely  tripinnate  as  the  Yorkshire  plant,  though  very 
nearly  so,  and  the  ultimate  segments  are  shorter  and  broader.  I 
possess  one  received  from  Messrs.  Sang  of  Kirkcaldy,  in  which  some 
of  the  fronds  are  like  the  ordinary  fronds  of  the  less  divided  forms 
of  var.  a ;  while  in  others  the  pinnae  are  deeply  pinnatifid,  and  again 
cut  into  oblong  lobes.  This  is  named  " plumosum  Axminster  fertile ;" 
but  it  is  much  less  finely  divided  than  the  Todmorton  form,  and  that 
called  var.  dissectum  Wollaston. 

In  Orkney  I  found  a  small  form,  which  I  suppose  would  be  called 
molle  by  those  who  retain  this  as  a  variety,  in  which  a  large  portion 
of  the  sori  were  round  and  without  indusium ;  but  as  these  fronds 
were  gathered  in  the  end  of  July,  the  sori  may  have  had  an 
indusium  when  younger.  A  plant  of  this  form  which  I  brought  home 
died,  so  I  was  unable  to  make  further  observations. 

Yar.  /3,  when  growing  in  exposed  situations,  is  remarkable  for  its 
pinnaa  being  convex,  the  margins  being  reflexed,  so  that  the  pinnae 
appear  very  narrow  and  disconnected ;  but  a  plant  of  this  form  under 
a  foot  high  has  developed  in  cultivation  into  a  plant  3  feet  high,  with 


112  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

flat  or  nearly  flat  pinnules,  and  from  having  a  pale  green  colour 
tinged  with  reddish-brown,  it  has  become  deep  green.  It  has,  how- 
ever, retained  the  erect  habit  and  narrower  parallel-sided  form  of 
frond  much  more  abrupt  at  the  base  than  in  var.  a.  Specimens  similar 
to  this  garden  form  abound  in  woods.  They  have  usually  a  long 
stout  stipes,  which  is  sometimes  green,  but  perhaps  more  often  dull 
vinous-red,  which  colour  is  continued  through  the  rachis. 

Var.  y  should  perhaps  be  regarded  as  a  subspecies.  I  know  it  only 
from  specimens  and  a  living  root  sent  me  by  Mr.  H.  C.  Watson.  It 
has  more  the  aspect  of  var.  (3  than  of  var.  a,  but  has  a  still  stouter 
and  longer  green  stipes,  with  the  scales  more  numerous,  more  per- 
sistent, and  of  a  darker  maroon  colour  than  is  usual  in  vars.  a  and  /3, 
and  has  a  more  rigid  lamina,  broader  in  proportion  to  its  length,  and 
tripinnate,  with  the  ultimate  segments  linear-oblong,  with  two  or  three 
narrowly  triangular  teeth  towards  the  apex.  The  dimensions  of  a 
well-developed  specimen  are  stipes  2  feet,  lamina  2  feet  6  inches  by 
1  foot ;  lowest  pinnee  5  to  5  J  inches  in  length  ;  the  lamina  broadest, 
about  ^  of  its  length  above  the  base,  not  beyond  the  middle,  as  in 
var.  a.  The  spores  have  the  yellow  colour  more  tinged  with 
brown,  and  a  surface  with  more  conspicuous  and  more  numerous 
blunt  tubercles  than  in  vars.  a  and  /3.  Mr.  Watson  considers  this 
the  Athyrium  incisum  of  Newman,  and  it  is  very  probable  that 
Mr.  Newman's  description  was  taken  from  var.  Watsoni ;  but  he  says 
the  "  geographical  range  "  of  his  incisum  is  "  general,  it  requires  only 
damp  vegetable  soil,  shade,  and  absence  from  molestation."  I  have 
therefore  little  doubt  that  under  his  incisum  he  included  the  large 
and  more  divided  forms  of  vars.  a  and  ft.  Mr.  T.  Moore's  var.  incisum, 
which  he  describes  with  "  fronds  drooping,"  must  be  a  divided  form 
of  our  var.  a.  Aspidium  irriguum,  Sm.  Engl.  Bot.  No.  2199,  and 
Engl.  Fl.  vol.  iv.  p.  296,  found  at  Tunbridge  Wells,  is  a  young  state

Amongst  stones  and  on.rocks  in*nlpine  districts,  frequent  on  high-

It  is  recorded  also  from  the  counties  of  Banff,  Argyle,  and  Sutherland. 

Yar.  a,  judging  from  the  specimens  I  have,  appears  much  more 
frequent  than  var.  |3,  which  grows  side  by  side  with  var.  a.  I  have 
it  from  Lochnagar,  Canlochan,  Ben  Hope,  Ben  Lawers,  and  the 
Clova  Mountains.

Fronds  1  to  3  feet  high,  extremely  similar  to  those  of  A.  Filix- 
fcemina,  var.  a  simulating  A.  Filix-foemina  var.  erectum,  and  var.  /3 
A.  Filix-foemina  genuinum,  though  the  two  forms  of  eu-alpestre  are 
less  distinct  than  the  above-named  vars.  of  Filix-foemina :  A.  alpestre, 
var.  a  having  the  frond  attenuated  towards  the  base,  and  var.  (3 
having  the  frond  narrower  than  in  Filix-fcemina  genuinum;  but  even 
in  the  barren  state  eu-alpestre  may  be  distinguished  by  its  stipes 
being  scarcely  channelled  above  (there  the  rachis  is),  and  with  much 
broader  and  paler  scales,  which  are  almost  white  and  hyaline  when 
the  frond  first  begins  to  expand.  The  most  striking  difference,  how- 
ever, lies  in  the  round  son',  which  arises  from  their  shape  not  being

modified  by  a  firm  and  persistent  iDdusium  ;  the  spores  also  are 
darker  coloured  and  conspicuously  tuberculate,  in  this  respect  very 
different  from  the  yellow,  nearly  smooth,  spores  of  A.  Filix-foemina 
vars.  a  and  ft;  but  in  A.  Filix-foemina  var.  Watsoni  the  spores  show 
some  approximation  towards  those  of  A.  eu-alpestre. 

The  great  majority  of  botanists  place  the  present  plant  in  the  genus 
Polypodium  or  in  the  genus  Phegopteris  when  they  separate  the  latter 
from  the  former.  The  late  Mr.  E.  Newman  founded  the  genus 
Pseudathyrium  upon  it,  but  I  think  there  is  no  doubt  that  Milde  is 
right  in  placing  it  in  the  genus  Athyrium,  with  which  it  agrees  in 
every  character  except  in  the  round  naked  sori ;  but  then  in  several 
abnormal  forms  of  A.  Filix-fcemina  the  sori  are  round  and  naked,  or 
with  an  imperfectly  developed  indusium,  and  in  some  otherwise 
ordinary  forms  of  the  same  Fern  the  indusium  falls  away  early,  and 
the  sori  become  round.  On  the  other  hand,  in  the  very  early  stages 
of  A.  alpestre  a  rudimentary  indusium  may  be  found  at  least  occa- 
sionally. The  disposition  of  the  curved  vascular  bundles  of  the  petiole 
is  precisely  similar  in  the  two  plants,  as  well  as  their  mode  of  growth, 
vernation,  and  venation.  I  myself  have  doubts  whether  A.  alpestre 
should  not  be  considered  as  merely  a  subspecies  of  A.  Filix-fceniina.

Scotland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Fronds  3  to  12  inches  long,  with  an  extremely  short  stipes;  in 
cultivation  the  stipes  is  often  confined  to  the  enlarged  basal  portion 
which  remains  attached  to  the  caudex.  Scales  more  numerous  and 
more  of  them  ovate-triangular  than  in  A.  eu-alpestre.  Lamina  nar- 
rower— in  wild  specimens  from  Ben  Alder  collected  by  Dr.  Buchanan 
White,  with  lamina  between  3  and  4  inches  long,  the  breadth  is  from 
1  to  1£  inch  at  the  broadest  part,  which  is  about  one-third  above  the 
base.  Pinnules  narrowed  towards  the  base,  while  in  P.  eu-alpestre 
they  are  broadest  towards  the  base.  The  most  remarkable  feature  in 
this  Fern  is  that  the  sori  appear  not  to  be  produced  on  the  apical 
portion  of  the  frond,  they  are  most  numerous  in  the  basal  third,  and 
it  is  but  rarely  that  any  can  be  found  in  the  apical  third. 

I  have  great  hesitation  in  separating  this  as  a  subspecies  from 
A.  eu-alpestre,  because  the  character  of  the  basal  part  of  the  frond 
being  soriferous  and  not  the  apex,  is  so  unusual  among  Ferns,  that 
it  may  be  suspected  to  be  an  abnormal  form  or  monstrosity,  and  as 
this  I  should  have  regarded  it  had  Mr.  Backhouse's  original  station 
in  Glen  Prosen  been  the  only  one  in  which  it  occurred.  But  the  Ben 
Alder  specimens  are  similar,  and  in  cultivation  the  plant  becomes 
even  more  dissimilar  from  A.  eu-alpestre  than  the  wild  specimens. 
I  have  had  cultivated  plants  from  Glen  Prosen,  where  I  believe  it 
is  now  almost  extinct,  from  Mr.  Backhouse,  and  from  Ben  Alder  from 
Mr.  A.  Craig  Christie  and  Dr.  F.  Buchanan  White.  Mr.  A.  C.  Christie 
tells  me  that  A.  flexile  fruits  when  only  3  inches  long,  and  A.  alpestre 
growing  with  it  not  under  9  or  10  inches. 

Dr.  P.  Buchanan  White,  who  is  one  of  the  few  botanists  who  have 
published  detailed  descriptions  of  A.  eu-alpestre  and  A.  flexile,  after 
having  observed  both  forms  in  their  native  localities,  says,  in  the 
'Scottish  Naturalist,'  1881,  p.  45:  "The  general  appearance  and 
habit  of  flexile  afford  one  of  the  best  points  of  distinction.     Aljje^frc

lias  erect  fronds  with  a  general  appearance,  as  is  well  known,  very 
similar  to  that  of  Athyrium  Filix-fccmina,  for  which  indeed  it  was 
long  mistaken.  Flexile  on  the  other  hand,  has  somewhat  narrower 
and  more  tapering  fronds,  with  the  stipes  bent  or  elbowed  a  little 
above  its  attachment  to  the  rachis  (caudex  ?  Ed.),  and  in  consequence 
the  frond  is  far  from  erect,  and,  in  fact  in  many  cases  is  nearly  parallel 
to  the  surface  of  the  earth,  which,  with  the  deflexed  pinnae  and  the 
pinnules  narrowed  at  the  base,  give  a  very  distinct  appearance.  In 
addition,  it  is  almost  invariably  smaller  than  alpestre — generally  very 
much  smaller — and,  though  the  name  implies  a  more  pliant  structure 
than  alpestre,  I  think  in  reality  it  is  more  rigid."

GENUS  XIII.-A SPLENIUM.    Linn. 

Fronds  produced  from  the  apex  of  the  caudex,  usually  approximated, 
rarely  solitary,  often  coriaceous  or  subcoriaceous,  varying  from  simple 
to  decompound,  not  densely  scaly  beneath.  Stipes  not  articulated  to 
the  caudex,  containing  1  or  2  vascular  bundles  which  unite  upwards, 
and  give  a  3-  or  4-lobed  section  in  the  centre  of  the  stipes.  Veins 
simple  or  forked,  free.  Scales  composed  of  short  cells,  with  their 
boundaries  greatly  thickened,  and  of  a  much  deeper  brownish-red 
colour  than  the  rest  of  the  cell.  Sori  oblong  or  linear,  straight  or

for  disorders  of  the  spleen.

Stipes  i  to  \  the  length  of  the  lamina,  Lamina  2 \  inches  long  by 
-|  inch  wide,  to  9  inches  long  by  \\  inch  wide,  decreasing  gradually 
towards  the  base  as  in  Athyrium  Filix-fcemina,  var.  genuinum  and 
Lastrea  Oreopteris,  a  character  which  distinguishes  it  from  all  the 
other  British  species  of  Asplenium.  The  texture  of  the  fronds  though 
firm,  is  not  coriaceous,  they  are  of  a  bright  deep-green  colour,  and  not 
shining. 

Koch  makes  two  varieties  of  this  plant,  viz.  a.  pedicularifolium,  and 
/3.  angustatum.  The  latter  differs  merely  in  its  smaller  size  and  less 
divided  pinnae,  which  are  scarcely  again  pinnate.  These  varieties 
seem  mainly  to  be  dependent  on  situation,  which  causes  one  form  to 
be  more  luxuriant  than  the  other.

On  ledges  of  rock,  and  walls  and  banks.  Local.  Frequent  in  Devon, 
Cornwall,  and  Somerset ;  it  also  occurs  at  Tunbridge  Wells,  on  both  the 
Sussex  and  Kent  side  of  the  stream  which  divides  these  counties,  near 
the  high  rocks,  and  also  on  rocks  in  Eridge  Park,  Sussex;  at  Frenchey, 
Beechly,  and  near  Stapleton,  Gloucestershire ;  and  in  the  counties 
of  Pembroke,  Glamorgan,  Merioneth,  Denbigh,  Carnarvon.  Aery 
rare  in  Ireland ;  on  both  sides  of  the  town  of  Kinsale,  Cork,  Mr.  I. 
Carroll,  from  whom  I  have  specimens,  and  on  an  old  tower  at  Reen-

"  Yar.  microdon  is  a  native  of  Guernsey,  and  was  found  in  1855

Penzance  by  Mr.  J.  Mager,  and  this  plant,  which  is  somewhat  more 
divided  than  the  Guernsey  form,  proves  incontestably  its  relationship 
to  the  species  to  which  we  refer  it."     (Moore,  1.  c.  p.  73.) 

England,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Caudex  with  the  crowns  closely  packed  together,  clothed  with  long 
linear-subulate  and  filiform  dentate  scales,  which  appear  to  be  dark 
brown,  but,  when  examined  under  a  lens,  are  seen  to  be  white 
and  hyaline,  with  a  network  formed  by  thick  reddish-brown  longi- 
tudinal and  transverse  bars,  which  are  the  boundaries  between  the 
cells ;  the  partitions  project  at  the  margins  of  the  scales  in  the  form 
of  very  minute  teeth :  these  scales  are  good  examples  of  the  clathrate 
scales  which  distinguish  the  genus  Asplenium  from  Athyrium.  The 
stipes  is  shining,  purplish-brown,  thickly  clothed  with  articulated 
hair-like  scales  when  unfolding,  but  ultimately  nearly  glabrous, 
variable  in  length  even  in  the  same  tuft,  very  rarely  as  long  as  the 
lamina,  and  usually  only  one-third  or  one-fourth  'as  long,  containing 
two  oval  vascular  bundles.  Lamina  variable  in  size,  but  generally 
under  6  inches  long  by  1^  inch  broad.  The  largest  I  have  is  9  inches 
long  by  3^  broad,  with  a  stipes  of  9  inches  long ;  it  was  collected  in  a 
well  in  Jersey  by  Dr.  J.  A.  Power.  The  fronds  are  of  a  deep  bright 
green,  without  any  lustre,  and  are  evergreen  if  protected  from  frost, 
to  which  they  are,  however,  very  susceptible ;  so  that  the  plant  can- 
not be  cultivated  out  of  doors,  at  least  in  the  greater  part  of  Britain. 
The  fronds  vary  in  thickness,  and  are  sometimes  translucent,  but 
more  generally  they  are  opaque,  and,  when  growing  in  exposed 
situations,  frequently  have  the  pinnules  recurved. 

Var.  /3  seems  to  pass  insensibly  into  the  typical  form. 

Var.  y  I  have  never  seen,  but,  judging  from  the  impression  in 
Moore's  '  Nature-printed  Ferns,'  it  is  a  most  extraordinary  variety, 
simulating  Asplenium  marinum.

plant  sent  me  by  Mr.  G.  H.  Kinahan,  labelled  "  On  serpentine 
a  little  south-west  of  Glendalough  Hotel,  Connemara." 

Var.  y.  acutum  appears  to  be  confined  to  the  south-west  of  Ireland. 
I  have  specimens  from  Glen  Carragh,  Mr.  G.  Maw ;  Killarney,  Mr. 
E.  T.  Bennett;  and  Bandon  Hill,  near  Peafield,  Rev.  J.  Allen.  Mr. 
G.  H.  Kinahan  writes  to  me  that  it  is  frequent  in  Connemara,  Galway, 
and  S.W.  Mayo,  but  I  have  not  seen  specimens.  Mr.  H.  C. 
Watson  reports  it  from  Surrey,  and  Dr.  Lowe  from  Norfolk.  Besides 
these  localities  it  is  reported  from  Jersey ;  from  Combe  Royal,  south 
Devon  ;  and  the  walls  of  the  cathedral  of  St.  Asaph,  Wales  ;  but  as  I 
have  not  seen  specimens  from  these  places,  I  do  not  know  if  they 
belong  to  acutum,  as  I  understand  it,  or  are  merely  finely  divided

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

A  very  variable  plant,  which  Milde  and  others  divide  into  3  sub- 
species, and  certainly  taking  the  typical  forms  of  each  of  these  one 
is  much  inclined  to  endorse  their  opinion  ;  but  these  principal  forms 
are  so  intimately  connected  by  intermediates,  and  the  characters 
become  so  crossed,  that  I  have  found  myself  compelled  to  agree  with 
those  writers  who  regard  them  all  as  forms  of  one  species.  It  is  not, 
as  in  the  case  of  the  Lastreas,  that  we  have  distinct  forms  of  which 
there  arc  abundant  individuals  connected  by  intermediate  forms  of 
which  there  are  few  individuals  :  the  types  of  the  distinct  forms  of 
Lastrea  are  abundant,  the  intermediates  scarce,  and  each  inter- 
mediate form  occurs  only  where  the  two  typical  forms  which  it  connects 
grow  together. 

Very  different  from  this  is  the  case  of  Asplenium  Adiantum-nigrum, 
in  which  there  are  far  more  individuals  of  the  connecting  forms  than 
of  the  type-forms  of  two  out  of  the  three  possible  subspecies,  at  least 
in  Britain  and  central  Europe  ;  while  in  the  south  of  Europe  and  the

The  first  of  Milde's  subspecies  "nigrum,"  Heufler,  contains  _ the 
forms  here  called  genuinum  and  obiusatum.  It  is  the  least  divided 
of  the  three,  and  has  usually  the  stipes  not  exceeding  the  lamina, 
which  is  usually  about  6  or  8*  inches  long,  by  2  to  3  inches  across  the 
broadest  part  at  the  base ;  the  frond  is  coriaceous  and  opaque  with 
a  greasy  lustre,  the  ultimate  segments  are  convex  on  the  outer  side. 
Milde's  var.  obtusatum  is  a  less  developed  form,  with  the  stipes  usually 
shorter  in  proportion  to  the  frond,  which  is  rarely  above  4  inches  in 
length,  and  sometimes  as  little  as  2  inches ;  it  is  less  divided,  and 
sometimes  scarcely  bipinnate ;  the  ultimate  segments  are  rounder  and 
more  obtuse  than  in  var.  genuinum,  into  which  it  passes  insensibly,  and 
is  scarcely  worthy  of  the  name  of  a  variety.  Milde  gives  as  one  of 
the  characters  of  his  first  form  that  there  is  only  a  solitary  vascular 
bundle  in  the  stipes,  while  in  the  second  subspecies  there  are  1  or  2 
bundles,  and  in  the  third  two.  I  fear  little  reliance  can  be  placed 
upon  this  character  ;  in  all  the  specimens  I  have  examined  there  are 
two  vascular  bundles  in  the  stipes  where  it  starts  from  the  caudex. 
These  two  bundles  approach  each  other  and  coalesce  before  reaching 
the  lamina.  In  small  specimens  the  coalescence  occurs  much  nearer 
the  base  than  in  large  ones,  but  the  point  at  which  it  does  occur 
appears  to  depend  on  the  degree  to  which  the  stipes  is  developed. 
Speaking  of  the  petiole  of  Asplenium  Adiantum-nigrum,  Mons.  Duval 
Jouve  says :  "  A  leur  base  dilate'e  ils  pre'sentent  de_  chaque  cote  et 
presque  contre  la  peripheric  un  faisceau  fibro-vasculaire  simple,  dont 
la  coupe  est  re'niforme  oblique;  plus  haut,  ces  deux  faisceaux  se 
rapprochent  vers  le  centre  sans  jamais  se  fondre  en  un  seul "  (Billot, 
Annot.  Fl.  de  Fr.  et  d'All.'  p.  247).  My  experience  is  contrary  to 
this,  as  I  find  the  two  bundles  always  ultimately  coalesce,  and  some- 
times indeed  very  near  the  base ;  so  I  suspect  the  unity  or  duality 
of  the  vascular  bundles  varies  in  different  specimens. 

The  second  subspecies,  "  Serpentini,"  Tausch.,  appears  to  be  confined 
to  serpentine  rocks  in  Saxony  and  Silesia,  south  to  Italy,  Dalmatia,  and 
Hungary.  It  was  first  recorded  as  a  British  plant  by  Mr.  T.  Moore, 
from  specimens  collected  by  the  Rev.  A.  Christie,  on  serpentine  rocks 
at  Cabrach,  Aberdeenshire.  It  differs  from  the  commoner  form  of 
Adiantum-nigrum  by  its  lamina  being  more  divided,  and  the  ultimate 
segments  less  approximate,  and  more  or  less  bent  away  from  the 
partial  rachis.  The  frond  also  is  dim,  without  the  greasy  lustre  of 
the  common  form,  or  the  satiny  lustre  of  the  form  acutum.  _  Milde 
says  concerning  it,  that  he  has  often  found  fronds  passing  into  A. 
Adiantum-nigrum  on  the  same  rhizome  with  A.  Serpentini.  The 
stipes  is  usually  longer  than  the  frond,  often  conspicuously  so. 
The  lamina  is  from  4  to  6  inches  long  in  the  specimens  I  have  seen. 
Milde  says  the  fronds  do  not  last  through  the  winter,  but  in  answer 
to  a  query  of  mine  on  this  point,  Mr.  Christie  writes  that  the 
fronds  are  evergreen  at  Cabrach.  Along  with  the  true  Serpentini 
there  grows  a  form  connecting  it  with  ordinary  Adiantum-nigrum. 


126  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

Mr.  Christie  says  that  the  stipes  varies  considerably  in  length.  "  In 
the  specimens  sent,  those  in  which  it  is  long  were  taken  out  of  chinks 
in  the  rock,  and  therefore  lengthened  to  bring  the  fronds  towards  the 
light ;  those  in  which  the  stipes  is  short  were  growing  in  an  open 
situation." 

The  third  subspecies  admitted  by  Milde,  "  Onopteris,"  which 
contains  the  var.  " acutum"  is  frequent  in  the  Mediterranean  region, 
Madeira,  and  the  Canary  Isles.  I  have  not  seen  it  in  this  country 
except  from  the  south  of  Ireland,  and  Mr.  T.  Moore  also  has  seen 
true  examples  of  this  variety  only  from  Ireland,  though  it  is  closely 
approached  by  English  forms,  and  also  by  one  which  Mr.  Moore 
calls  "  oxyphyllum"  gathered  near  Dunoon  and  near  Stirling,  but 
wThich  I  have  not  seen.  I  am  indebted  to  Mr.  J.  F.  Dirt  hie  for 
living  plants  of  genuine  acutum  from  the  neighbourhood  of  Florence. 
It  differs  conspicuously  from  the  ordinary  Adiantum-nigrum  in  the 
texture  of  its  fronds,  wThich  are  not  thick,  cartilaginous  and  opaque, 
as  in  the  common  form,  and  have  a  satiny,  not  a  greasy  lustre ;  this 
apparently  arises  from  the  epidermal  cells  being  narrower  in  acutum 
than  in  A.  Adiantum-nioTiun.at  least  this  is  the  case  with  Mr.  Duthie's 
plants,  but  unfortunately  this  character  is  in  a  great  measure  lost  in 
dried  specimens,  which  can  be  distinguished  only  by  the  longer  stipes, 
the  deltoid-ovate  outline  of  the  more  divided  frond  with  narrow  and 
elongated  ultimate  segments.  It  appears  to  attain  a  larger  size  than 
the  other  forms.  The  largest  Irish  specimen  I  possess  has  a  stipes 
8  inches  long,  and  a  lamina  of  5^  by  3  inches  at  the  broadest  part ; 
but  a  specimen  from  Naples  has  it  10^  inches  long  by  7  inches  broad, 
and  Teneriffe  specimens  are  quite  as  large.  Mr.  Moore  has  an  Irish 
specimen  with  the  lamina  of  the  frond  9  inches  long  and  7  inches 
broad. 

Mr.  Kinahan,  of  the  Geological  Survey  of  Ireland,  has  supplied 
me  with  some  notes  on  the  Irish  forms  of  Adiantum-nigrum.  "  In 
north-west  G-alway  and  south-west  Mayo  the  A.  Adiantum-nigrum 
seems  to  grow  as  follows.  It  is  always  associated  with  more  or 
less  calcareous  rocks,  which  may  be  shales,  limestones,  dolomites, 
serpentines,  and  the  other  associated  pseudomorphic  rocks.  in 
exposed  sunny  situations  it  is  always  diminutive  (the  obtusum  of  some 
authors).  This  variety  is  not,  however,  very  common.  The  most 
usual  form  is  like  No.  I,*  but  the  more  shady  the  nook,  and  the  more 
northern  the  aspect,  the  more  acute  the  form.  The  typical  form  of 
acutum  always  grows  in  cliffs  and  caves  facing  the  north  and 
north-east.  The  general  character  of  its  stipes  is  long,  as  when  the 
plant  grows  in  a  crevice  the  plant  wants  to  get  above  the  fissure,  but 
it  depends  altogether  upon  the  situation.  The  best  fronds  usually 
have  a  long  stipes.  I  believe  there  is  only  one  species  that  will 
change   according   to    the    place    it   grows    in.       Acutum    does    not

FILICES.  127 

necessarily  grow  in  woods,  but  the  most  typical  plants  that  I  ever 
saw  were  in  a  cliff  with  a  northern  aspect,  in  the  wood  north  of  Lady 
Kinnear's  cottage  on  the  Lakes  of  Killarney.  When  I  first  saw  it  the 
trees  had  been  cut  away  from  it,  having  the  cliff  quite  covered  with 
such  a  marked  variety  of  the  fern  that  I  firmly  believed  it  must  be  a 
distinct  species.  Five  or  six  years  afterwards  I  visited  the  place,  and 
found  the  trees  amazingly  grown,  and  that  only  in  the  still  exposed 
places  grew  the  A.  acutum,  while  in  the  places  shaded  by  the  trees  it 
was  replaced  by  the  normal  form."  It  seems  curious  that  increased 
shade  should  cause  the  acutum  to  pass  into  the  normal  form ; 
I  should  have  expected  the  reverse  to  happen. 

A.  Adiantum-nigrum  can  scarcely  be  confounded  with  any  other 
British  fern,  except  perhaps  A.  lanceolatum,  from  which  it  differs  in 
its  fronds  being  much  thicker  and  firmer  in  texture,  and  with  the 
lower  pinna?  much  larger,  so  that  the  frond  is  triangular  or  even  sub- 
deltoid rather  than  lanceolate.  The  sori  are  much  longer  and  more 
remote  from  the  margin  of  the  pinnules  and  segments  than  in 
A.  lanceolatum,  and  the  scales  at  the  base  of  the  stipes  are  longer 
and  more  attenuated,  generally  with  only  a  single  longitudinal  rib 
of  thickened  tissue  towards  the  apex.

east  coast,  though  occurring  in  a  few  stations  from  York  northwards. 
Frequent  in  Ireland.  Rare  inland,  though  it  has  occurred  near 
Warrino-ton  and  Newton,  Lancashire,  and  at  the  Lakes  of  Killarney, 
co.  Kerry.  Var.  ft  occurs  in  Cornwall  and  Devonshire,  and  in  the 
Channel  Islands,  along  with  the  commoner  form. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Plant  growing  in  dense  tufts,  which  take  their  shape  from  the 
fissures  of  the  rock  on  which  it  grows.  Crowns  thickly  clothed  with 
purplish-brown  scales,  in  which  there  are  many  longitudinal  thick- 
ened bars.  Stipes  varying  much  in  length  even  in  the  fronds  from 
the  same  tuft,  thicker  and  more  brittle  than  in  the  preceding  species. 
Var.  a  has  the  stipes  2|  to  5  inches  long.  Lamina  1£  to  8  inches  long, 
and  f  to  2  inches  broad ;  pinnae  usually  close  together,  more  developed 
at  the  base  on  the  anterior  than  on  the  posterior  side,  and  with  the 
anterior  portion  of  the  base  usually  parallel  with  the  rachis,  thick 
and  fleshy  in  texture,  and  deep  glossy  green  in  colour.  Sori  when 
Ion"-,  generally  with  their  ends  equally  near  the  margin  and  midrib, 
but  when  they  are  abbreviated  they  are  sometimes  near  the  midrib 
and  sometimes  near  the  margin,  generally  speaking  they  remain  dis- 
tinct, but  occasionally,  or  in  small  specimens,  they  become  confluent. 

Var.  y8  is  a  larger  plant,  with  the  pinnae  rounder  and  more  pointed, 
the  venules  making  a  more  acute  angle  with  the  mid-vein  than  in  var.  a. 
I  have  specimens  from  Plymouth  Hoe  with  stipes  9  inches  long,  and 
the  lamina  about  a  foot  long  by  4  inches  broad,  and  Mr.  T.  Moore 


FILICES.  129 

records  specimens  of parallelum  (which  is  here  included  under  var.  ft) 
"  from  Guernsey,  gathered  by  Mons.  Boistel,  measuring  34  inches 
in  length,  of  which  24  inches  were  occupied  by  about  30  pairs  of 
pinna?,  the  largest  being  about  2J  inches  long  and  f  inch  wide  ; 
larger  specimens  were  produced  on  the  same  plant,  which  was 
growing  in  the  same  soil,  but  on  a  damp  rock."  Moore,  Nat.  Print. 
Brit,  Ferns,  8vo  ed.  vol.  ii.  p.  93. 

Although  the  extreme  forms  of  vars.  a  and  ft  are  much  unlike,  they 
are  so  connected  by  intermediate  forms,  that  they  scarcely  deserve  to 
be  separated  even  as  varieties ;  the  shape  of  the  base  of  the  pinnae,  or 
the  degree  to  which  their  margins  are  crenate,  serrate,  or  lobed,  are 
too  variable  to  be  sufficient  to  separate  the  various  forms,  as  even  in 
fronds  on  the  same  tuft  they  often  vary  to  a  considerable  extent. 

This  cannot  well  be  confounded  with  any  other  British  Fern.  The 
only  one  which  looks  at  all  like  it  is  Asplenium  lanceolatum,  var. 
microdon,  but  from  it  A.  marinum  differs  by  its  larger  scales,  thicker 
stipes,  much  more  coriaceous  or  cartilaginous  lamina,  glabrous  rachis, 
and  elongated  generally  median  sori.  The  fronds  present  sometimes 
a  slight  resemblance  to  those  of  Polypodiurn  vulgare,  but  in  that  the 
pinnae  are  adnate  to  the  rachis  by  their  whole  base,  while  in 
A.  marinum  not  even  the  lower  ones  are  connected  by  their  whole 
base,  and  it  is  almost  needless  to  remark  that  the  difference  in  their 
generic  characters  will  prevent  their  being  mistaken  the  one  for  the 
other.

fluent with  the  terminal  lobe  of  the  frond,  persistent  and  withering 
while  attached  to  the  rachis.  Rachis  green,  furrowed  above,  not 
winged,  with  a  few  scale-like  hairs,  ultimately  glabrous.  Pinnae  with 
an  indistinct  flexuous  mid-vein,  giving  off  simple  or  once-forked 
branches  running  to  the  crenatures  and  nearly  reaching  the  margin. 
Sori  oblong,  attached  to  the  lower  part  of  the  ultimate  veins,  and  ex- 
tending below  their  forks,  nearer  the  midrib  than  the  margin  of  the

rarely  entire.  Spores  tuberculated,  with  numerous  subacute  tubercles. 
On  rocks  in  mountainous  districts,  from  South  Wales  and  Derby- 
shire, north  to  Sutherland  and  Shetland,  but  apparently  wanting  in 
Orkney.  Common  in  the  hilly  parts  of  the  north  of  England  and  the 
Highlands  of  Scotland.  It  grows  also  on  walls,  at  low  elevations  at 
Danny  (Sussex),  Mickleham  (Surrey),  Hambridge  (Worcester),  and 
Linnmill  (Clackmannan),  but  there  is  always  a  possibility  that  it  may 
have  been  planted  in  such  localities.  In  Ireland  it  occurs  along  the 
west,  from  Kerry  to  Donegal. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Caudex  usually  more  elongated  and  creeping  than  in  the  other  British 
Asplenia.  Stipes  from  J  to  4  inches  long  or  even  more.  Lamina 
from  1  inch  long  by  £  inch  broad  to  5  inches  long  by  f  inch  broad,  of 
a  pale  delicate  green  colour  and  thin  texture,  resembling  that  of 
A.  lanceolatum.  Pinnse  generally  separated,  but  in  small  specimens 
they  are  often  contiguous,  variable  in  shape  ;  in  large  specimens 
they  are  usually  very  broad,  truncate  at  the  base,  and  more  or  less  ovate- 
rhombic,  while  in  small  specimens  they  are  more  often  wedgeshaped 
at  the  base,  and  longer  than  broad,  always  distinctly  crenate,  and 
sometimes  doubly  crenate  ;  occasionally  they  are  deeply  incised,  but 
these  appear  to  be  monstrous  forms ;  sometimes  the  base  is  most  deve- 
loped on  the  anterior  side  of  the  mid-vein  of  the  pinnae,  so  that  the 
form  is  more  or  less  trapezoidal.  The  sori  are  very  short  and  close 
to  the  midrib  of  the  pinnae. 

A.  viride  can  be  mistaken  for  no  other  British  fern,  except 
A.  Trichomanes ;  the  differences  between  these  two  are  pointed  out

stipes,  1|  to  1  foot  long,  by  \  to  f  inch  broad.  #  After  the  fall  of  the 
pinna?,  the  stipes  and  bare  rachis  remain  and  in  old  plants  each  of 
the  approximate  crowns  is  surrounded  by  a  guard  of  these  leafless 
purplish-brown  rachides. 

Yar.  /3.  seems  to  pass  insensibly  into  the  ordinary  form.  Mr.  T. 
Moore  says  of  A.  anceps  that  it  has  not,  he  believes,  been  found  in 
Britain,  but  specimens  from  Mr.  H.  C.  Watson,  collected  in  Surrey^ 
appear  inseparable  from  the  plant  of  the  Atlantic  islands ;  some  of 
these  specimens  have  fronds  10  inches  long  by  1 J  inch  broad. 

There  are  some  very  beautiful  monstrosities  of  A.  Adiantum-nigrum, 
of  which  the  form  called  inclsum  by  Moore  is  the  most  striking;  in 
this  the  leaves  are  irregularly  deeply  pinnatifid,  with  the  segments 
incised.  It  is,  as  Mr.  Moore  says,  exactly  analogous  to  the  form 
Cambricum  of  Polypodium  vulgare,  and  the  fronds  are  said  to  be 
uniformlv  barren. 

Crested  forms  in  which  the  apex  of  the  frond ^  is  spread  out  into  a 
tassel  are  more  common,  and  are  said  to  be  invariably  produced  from 
spores.  . 

Asplenimn  Trichomanes  is  liable  to  be  confounded  with  A.  viride ; 
but  in  that  species  the  stipes  is  green  at  the  apex,  and  the  rachis 
wholly  green  and  destitute  of  the  raised  brown  wing  down  each 
side,  the  pinna?  are  persistent  and  more  evidently  stalked,  much 
thinner  in  texture  and  more  translucent,  so  that  the  veins  are  readily 
seen  when  the  plant  is  held  up  to  the  light,  paler  green,  and  usually 
more  crenate,  with  the  sori  shorter  and  nearer  the  midrib. 
When  A.  Trichomanes  becomes  luxuriant  the  pinna?  are  longer  and 
narrower  in  proportion  than  in  the  smaller  forms;  while  in  A.  viride 
they  become  broader  and  more  rhombic  or  deltoid-rhombic.

scattered  hair-like  brown  scales.  Lamina  rather  thick,  snhcoriaceons, 
opaque,  glabrous,  dim,  evergreen,  linear,  abrupt  at  the  base,  tapering 
towards  the  apex,  pinnate ;  lowest  pair  of  pinnae  larger  than  the  suc- 
ceeding pair,  shortly  stalked,  spreading,  deltoid,  three-lobed,  lobes 
roundish-obovate,  deeply  crenate  ;  middle  pinnae  smaller  than  the 
basal  ones,  rhombic-ovate,  inversely  deltoid  at  the  base,  obtuse, 
crenate;  terminal  pinnae  smaller,  oval-obovate,  wedgeshaped  at  the 
base,  obtuse,  crenate  or  simply  repand,  several  of  them  confluent  with 
the  terminal  lobe  of  the  frond,  persistent.  Rachis  green,  not  winged, 
but  with  the  stalk  of  the  pinnae  very  shortly  decurrent,  with  a  few 
hair-like  gland-tipped  scales.  Lower  pinnae  flabellately  veined,  with 
the  veins  forked ;  middle  and  upper  pinnae  with  a  flexuous  mid-vein 
giving  off  once-forked  branches  running  to  the  crenatures,  and 
nearly  reaching  the  margin.  Sori  oblong-linear,  attached  to  the 
anterior  branch  of  the  ultimate  veins  beyond  their  forks  and  equi- 
distant from  their  base  and  the  margins  of  the  pinnae,  not  confluent. 
Indusium  denticulate. 

Found  by  Lady  Clermont,  in  1 863,  growing  on  the  back  of  a  garden 
wall  among  Asplenium  Trichomanes  and  Asplenium  Ruta-muraria,  at 
Ravensdale  Park,  Newry.  Mr.  Newman  gives  the  station  as  "  near 
Flurry  Bridge,"  but  I  suppose  the  same  place  is  intended. 

Ireland  (extinct).     Perennial.     Autumn. 

Stipes  about  1  inch  long.  Lamina  2  to  2J  inches  long  by  h  inch 
broad.  Stalk  of  the  pinnae  about  ^  inch  long.  Lowest  pinnae 
about  f  inch  long,  and  nearly  as  broad  at  the  base,  with  three  lobes, 
of  which  the  central  one  is  the  largest,  each  lobe  witli  a  nearly  equal 
vein,  which  gives  off  forking  branches,  but  these  do  not  form 
mid-veins  to  the  three  divisions  of  the  pinna  ;  in  the  undivided  pinnae, 
however,  there  is  a  flexuous  mid-vein  like  that  of  A.  Trichomanes. 
The  spores  are  immature  in  the  specimen  which  I  have  seen,  which 
1  received  through  the  kindness  of  Lord  Clermont ;  they  appear  to  be 
similar  to  those  of  A.  Ruta-muraria,  that  is  tuberculate  with  rather 
large  blunt  tubercles. 

Distinguished  from  A.  Trichomanes,  of  which  the  authors  of  the 
'  Cybele  Hibernica'  "  suspect  it  will  prove  to  be  a  form,"  by  its  stipes 
being  green  at  the  top  and  the  rachis  without  the  prominent  dark 
wing  which  runs  down  each  side  of  the  upper  face.  The  pinnae  also 
are  distinctly  though  shortly  stalked,  and  the  lower  ones  three-lobed. 
The  venation  has  also  more  tendency  to  be  flabellate,  and  the  indusium 
is  conspicuously  denticulate. 

From  the  continental  A.  Petrarchae,  to  which  Mr.  Newman  refers 
it,  it  differs  in  not  having  the  stipes  wiry,  and  purplish-black  through- 


134  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

out,  the  frond  more  tapering,  the  pinnae  persistent,  the  lower  ones 
with  longer  stalks,  more  evidently  three-lobed,  and  as  large  as  or 
larger  than  the  succeeding  pair,  the  middle  ones  smaller  and  not 
pinnately-lobed ;  it  also  is  not  densely  glandulose  on  the  rachis, 
lamina,  and  indusium,  and  the  latter  is  not  entire  but  jagged  at  the 
edges,  as  in  A.  Petrarchan,  and  the  sori  are  longer  and  narrower. 

From  A.  Ruta-muraria  it  differs  in  the  frond  being  linear,  only 
once  pinnate,  and  in  the  pinnse  having  much  shorter  stalks,  with  a 
more  decided  mid-vein,  and  the  sori  on  the  middle  pinnas  diverge  more 
from  the  median  line  of  the  pinnae.  The  stipes,  rachis,  venation,  sori, 
and  indusia  are,  however,  more  like  those  of  A .  Ruta-muraria  than  of 
any  other  British  Asplenium. 

A.  Clermontae  belongs  to  a  group  of  forms  intermediate  between  A. 
Trichomanes  and  other  species  of  this  genus,  and  which  are  generally 
believed  to  be  hybrids.  These  have  been  found  in  very  small  quantity, 
often  only  single  roots,  where  A.  Trichomanes  grows  in  company  with 
those  species  between  which  and  A.  Trichomanes  the  forms  to  which 
I  allude  are  intermediate.  These  are  in  the  first  place  A.  adulter- 
inuin,  Milde,  which  has  been  found  in  Northern  Bohemia  and  near 
Schonberg  in  Moravia ;  this  is  intermediate  between  A.  Trichomanes 
and  A.  viride,  and  Milde  considers  it  as  certainly  a  hybrid. 

The  next  is  A.  dolosum,  Milde,  of  which  a  single  caudex  was  found 
by  Milde  growing  with  A.  Trichomanes  and  A.  Adiantum-nigrum  at 
Meran  in  the  Southern  Tyrol,  and  which  he  also  believes  to  be  a 
hybrid ;  I  have  not  seen  this  form,  but  it  evidently  approaches 
A.  Clermontae  very  closely  :  it  differs  by  having  the  stipes  entirely 
and  the  rachis  partly  blackish,  the  pinnae  more  deeply  divided  and 
with  acute  teeth,  and  the  indusium  quite  entire. 

The  third  form  is  A.  Heufleri,  Beichardt,  which  was  found  growing 
with  A.  Trichomanes  and  A.  Germanicum  between  Yilpian  and 
Molten,  in  the  Southern  Tyrol,  and  at  Eichorn,  Moravia  :  this  is  quite 
intermediate  between  the  two  species  with  which  it  grows,  and  is 
considered  by  Milde  to  be  a  hybrid. 

I  have  scarcely  any  doubt  that  A.  Clermontae  is  a  hybrid  between 
A.  Trichomanes  and  A.  Ruta-muraria,  between  which  it  is  quite  inter- 
mediate, and  it  ought  to  be  looked  for  in  other  places  where  these  t\\  o 
species  grow  together.  The  plant  has  been  eradicated  at  Ravensdale 
Park,  but  it  is  quite  possible  it  may  survive  in  some  fern-grower's 
collection.  I  have  followed  the  example  of  Milde  in  giving  a  distinct 
name  to  this  form. 

It  is  but  an  inference  that  ferns  do  produce  hybrids,  as  it  has  never 
been  actually  proved  by  experiment,  but  every  new  intermediate  form 
which  exists  in  extremely  small  quantity  and  is  found  in  circumstances 
where  the  supposed  parents  grow  together  adds  to  the  probability  of 
hybridization  in  ferns.  A.  Clermontaa  has  a  peculiar  interest,  as  so 
many  of  the  supposed  hybrids  cluster  round  A.  Trichomanes.

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Plant  growing  in  very  dense  tufts.  The  stipes  is  very  variable  in 
length  in  proportion  to  the  lamina,  even  in  fronds  from  the  same 
tuft.  The  scales  are  strongly  clathrate,  with  the  network  very  thick. 
The  lamina  is  §  inch  to  2h  inches  by  J  to  1 J  inch  broad.  The  ultimate 
segments  vary  from  -§-  to  i  inch  long  in  vars.  a  and  j3,  but  in  var.  y 
they  are  f  inch  long  or  even  more. 

In  young  plants  the  first  fronds  are  entire  and  somewhat  resemble 
one  of  the  segments  of  the  barren  frond  of  Botrychium  Lunaria  :  they 
are  much  thinner  in  texture  than  in  the  mature  plant.  These  fronds 
are  succeeded  by  trifoliate  ones. 

Dwarf  forms  are  sometimes  trifoliate  or  pinnate. 

Yar.  y  is  frequently  little  more  than  pinnate  with  the  long  ultimate 
segments  connected  at  the  base.  It  has  sometimes  been  mistaken  for 
A.  Grermanicum,  which  see.

England,  Scotland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Fronds  1  to  5  inches  high,  of  which  the  stipes  is  generally  the 
greater  part.  Lowest  pinnae  ^  to  ^  inch  in  length.  A.  Germanicum 
is  liable  to  be  confounded  with  elongated  forms  of  A.  Ruta-muraria, 
but  the  stipes  is  without  glands,  more  wiry,  and  a  much  greater  part 
of  it  is  darker-coloured  and  very  persistent,  so  that  tufts  of  old 
plants  remind  one  of  those  of  A.  Trichomanes.  The  frond  is  thinner, 
of  a  paler  green  ;  the  pinnae  less  divided,  more  shortly  stalked,  more 
incurved,  shorter  and  more  deeply  crenate  or  serrate  at  the  apex ; 
the  sori  are  longer,  with  the  indusium  quite  entire ;  the  spores  are 
considerably  smaller  and  with  fewer  tubercles  than  in  any  form  of 
A.  Ruta-muraria. 

Bory  considers  this  species  a  hybrid  between  A.  Ruta-muraria  and 
A.  septentrionale,  and  Ascherson  a  hybrid  between  A.  septentrionale

and  A.  Tricliomanes  ;  Hiiter,  a  hybrid  between  A.  Ruta-muraria  and 
A.  Trichomanes ;  but  there  seems  no  ground  for  regarding  the  plant  as 
anything  but  a  true  species.  Although  scarce  in  Britain,  it  is  not  so 
on  the  continent,  and  is  found  over  the  whole  of  Europe.  Accord- 
ing to  Milde,  it  is  common  in  Silesia  and  the  Tyrol,  and  he  has 
seen  it  in  many  places,  not  in  company  with  A.  septentrionale  or 
A.  Trichomanes  or  A.  Euta-muraria.

GENUS  XIV.-Q  E  T  E  R A  C  H .     Willd. 

Fronds  produced  from  the  apex  of  the  caudex,  tufted,  subcoriaceous, 
pinnatifid,  densely  clothed  beneath  with  imbricated  ovate  sub- 
cordate  scales,  which  are  at  first  silvery,  afterwards  pale  reddish- 
brown.  Stipes  not  articulated  to  the  caudex,  containing  2  vascular 
bundles  which  unite  upwards  and  give  a  4-lobed  section  in  the  centre 
of  the  stipes.  Veins  forked,  the  ultimate  ones  more  or  less  anasto- 
mosing. Scales  clathrate,  composed  of  short  cells,  with  thickened 
boundaries.  Sori  linear,  attached  along  the  side  of  the  veins.  Indu- 
sium  absent,  or  rudimentary  and  attached  along  the  vein. 

Name  from  Chetherak,  a  name  applied  to  some  fern  used  by  the  Arabian  and 
Persian  physicians.

Very  variable  in  size  and  in  the  length  of  the  lamina,  generally 
speaking  the  larger  the  lamina  the  longer  in  proportion  is  the  stipes. 
Of  the  lamina  I  have  specimens  from  4  inches  long  by  \  inch  wide ; 
10  inches  long  by  3  inches  wide;  17  inches  long  by  3£  inches  wide ; 
and  2  feet  long  by  2 \  inches  wide.  These  dimensions  will  show 
that  there  is  a  great  want  of  regularity  in  the  length  and  breadth  of 
the  fronds.  Frequently  the  fronds  are  more  or  less  undulated  and 
sometimes  crisped  at  the  margins,  but  the  latter  seldom  occurs 
without  the  sori  being  more  or  less  abnormal,  often  short,  sometimes 
few  in  number  or  even  absent  altogether. 

This  is  one  of  the  Ferns  which  are  the  special  delight  of  fern-growers, 
from  the  number  of  remarkable  monstrosities  which  occur.  Some- 
times the  stipes  is  branched,  sometimes  the  frond  is  divided  into  two 
or  more  divisions  towards  the  base,  but  more  frequently  it  is  multifid 
at  the  apex ;  sometimes  it  is  deeply  lobed  along  the  margin,  with  the 
lobes  deeply  crenate  or  incised ;  sometimes  it  is  extremely  short  and 
almost  reniform ;  sometimes  there  are  a  number  of  short  reniform 
divisions ;  sometimes  the  sori  are  abbreviated  near  the  margins ; 
sometimes  they  are  quite  marginal,  or  even  appear  on  the  upper 
surface.  Many  of  these  monstrous  forms  can  be  reproduced  from 
spores,  and  sometimes  it  is  said  that  when  part  of  the  frond  is  normal 
and  part  abnormal,  the  spores  on  the  normal  part  produce  normal 
plants  and  vice  versa.

The  above  description  is  applicable  only  to  the  genus  Paesia  of 
St.  Hilaire,  which  appears  to  be  the  oldest  name  for  the  group  con- 
taining the  Brake-fern,  which  is  almost  cosmopolitan,  and  surely 
better  deserves  to  retain  the  name  of  Pteris  than  any  of  the  others 
which  have  been  left  in  the  genus  by  those  who  have  broken  it  up  : 
even  those  authors  who  include  the  Brake-fern  in  .the  genus  Pteris 
admit  that  in  habit  of  growth  and  indusium  it  differs  not  only  from 
the  genus,  but  also  from  the  group  Pterideaa.  I  have  therefore 
retained  the  name  Pteris,  thinking  that  it  is  rather  the  less  familiar 
species  which  do  not  agree  with  it  that  should  be  removed.

divided  is  the  lamina.  In  the  thick  stipes  the  vascular  bundle  is 
very  conspicuous,  and  has  been  fancied  to  represent  a  spread  eagle  ; 
whence  the  name  '  aquilina.'  Others  have  seen  in  it  a  resemblance 
to  an  oak-tree,  and  the  section  is  spoken  of  as  '  King  Charles  in 
the  oak.' 

Mr.  Francis  Darwin  has  observed  glands  secreting  nectar  at  the 
base  of  the  branches  of  the  rachis ;  these  glands  cease  to  secrete 
when  the  frond  is  mature  (Journ.  Linn.  Soc,  vol.  ii.  p.  407). 

Mr.  Moore  distinguishes  a  variety  integerrima,  in  which  the 
secondary  pinnules  instead  of  being  deeply  pinnatifid  are  nearly 
entire,  but  this  seems  to  be  the  effect  of  growing  in  poor  soil. 

Seedling  plants  have  the  frond  much  thinner  in  texture,  and  the 
ultimate  pinnules  roundish-ovate  and  crenate ;  and  the  same  form  of 
the  plant  has  been  found  on  walls. 

Pt.  aquilina  is  remarkable  for  the  rudimentary  state  of  the 
lamina  when  the  fronds  first  emerge  from  the  ground,  but  the 
after  development  is  very  rapid.

the  extremity  of  the  veins  on  the  renexed  flaps  of  the  margins  of 
the  frond,  which  form  false  indusia.

usually  about  as  long  as  the  lamina,  slender,  wiry,  purplish-black, 
furnished  at  the  base  with  a  tuft  of  very  narrowly-linear  scales 
acuminated  into  slender  points.  Lamina  submembranous,  trans- 
lucent, pea-green,  dim,  glabrous,  rhombic-ovate  or  rhombic-lanceolate 
or  triangular-ovate  or  oblong,  bipinnate  or  tripinnate,  at  least  below  ; 
ultimate  pinnules  shortly-stalked,  obovate  or  reniform  or  oblanceolate 
or  lunate,  inversely  deltoid  or  wedgeshaped  or  subtruncate  at  the 
base,  more  or  less  deeply  inciso-crenate  or  palmatifid.  Sori  trans- 
versely oblong  or  transversely  strapshaped,  more  or  less  curved,  with 
the  convexity  of  the  curve  pointing  towards  the  base  of  the  pinnae. 
General  and  partial  rachides  capillary,  purplish-black. 

On  the  faces  of  cliffs,  on  limestone  rocks,  and  in  caves,  usually 
near  the  sea,  and  high,  ascending  to  a  height  of  800  feet  or  more  in 
the  south-west  of  Ireland.  Rare  and  very  local.  Near  St.  Ives,  Pen- 
zance, and  other  places  in  Cornwall ;  in  several  places  about  Ilfra-

J.  Low  ;  Dunraven,  and  Barry  Island,  and  East  Aberthaw,  Glamorgan, 
said  to  have  occurred  near  Stonehaven,  Kincardineshire,  but  doubtless 
this  is  an  error ;  also  in  Arran,  from  confounding  Clyde  and  Galway 
Islands.  Glenmeay,  Isle  of  Man.  In  the  west  of  Ireland  in  several 
places,  between  Tralee  and  Dingle,  co.  Kerry  ;  several  places  in  co. 
Clare,  Isle  of  Arran,  Galway,  and  perhaps  further  northward  in  the 
wTest  of  Ireland. 

England,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Rootstock  from  the  thickness  of  a  crow-quill  to  that  of  a  goose- 
quill.  Fronds  variable  in  size,  erect  when  small,  drooping  when  large. 
The  smallest  British  specimens  I  have  are  from  Ilfracombe,  in  which 
the  stipes  is  §  inch  long,  the  lamina  1  inch  by  J  inch  broad,  and  the 
pinnules  about  ^  inch  each  way.  Glamorganshire  specimens  have  a 
stipes  1  to  3  inches  long,  and  a  lamina  from  2  by  §  inch  to  6  inches 
by  2  inches;  while  specimens  from  the  Isle  of  Arran,  Galway,  sent 
me  by  Dr.  Perceval  Wright,  have  the  stipes  as  much  as  9  inches  long, 
and  a  lamina  6  inches  by  4  inches,  and  pinnules  ^  to  §  long  by  § 
broad.  The  pinnules  are  covered  with  a  waxy  bloom  from  which 
water  rolls  off  in  drops  without  wetting  the  surface — hence  the  name 
of  the  genus. 

There  is  a  good  deal  of  variation  both  in  the  shape  and  in  the 
degree  of  incision  of  the  pinnules ;  but  they  vary  to  a  considerable 
extent,  even  on  fronds  from  the  same  caudex.

'Nat.  Print  Brit.  Ferns,'  8vo.  ed.  vol.  ii.  p.  66. 

This  plant  is  known  only  in  cultivation.  First  seen  in  1851  by 
Mr.  T.  Moore,  from  the  gardens  at  Peper-Harrow  Park,  Surrey. 
Afterwards  exhibited  by  Mr.  Parker,  nurseryman,  Hornsey. 

"  These  plants  being  reported  by  Mr.  Williams,  then  of  Hoddesdon, 
to  have  been  received  by  him  a  few  years  previously  as  A.  viride, 
from  a  gardener  whose  friend,  named  Filden,  who  it  appears  died  soon 
after  the  occurrence,  had  found  them  in  Scotland  and  sent  three 
roots." — Moore. 

Judging  from  Mr.  Moore's  description  and  the  figure  in  Lowe's 
'  Native  Ferns,'  vol.  ii.  pi.  xlii.,  I  believe  this  to  be  a  distinct  species, 
but  the  evidence  that  it  occurred  in  Scotland  is  far  too  slight  to 
entitle  it  to  a  place  in  the  '  British  Flora.' 

LOMARIA    ALPINA.    Sprmg. 

A  plant  of  the  temperate  parts  of  the  Southern  Hemisphere,  which 
was  reported  to  have  been  found  by  a  lady  "in  the  crevices  of  an 
old  stone  wall,  by  the  side  of  a  mountain  torrent,  not  far  from  Loch 
Tay,  Perthshire,  Scotland,  June,  1856."  Mr.  Gr.  B.  Wollaston,  in 
'  Phytologist,'  series  ii.  1859,  p.  157.     Doubtless  an  error. 

ONOCLEA    SENSIBILIS.    Linn. 

A  North  American  plant,  which  has  escaped  from  cultivation  or 
been  planted  in  a  few  localities.  Seen  by  Mr.  H.  Baines  "in  a  lane 
at  Moreby,  near  York,  now  extinct  ?"  Suppl.  Fl.  Yorksh.  p.  144,  and

over  a  considerable  space  of  boggy  ground,  planted  as  a  nursery  with 
young  poplars.  He  (Mr.  Wilson)  told  me  that  a  botanical  garden 
formerly  existed  there."  Phytol.  1846,  vol.  ii.  p.  432.  Mr.  Samuel 
Grilson,  in  1843,  speaks  of  it  as  growing  "  in  an  old  stone  quarry 
near  Warrington."  This  fern  was  found  "  in  the  above  locality  by 
John  Roby,  Esq.,  of  Rochdale."     Phytol.  vol.  i.  p.  492. 

ORDER  XCY.-EQUISETACEiE. 

Perennial  herbs  with  subterraneous  creeping  rhizomes.  Stems 
cylindrical,  jointed,  hollow,  usually  with  verticillate  branches  at  the 
top  of  each  internode,  rarely  simple  ;  internodes  terminated  above  by 
a  sheath  ending  in  teeth  (a  whorl  of  connate  leaves)  which  embraces 
the  base  of  the  succeeding  internode.  Branches  jointed  and  sheathed 
similarly  to  the  stem,  sometimes  absent.  Sporangia  opening  by  a 
longitudinal  cleft,  arranged  6  to  9  in  a  circle  on  the  inner  side  of 
stalked  peltate  verticillate  plates,  which  are  arranged  in  an  ovoid 
or  oblong  terminal  spike.  Spores  very  numerous,  minute,  similar ; 
each  furnished  with  4  filiform  appendages  (elaters)  which  spring 
from  one  point  and  are  thickened  at  the  apex,  at  first  rolled  spirally 
round  the  spore,  but  ultimately  uncoiling ;  the  elaters  are  hygrometric. 
uncoiling  when  dry  and  rolling  round  the  spore  when  damp.  Pro- 
thallium  green,  flat,  lobed,  commonly  dioecious,  producing  archegonia 
and  antheridia  resembling  those  of  Filices.

Stems  of  two  kinds,  perishing  in  autumn.  Sterile  stem  stout, 
cylindrical,  with  even  or  smooth  20  to  40  stria?  scarcely  observable 
in  the  living  plant,  smooth  or  slightly  rough  in  the  upper  part, 
white.  Sheaths  applied  to  the  stem,  pale  green  with  a  pitchy-black 
ring  towards  the  apex  ;  teeth  20  to  40,  free  or  some  of  them  united 
in  pairs  or  threes,  subulate,  very  acute,  pitchy-black  with  brown 
scarious  margins.  Branches  very  numerous,  spreading  or  slightly 
drooping  in  luxuriant  specimens,  scabrous,  4-  or  5-quetrous,  wTith  the 
ridges  grooved  and  separated  by  rather  shallow  furrows,  solid, 
unbranched  or  rarely  with  one  or  more  branchlets,  their  lowest 
internodes  falling  short  of  the  teeth  of  the  sheath ;  sheath  enclosing 
the  base  of  the  first  internode  of  the  branch,  pitchy-black,  with  a  pale 
brown  scarious  apex,  furnished  with  short  rounded  lobes ;  sheaths 
at  the  apex  of  the  first  and  succeeding  internodes  of  the  branches, 
terminated  by  triangular  or  triangular-subulate  teeth,  which  have 
frequently  setaceous  points.  Fertile  stem  short,  very  stout,  succulent, 
whitish,  ultimately  pale  brown,  smooth.  Sheaths  close  together, 
funnel-shaped,  the  lower  ones  overlapping  each  other,  and  even  the 
upper  frequently  showing  but  a  small  portion  of  the  stem  between 
them,  pale  brown,  darker  towards  the  apex  ;  teeth  20  to  40,  many  of 
them  united  into  groups  of  2  to  4,  dark  brown,  subulate,  not  at  all 
connivent.  Spike  oblong-cylindrical,  obtuse,  pale  brown.  Occa- 
sionally stems  similar  to  the  sterile  stem,  but  terminated  by  a  spike 
like  the  fertile  ones,  appear  in  summer  or  autumn. 

On  the  banks  of  ponds,  rivers,  and  ditches,  and  on  banks  of  loose 
earth  and  quarry  rubbish,  also  in  damp  woods  and  moist  meadows, 
even  growing  in  water.     Not   uncommon,  and  generally  distributed

in  England.  Rare  in  Scotland,  extending  to  Edinburgh  on  the  east 
side  and  Skye  on  the  west ;  reported  also  from  Fife  and  Forfar,  but 
these  counties  require  confirmation.  Not  unfrequent,  and  generally 
distributed  in  Ireland. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Spring. 

Rootstock  creeping,  about  the  thickness  of  a  goose-quill,  solid, 
brownish-black,  pubescent.  Sterile  stems  erect,  very  variable  in  size, 
but  usually  attaining  to  2  or  3  feet,  and  not  unfrequently  even 
4  or  5  ;  and  Mr.  Sidebotham,  in  the  '  Phytologist,'  1843,  p.  649,  says 
that  "  in  a  wood  below  Arden  Hall,  Cheshire,  it  flourishes  in  a  swamp 
to  the  height  of  6  or  7  feet."  The  stem  is  from  the  thickness  of  a 
swan-quill  to  that  of  a  man's  finger,  with  very  numerous  sheaths,  all 
of  which,  except  about  6  of  the  lowest,  have  whorls  of  branches  at 
their  base.  The  lowest  whorls  are  about  lj  inch  apart  or  more, 
closer  together  above,  and  quite  approximate  at  the  apex  of  the  stem, 
where  the  branches  rapidly  diminish  in  size.  The  colour  is  pale 
bright-green,  and  the  general  form  of  the  plant  is  cylindrical, 
tapering  towards  the  lower  part,  and  blunt  at  the  top.  Fertile  stems 
4  inches  to  1  foot  high,  about  the  thickness  of  a  man's  little  finger, 
tapering  downwards  at  the  base,  with  7  to  18  sheaths,  which  are 
placed  so  closely  together  that  the  lower  part  of  the  stem,  and  some- 
times the  whole  stem,  is  concealed.  I  have,  however,  one  specimen 
from  St.  Mary's  Church,  Devon,  in  which  the  upper  internodes  are 
2|  inches  long,  while  the  sheath  itself  is  only  1|  inch.  Spike  1\  to 
3  inches  long,  ultimately  pale  brown. 

The  form  of  fertile  stem  (var.  serotinum,  A.  Braun),  which 
resembles  the  barren  one,  is  not  a  variety,  but  is  due  to  certain 
conditions  of  growth,  and  is  not  always  developed  from  the  same 
plant.  I  have  collected  it  myself  at  Haselmere,  Surrey,  and  on  the 
de'bris  of  the  under-cliff  below  Fairlight  Glen,  Hastings,  where 
I  observed  many  examples  of  it  in  1862  ;  I  have  seen  it  also  on  the 
cliffs  east  of  Southend,  Essex,  and  the  under-cliif  at  Folkestone.  The 
Haselmere  and  Fairlight  Glen  specimens  are  18  inches  or  2  feet  high, 
terminated  by  a  spike  of  1  or  2  inches  ;  the  rest  of  the  stem  is  quite 
like  the  ordinary  sterile  plant,  except  that  the  sheaths  are  widened 
upwards,  though  not  so  much  as  in  the  sterile  plant :  but  the 
Folkestone  and  Southend  specimens  are  4  to  6  inches  high,  with 
spikes  J  to  1  inch  long,  have  the  sheaths  close  together,  much  widened 
upwards,  and  so  bear  a  much  greater  resemblance  to  the  ordinary 
fertile  stem,  except  in  being  furnished  with  branches. 

If  the  rootstock  be  dug  up  at  the  time  the  sterile  stern  has  reached 
its  full  size,  the  buds  of  the  fertile  spikes  may  be  observed  near  its 
base,  1 J  to  2  inches  long,  looking  like  small  fir-cones  from  the  over- 
lapping of  the  teeth  of  the  sheaths.  These  are  developed  in  the 
succeeding  spring,  about  March,  and  disappear  by  May,  at  which  time 


152  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

the  fertile  stems  appear,  and  last  till  October  or  November;  perhaps 
if  the  female  spikes  are  started  into  growth  in  the  summer  or  autumn 
they  develop  branches. 

According  to  Milde,  the  sterile  stem,  terminated  by  a  spike,  is  the 
E.  eburneum  of  Schreber.

Babenh.  Crypt.  Yasc.  Exsicc.  Xos.  46,  47,  and  48. 

Stems  of  two  kinds,  perishing  in  autumn.  Sterile  stem  rather 
slender,  with  6  to  19  furrows,  slightly  rough,  especially  in  the  upper 
part,  green.  Sheaths  shortly  cylindrical,  very  slightly  widened 
upwards,  pale  green  ;  teeth  6  to  19,  free  or  some  of  them  united  in 
pairs  or  threes,  triangular-subulate  acute,  concolorous  or  edged 
with  pale  brown,  with  very  narrow  light  brown  scarious  margins. 
Branches  numerous,  rarely  few,  ascending  or  slightly  drooping  m 
luxuriant  specimens,  usually  4-quetrous,  with  the  ridges  not  grooved 
and  separated  by  very  deep  furrows  and  the  angles  not  grooved,  solid, 
unbranched  or  rarely  with  a  few  branchlets,  their  lowest  internode 
exceeding  the  teeth  of  the  stem-sheath  between  which  it  is  pro- 
duced ;  sheath  enclosing  the  base  of  the  first  internode  of  the  branch 
pale  brown  or  olive,  dim,  furnished  with  short  roundish-ovate  teeth 
with  narrow  pale  scarious  margins ;  sheaths  at  the  apex  of  the  first 
and  succeeding  internodes  of  the  branches  terminated  by  as  many 
subulate  teeth  as  there  are  angles  on  the  branch.  Fertile  stem  more 
or  less  elongated,  moderately  stout,  succulent,  whitish  or  pale  brown, 
smooth.  Sheaths  rather  distant,  tubular-funnel-shaped,  sulcate, 
whitish  at  the  base,  brown  towards  the  apex  ;  teeth  8  to  14,  most 
of  them  often  united  into  groups  of  2  or  3,  dark  brown,  triangular- 
subulate,  often  somewhat  connivent.  Spike  cylindrical-oblong, 
obtuse,  pale  brown.  Rarely  fertile  stems  are  produced  along  with  or 
after  the  sterile  stems,  which  are  much  firmer  and  greener  than  the 
ordinary  state,  with  pale  green  sheaths,  and  these  generally  ultimately 
produce  whorls  of  branches  like  those  of  the  sterile  stem,  but  often 
with  the  first  internode  of  the  branch  not  exceeding  the  sheath  below 
which  it  is  placed. 

By  roadsides  and  in  waste  places,  and  in  cultivated  ground,  very

EQUISETACEJE.  153 

Rootstock  rather  slender,  solid,  with  oblong  pubescent  tuber-like 
excrescences.  Sterile  stems  erect,  decumbent,  or  prostrate ;  when  erect 
it  is  usually  1  to  2  feet  high  or  even  more,  and  frequently  terminates  in 
a  long  portion  bare  of  branches,  and  is  about  the  thickness  of  a  crow- 
quill  in  the  lower  part,  which  commences  to  branch  at  the  extremity 
of  the  5th  to  the  14th  internode,  but  usually  about  the  8th  from  the 
base.  The  colour  is  rather  dull  green,  and  the  general  form  some- 
what pyramidal  or  cylindrical,  tapering  from  about  the  middle 
upwards.  When  growing  in  cultivated  land  a  great  number  of 
decumbent  or  prostrate  stems  are  produced,  with  long  branches 
generally  few  in  each  whorl.  In  the  form  named  alpestre,  by 
Wahlenberg,  which  grows  at  Micklefell,  Teesdale,  the  sterile  stem  is 
short,  2  to  3  inches,  prostrate,  with  an  ascending  terminal  point  and 
subsecund  branches.  I  have  seen  a  similar  form  on  the  shores  of 
Loch  Leven. 

The  fertile  stem  is  4  inches  to  1  foot  high,  with  4  to  8  sheaths. 
The  spike  is  §  to  1^  inches  long. 

The  fertile  form,  which  afterwards  throws  out  branches,  appears  to 
be  much  rarer  in  E.  arvense  than  in  E.  maximum.  I  collected  in 
September,  1838,  by  the  side  of  Gartmorn  Dam,  near  Alloa,  Clack- 
mannanshire, a  fertile  form,  with  a  few  branches  at  the  base,  which 
resembles  the  form  called  E.  riparium  by  Fries,  but  its  sterile  stems 
are  more  branched.  In  1874  a  good  many  late  fertile  stems  came 
up  at  Balmuto  in  the  month  of  June  ;  at  first  they  were  quite 
unbranched,  but  distinguishable  by  their  green  colour  and  faintly 
ribbed  surface  ;  their  sheaths  were  green,  less  deeply  sulcate  than 
those  of  the  ordinary  fertile  form.  Most  of  these  I  gathered  and 
dried  as  specimens.  I  do  not  know  whether  they  would  all  have 
produced  branches  or  not,  but  in  July  I  found  in  the  same  place 
several  specimens  with  developed  branches,  sometimes  in  complete 
whorls,  but  generally  only  2  or  3  ;  since  that  year  only  the  ordinary 
forms  of  fertile  and  barren  fronds  have  appeared.  This  form,  when 
fully  developed,  is  the  var.  campestre  of  C.  F.  Schultz,  and  the  var. 
serotinum  of  F.  W.  Meyer ;  but  I  believe  it  to  be  only  an  accidental 
variation,  not  a  variety.

Stems  of  two  kinds,  perishing  in  autumn.  Sterile  stem  slender, 
with  8  to  20  furrows,  rather  rough,  green.  Sheaths  shortly  funnel- 
shaped,  pale  green,  sometimes  with  a  pitchy-brown  ring  at  the  apex ; 
teeth  6  to  19,  usually  free,  rarely  some  of  them  united  in  pairs  or 
threes,  very  narrowly  triangular,  hyaline  with  the  exception  of 
a  brown  central  firm  rib,  which  is  generally  excurrent  in  a  small 
mucro,  but  sometimes  does  not  reach  the  apex.  Branches  numerous, 
usually  3-quetrous,  with  the  ridges  not  grooved,  and  separated  by 
very  deep  furrows,  solid,  unbranched  or  rarely  with  a  few  branchlets, 
their  lowest  internode  shorter  than  the  teeth  of  the  stem-sheath  below 
which  it  is  produced  in  the  lower  whorls,  but  equalling  or  exceeding 
them  in  the  upper  whorls  ;  sheath  enclosing  the  base  of  the  first 
internode  of  the  branch  brown,  mostly  wholly  scarious  towards  the 
apex,  furnished  with  short  rounded  lobes ;  sheaths  at  the  apex  of  the 
first  and  succeeding  internodes  of  the  branches,  terminated  by  deltoid 
blunt  teeth.  Fertile  stem  rather  short,  rather  stout,  at  first  slightly 
succulent  and  reddish-white  or  very  pale  fawn-colour,  ultimately 
firm  and  green,  slightly  scabrous.  Sheaths  approximate,  the  lowTer 
ones  tubular-funnel-shaped  and  the  upper  funnel-shaped,  sulcate,  wrhite 
with  a  dark  reddish-brown  ring  at  the  apex  ;  teeth  8  to  20,  subulate, 
almost  wholly  scarious,  some  of  them  occasionally  united  into  groups 
of  2  or  3,  pale  brown,  with  hyaline  margins  and  a  brown  central 
firm  rib  as  in  the  sheaths  of  the  sterile  stem.  Branches  absent  until 
the  fertile  stem  has  attained  nearly  its  full  height,  when  they  begin 
to  appear;  they  are  similar  to  those   of  the   barren  stem,  but  always

shorter,  generally  much  shorter.     Spike  oblong-fusiform,  obtuse,  at 
first  greenish-white,  afterwards  fawn-colour.  * 

In  pastures,  especially  by  the  sides  of  streams,  and  on  shady  banks 
and  in  woods.  Local  and  rather  rare,  extending  from  TVestmoreland 
(or  perhaps  Lancashire)  and  Yorkshire  to  Lanark,  Stirling,  Perth, 
Banff  and  Caithness.  Local  in  Ireland,  and  confined  to  the  North  ; 
most  plentiful  in  the  mountain  glens  of  Antrim. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Late  Spring  and 

early  Summer. 

Rootstock  slender,  without  tubers.  Sterile  stem  from  the  thickness 
of  a  stocking- wire  to  that  of  a  crow-quill ;  usually  9  to  18  inches 
high.  Plant  pale  green,  somewhat  cylindrical,  usually  blunt-topped, 
sometimes  bending  over  at  the  apex,  with  the  branches  spreading  or 
drooping  and  slightly  arching,  occasionally  somewhat  secund.  Fertile 
stem  appearing  in  April  or  the  beginning  of  May,  4  to  14  inches 
high.  The  sheaths  are  wider,  the  higher  they  are  placed  on  the  stem. 
Spike  J  to  |  inch  long. 

A  very  distinct  species,  though  the  barren  stems  are  sometimes 
mistaken  for  those  of  E.  arvense,  but  the  teeth  of  the  sheaths  are 
very  different,  being  entirely  transparent  except  the  thickened  central 
rib.  The  branches  are  generally  triquetrous,  not  usually  tetra- 
quetrous  as  in  E.  arvense  ;  the  first  internode  of  the  branch  rarely 
reaches  even  to  the  base  of  the  teeth  of  the  stem-sheath  below  which 
it  springs ;  while  in  E.  arvense  it  generally  exceeds,  and  always 
attains,  the  level  of  the  apex  of  the  teeth.  The  little  sheaths  from 
which  the  branches  spring  are  distinctly  toothed  in  E.  arvense,  which 
is  not  the  case  in  E.  pratense ;  and  this  latter  has  the  teeth  of  the 
sheaths  of  the  branches  very  obtuse,  while  they  are  acute  in 
E.  arvense.  The  fertile  stems  are  not  likely  to  be  mistaken,  the 
sheaths  are  so  different ;  those  of  E.  arvense  have  the  central  rib 
furrowed  on  the  back,  and  the  teeth  with  very  narrow  scarious 
margins,  while  in  E.  pratense  the  central  rib  has  no  furrow  on  the 
back,  and  except  a  small  projection  at  the  base,  from  which  the  rib 
springs,  they  are  wholly  scarious. 

The  fertile  stems  of  E.  pratense  are  to  be  compared  with  those 
occasionally  found  in  E.  maximum  and  E.  arvense  which  ultimately 
produce  branches.  E.  pratense  has  never,  so  far  as  I  know,  any  form 
of  fertile  stem  analogous  to  the  ordinary  fertile  steins  of  E.  maximum 
and  E.  arvense.

Stems  of  two  kinds,  perishing  in   autumn.     Sterile   stem   rather 
slender,  with  10  to  18  furrows,  separated  by  ridges,  usually  furnished 
with  lines  of  minute  spreading  bristle-like  processes  which  are  longest 
immediately  beneath  the  sheaths,  or  rarely  nearly  smooth,  pale  green. 
Sheaths  cylindrical,  green,  reddish-brown  at  the  apex ;  teeth  10  to  18, 
generally  combined  into  3  or  4  obtuse  hooded  lobes,  rarely  any  of 
them    free,    linear-subulate,    reddish-brown   or   more    rarely  pitchy- 
brown,  scarious,  with  the  exception  of  a  concolorous  firm  central  rib, 
which    reaches    to    the    tip,   but   is    not  excurrent.      Branches  very 
numerous,  usually  tetraquetrous,   with    the    ridges    faintly  grooved 
and   separated   by  very   deep    furrows,   solid,  much  branched,  their 
lowest  internode  is  sometimes  shorter  than  the  teeth  of  the  stem- 
sheath  below  which  it  is  produced,  but  exceeding  them  in  the  upper 
whorls ;    sheath    enclosing    the    base   of   the  first  internode  of    the 
branch  olive,  scarious   and    reddish-brown    at    the    apex,  furnished 
with  long  triangular  acute  teeth  ;  sheath  at  the  apex  of  the  first  and 
succeeding   internodes    terminated    by    subulate   very    acute    teeth. 
Branchlets   trigonous,  their  sheaths  with  very  long   subulate  teeth 
curving  away  from  the    branchlet.      Fertile    stem   elongate,   rather 
stout,  at  first  somewhat  succulent  and  pale  fawn-colour,  ultimately 
firm  and  pale  green,  less  deeply  striated  and  smoother  than  in  the 
barren   stem.      Sheaths  rather  distant,  loose  longly  cylindrical,  con- 
tracted at   the  apex,   their  teeth  collected   into  a  few  blunt  much- 
hooded  lobes,  marked  with  lines  indicating  the  midribs  of  the  teeth, 
striate,    but    scarcely    sulcate    even  at  the   base.      Branches    absent 
until  the  fertile  stem  has  attained  nearly  its  full  height,  when  they 
begin  to  appear  ;  they  are  similar  to  those  of  the  barren  stem,  but 
usually,   though    not   always,  shorter.      Spike  oblong-cylindrical   or 
oblong-fusiform,  at  first  greenish-white,  afterwards  fawn-colour. 

In  moist  woods  and  by  the  sides  of  streams,  roadsides,  and  waste 
places,  and  on  heaths.  Rather  common  and  generally  distributed 
throughout  England  and  Scotland,  extending  to  Orkney  and  Shetland. 
Not  infrequent  throughout  Ireland.

EQUISETACEJE.  157 

Rootstock  rather  slender,  angular,  with  a  ring  of  open  tubes 
running  through  it,  producing  brown  acuminated  tubers.  Stems 
usually  1  foot  to  18  inches  high,  and  rarely  exceeding  2  feet ; 
remarkable  for  the  lines  of  bristle-like  projections  on  the  ridges  of  the 
stem;  these  bristles  vary  much  in  length,  and  sometimes  are  alto- 
gether absent ;  I  have  specimens  from  Kingcansie,  Kincardineshire, 
and  Cullalo,  Fifeshire,  in  which  they  are  wanting,  but  differ  in  no 
other  respect  from  the  ordinary  form.  The  plant  is  bright  green,  the 
form  somewhat  pyramidal  from  where  the  branches  begin,  which  is 
at  about  the  6th  to  the  8th  internode ;  the  branches  are  always 
arched  and  drooping,  and  the  top  of  the  stem  is  also  drooping  and 
secund.  The  fertile  stems  are  at  first  from  9  to  15  inches  high,  and 
at  that  time  are  succulent  and  terminated  by  a  spike  §  to  1J  inch 
long  ;  afterwards  the  branches  begin  to  appear,  and  are  short  and 
recurved ;  the  stem  continues  to  lengthen,  to  become  firmer,  and  the 
branches  to  increase  in  size,  the  spike  withers  away ;  and  ultimately 
the  fertile  frond  is  distinguishable  from  the  barren  one  mainly  by  its 
being  truncate  at  the  top,  where  usually  the  withered  remains  of  the 
spike  may  be  found.  The  fertile  stem  is  generally  smooth,  and  the 
first  internode  of  the  branches  shorter  than  the  stem-sheath  below 
which  it  is  produced. 

A  well-marked  species,  from  its  compound  drooping  branches,  and 
sheaths  with  the  teeth  combined  so  as  to  appear  lacerate  rather  than 
toothed.

are  not  grooved,  slightly  rough,  green.  Sheaths  shortly  cylindrical- 
funnel-shaped,  green,  often  pitchy-brown  towards  the  apex  ;  teeth 
5  to  12,  mostly  free,  or  more  rarely  some  of  them  united  in  pairs  or 
threes,  narrowly  triangular,  acute,  dark  brown  or  pitchy-black,  with 
very  broad  pure  white  hyaline  margins.  Branches  usually  in  whorls, 
but  sometimes  only  1  or  2  from  a  node,  and  sometimes  wholly  absent, 
generally  5-angular,  but  varying  from  4-  to  7-angular,  with  the  ridges 
separated  by  very  shallow  furrows,  hollow,  unbranched,  their  lowest 
internode  much  shorter  than  the  teeth  of  the  stem-sheath  below  which 
it  is  produced,  and  indeed  reduced  to  little  more  than  a  sheath  ; 
sheath  enclosing  the  base  of  the  first  internode  of  the  branch  pitchy- 
brown  or  nearly  black,  shining,  with  deltoid-ovate  obtuse  teetH 
having  very  narrow  pale  brown  or  whitish  scarious  margins  ;  sheath 
at  the  apex  of  the  first  internode  terminated  by  deltoid-ovate  blunt 
teeth ;  teeth  of  the  succeeding  internodes  ovate  or  ovate-lanceolate, 
with  a  weak  mucro.  Fertile  stem  differing  from  the  sterile  one  only 
in  being  terminated  by  a  spike  which  is  ovoid-oblong  or  cylindrical- 
oblong,  obtuse,  pitchy-black. 

In  bogs  and  marshes,  and  on  the  shores  of  lakes  and  ponds  and  on 
wet  rocks.  Common  and  generally  distributed  throughout  England 
and  Scotland,  extending  to  Orkney  and  Shetland ;  frequent  through- 
out Ireland. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer. 

A  very  variable  plant.  The  commonest  form  has  erect  stems, 
1  foot  high  or  more,  but  the  length  of  the  stem  varies  from  a  few 
inches  to  2  feet.  The  plant  is  of  a  rather  dull  green,  and  is  narrowly 
pyramidal  when  branched.  When  unbranched  it  is  the  var.  nudum 
of  Duby,  but  unbranched  stems  may  be  seen  springing  from  the 
same  rootstock  as  branched  ones.  The  stems  grow  more  in  tufts 
than  in  any  of  the  preceding  species,  and  in  this  respect  resemble  the 
Equiseta  hyemalia.  Frequently  the  stem  is  decumbent  or  prostrate 
and  without  branches,  when  it  is  the  var.  nudum  of  Newman  ('  Brit. 
Ferns,'  ed.  ii.  p.  49),  but  not  of  Duby,  the  var.  alpinum  of  Hooker, 
and  var.  subnudum  of  the  London  Catalogue  of  British  Plants ;  but 
this  appears  to  be  merely  a  starved  state  of  the  plant.  The  spike 
is  I  to  f  inch  long,  and  is  produced  in  June  or  July. 

An  extraordinary  state  of  the  fertile  stem,  in  which  1  or  more  of 
the  upper  branches  are  terminated  by  spikes,  has  received  the  name 
of  var.  polystachyum ;  but  this  is  evidently  a  monstrosity  rather  than 
a  variety.  Yery  often  the  main  central  stem  has  been  accidentally 
injured,  so  that  there  is  no  spike  at  its  apex  ;  but  specimens   occur 


EQUISETACE.E.  15£ 

^icti  have  not  only  a  spike  on  the  main  stem,  but  also  minute  ones- 
on  the  branches,  which  are  much  elongated. 

The  barren  fronds  of  E.  palustre  are  much  like  those  of  E.  arvense, 
but  may  be  readily  distinguished  by  the  teeth  of  the  stem-sheaths 
being  darker,  and  with  a  broader  white  margin ;  by  the  minute 
sheaths  from  which  the  branches  spring  being  pitchy-brown  or  black 
and  shining ;  by  the  branches  being  hollow  and  most  commonly 
5-angled,  and  with  the  faces  between  the  angles  not  excavated  into 
deep  grooves ;  by  the  teeth  of  the  sheaths  of  the  branches  being  much 
shorter  and  sulcate ;  and  above  all,  by  the  first  internode  of  the 
branches  being  extremely  short,  rarely  reaching  even  to  the  base  of 
the  teeth  of  the  stem-sheath,  while  in  E.  arvense  it  almost  always 
exceeds  the  apex  of  the  teeth  of  the  stem-sheath.

sometimes  united  in  pairs  or  threes,  narrowly  triangular  or  triangular- 
subulate,  acute,  usually  pitchy-black  or  at  least  tipped  with  that 
colour,  with  very  narrow  pale  brown  scarious  margins.  Branches 
usually  in  whorls,  but  sometimes  only  1  or  2  from  a  node,  and  often 
wholly  absent,  generally  4-angular  but  sometimes  5-  to  6-angled,  with

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer. 

Rootstock  hollow.  Stems  erect,  dark  green,  scarcely  striated,  when 
growing  easily  compressible  from  having  a  large  central  hollow  and 
thin  walls,  which  are  not  strengthened  by  a  cylinder  of  thickened 
cells  as  in  all  the  other  British  species  of  Equiseta.  In  var.  a  they 
vary  from  the  thickness  of  a  crow-quill  to  that  of  a  swan-quill ;  but 
in  var.  ft  they  are  frequently  as  thick  as  a  man's  little  finger.  The 
unbranched  forms  are  nearly  as  common  as  the  branched.  When 
growing  in  bogs  or  shallow  water  the  branches  are  commonly  absent, 
but  they  are  so  also  not  unfrequently  even  in  deep  water,  in  which 
the  plant  attains  its  greatest  development,  reaching  a  height  of 
3  or  4  feet,  or  even  more.  It  is  in  deep  water  too  that  the  barren 
stems  terminate  in  a  long  naked  point.  The  spike  is  ^  to  §  inch 
long,  less  cylindrical  than  in  the  preceding  species,  and  often  paler 
in  colour.  A  '  polystachyum '  form  occurs,  but  much  more  rarely 
than  in  E.  palustre. 

The  absence  of  furrows  on  the  stem  distinguishes  all  the  forms  of 
this  plant  from  those  of  E.  palustre  when  the  plants  are  fresh.  In 
the  dried  state  the  outside  of  the  stem  shrinks  so  that  it  appears 
furrowed ;  but  the  narrower  teeth,  without  conspicuous  white 
margins,  should  be  enough  to  distinguish  this  from  E.  palustre.  The 
want  of  a  cylinder  of  thickened  cells  is  a  characteristic  of  this  species ; 
indeed,  it  occurs  in  only  one  other  European  form,  namely,  E.  littorale 
of   Kiihlew,  which   is   generally    believed   to   be    a    hybrid  between 


EQUISETACE^E.  161 

E.  limosum  and  E.  arvense.  If  this  be  so,  it  is  not  unlikely  to 
occur  in  Britain.  E.  littorale  has  the  general  habit  of  the  forms  of 
E.  arvense  which  have  branched  fertile  stems,  but  the  rootstock  is 
angular  and  hollow,  and  there  is  no  ring  of  thickened  tissue  in  the 
stem ;  the  branches  also  are  generally  hollow. 

E.  limosum  is  a  variable  plant,  but  the  variations  run  too  much 
into  each  other  to  be  separable  into  varieties;  even  the  two  forms 
which  I  have  admitted  as  varieties  are  most  difficult  to  define,  and 
may  very  possibly  be  merely  states  of  the  plant  due  to  external 
circumstances.  I  have,  however,  retained  them,  as  they  are  generally 
accepted  in  this  country,  and  were  considered  distinct  species  by  both 
Linnaeus  and  Fries.

deciduous  teeth.  Branches  usually  solitary,  rarely  in  whorls,  often 
absent,  with  a  central  cavity.  Fertile  stems  differing  from  the  sterile 
ones  only  in  being  terminated  by  a  spike,  which  is  perfected  in  autumn 
or  late  summer.     Spike  mucronate  or  apiculate,  usually  black.

Stems  all  similar,  sub-evergreen,  mostly  solitary  from  each  node  or 
extremity  of  branch  of  the  rootstock,  rather  stout,  with  a  central 
hollow  of  about  two-thirds  its  diameter  with  15  to  34  rather  shallow

sheath,  so  that  by  their  fall  the  sheath  is  left  truncate  and  crenate  ; 
these  crenatures  correspond  with  the  bases  of  the  teeth.  Brandies 
absent  or  very  rarely  produced,  and  then  solitary,  resembling  the 
stem  in  miniature,  with  its  first  internode  much  shorter  than  the  stem- 
sheath,  below  which  it  is  produced ;  sheath  enclosing  the  first  inter- 
node of  the  branch  pitchy -black,  shining,  oblique ;  sheaths  at  the 
apex  of  the  first  and  succeeding  internodes  of  the  branch  terminated 
by  triangular  teeth  with  deciduous  subulate  scarious  points.  Spike 
oval-  or  roundish-ovoid,  acuminated  and  mucronate,  pitchy-black  or 
pitchy-brown,  its  base  embraced  by  the  persistent  teeth  of  the  upper- 
most stem-sheath. 

In  moist  woods  and  on  wet  banks  and  bogs,  and  in  wet  places 
amongst  sandhills,  rare,  from  Kent,  Surrey,  Hereford,  and  Glamorgan 
to  Aberdeen,  Banff,  Elgin,  Ross,  Perth,  Lanark,  and  Ayr.  Rare,  but 
distributed  from  north  to  south  of  Ireland. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Late  Summer,  Autumn. 

Rootstock  creeping,  black,  hollow.  Stems  1J  to  2^  feet  high; 
usually  about  the  thickness  of  a  goose-quill  or  a  swan-quill,  so  rough 
on  the  ridges  as  to  make  a  distinctly  grating  sound  when  the  finger- 
nail is  drawn  along  them  ;  spaces  between  the  ridges  transversely 
rugose,  with  a  line  of  stomata  sunk  in  depressions  at  the  base  of  the 
ridges  on  each  side.  Sheaths  usually  about  J  inch  long,  appearing 
truncate  by  the  scarious  part  of  the  teeth  separating  as  the  stem 
developes.  The  teeth  of  the  uppermost  sheath,  which  is  funnel-shaped 
and  embraces  the  base  of  the  spike,  are  always  persistent,  and  are 
slightly  rough  and  crisped  or  twisted.  Very  rarely  the  teeth  of  the 
stem-sheaths  are  persistent,  in  which  case  they  are  at  first  black,  but 
afterwards  become  hyaline.  Branches  rarely  produced.  I  possess 
but  a  single  specimen  which  has  a  branch  from  near  the  apex  of  the 
stem;  it  was  gathered  by  Mr.  Roy,  at  Banchory,  Kincardineshire. 
Spike  5  to  ^  inch  long. 

The  stems  survive  the  winter,  but  are  more  or  less  killed  at  the 
apices,  and  in  severe  winter  sometimes  down  to  the  ground. 

From  the  roughness  of  the  stems  caused  by  particles  of  silica,  they 
are  capable  of  being  used  "  as  a  file  in  polishing  wood,  ivory,  or  even 
brass.  This  purpose  it  has  long  served  in  England,  under  the  name 
of  Dutch  Rushes,  being  usually  imported  from  Holland."  (Sm.  Eng.

Stems  all  similar,  sub-evergreen,  usually  in  tufts  of  3  or  4  together 
from  each  node,  or  extremity  of  branch  of  the  rootstock,  rather 
slender,  with  a  central  hollow  of  about  half  its  diameter,  with 
8  to  15  ("to  23,"  Milde)  rather  shallow  furrows,  separated  by  sub- 
obtuse  ridges,  which  are  not  furrowed  on  the  back,  and  are  rough 
with  small  prominent  tubercles  arranged  in  one  stripe  on  each,  ridge, 
dull  dark  green.  Sheaths  cylindrical-funnel-shaped,  a  little  widened 
upwards,  pale  green,  at  first  concolorous,  then  with  a  black  band  at 
the  apex  and  afterwards  another  at  the  base,  ultimately  white  with 
a  black  band  at  the  base  and  a  narrower  one  at  the  apex ;  the  lowest 
ones  permanently  black ;  each  of  the  portions  of  the  sheath  which 
corresponds  to  one  of  the  teeth  with  a  narrow  shallow  furrow  down 
the  centre,  and  another  similar  furrow  on  each  side  between  the 
central  furrow  and  the  great  furrow  which  extends  (between  the  teeth) 
from  the  apex  to  the  base  of  the  sheath  ;  teeth  8  to  16,  triangular, 
acuminated  into  long  setaceous-subulate  straight  or  slightly  flexuous 
points,  which  are  wholly  scarious,  pitchy-black  with  narrow  paler 
margins  and  persist  until  the  stems  are  full  grown ;  but  in  the 
succeeding  winter  or  spring  many  of  them  fall  off  and  leave  the 
sheaths  truncate  and  crenate,  the  crenatures  corresponding  to  the 
bases  of  the  teeth.  B.^anches  absent,  or  very  rarely  produced,  solitary 
or  two  at  a  node,  resembling  the  stem  in  miniature,  with  the  first 
internode  much  shorter  than  the  stem-sheath  below  which  it  is  pro- 
duced ;  sheath  enclosing  the  first  internode  of  the  branch  pitchy- 
black,  shining,  oblique  ;  sheaths  at  the  apex  of  the  first  and  succeed- 
ing internodes  terminated  by  subulate  persistent  teeth.  Spike  oblong- 
ovoid,  acuminated  and  shortly  mucronate,  pitchy-black,  its  base 
embraced  by  the  teeth  of  the  uppermost  stem-sheath. 

On  wet  rocky  banks  and  on  open  sandhills,  very  rare.  "Sand- 
hills north  of  Courtown,  County  Wexford,  and  sandhills  near 
ArkAvell,    and  thence   northwards    in    many    places  along  the  coast

extending  to  near  Seamark  House,  County  Wicklow."  (A.  Gr.  More.) 
First  found  by  the  late  Dr.  D.  Moore,  1861,  on  wet  rocky  banks 
facing  the  sea,  and  on  open  ground  facing  Rochfield,  not  far  from 
Dunganstowu,  Wicklow,  Mr.  A.  Gr.  More  says,  the  plant  of  Dundrum 
Sandhills  "  should  probably  be  referred  to  E.  Moorei."  This 
would  extend  the  range  of  the  plant  to  County  Down. 

Ireland.     Perennial.     Autumn. 

Stems  1  to  2  feet  high,  from  the  thickness  of  a  stocking-wire  to  that 
of  a  crow-quill ;  sheaths  about  ^  inch  long  exclusive  of  the  teeth. 
Spike  j— |  of  an  inch  long. 

E.  Moorei  differs  from  E.  eu-hyemale  in  its  much  smaller  size,  more 
deeply  furrowed  stem  of  which  the  sheaths  are  slightly  widened 
upwards  and  have  the  teeth  persistent ;  the  points  of  the  teeth  are 
firmer  in  texture,  and  many  of  them  remain  attached  to  the  sheaths 
until  winter,  and  even  in  spring  may  be  found  on  stems  which  have 
not  been  killed  by  frost. 

One  of  the  characters  which  was  considered  distinctive  of  E.  Moorei, 
in  the  original  notice  of  it,  is  apparently  not  constant.  Dr.  D.  Moore 
writes  in  December,  1853,  "  The  stems  of  all  our  British  unbranched 
species  of  Equisetum  are  persistent,  remaining  green  throughout  the 
winter.  The  economy  of  the  plant  to  which  I  am  now  directing 
your  attention  is  the  reverse  of  this  :  the  stems  die  down  annually  " 
(Phytol.  1854,  p.  18).  I  have  cultivated  this  for  more  than  four  years 
from  roots  sent  me  by  Dr.  Moore,  and  I  find  that  they  are  scarcely 
more  tender  than  those  of  E.  eu-hyemale  grown  along  with  it ;  neither 
form  is  completely  evergreen,  being  more  or  less  killed  downwards 
from  the  top  according  to  the  severity  of  the  frost. 

Mr.  A.  Gr.  More,  writing  from  Glasnevin  in  May  1869,  says  that 
"  none  of  E.  Moorei  are  quite  dead,  nearly  all  are  green  §  up,"  and  in 
the  '  Journal  of  Botany  '  for  1868,  p.  253,  he  writes,  "  In  the  wild  state 
the  stems  are  not  strictly  deciduous,  for  in  sheltered  situations  among 
bushes  I  have  found  them  quite  green  and  fresh  even  so  late  as  in 
the  month  of  March  ;  and  if  on  the  open  sandhills  they  are  more  or 
less  withered,  I  believe  that  this  may  be  due  simply  to  exposure." 
Mr.  J.  Gr.  Baker  in  a  letter  says,  concerning  the  stems  of  E.  Moorei, 
"  They  are  just  the  same  in  texture  as  in  E.  hyemale,  but  perhaps — 
I  am  not  even  certain  as  to  that — cut  up  by  frost  rather  earlier." 

In  cultivation  at  Balmuto  it  has  remained  unchanged  ;  and  is  in 
habit  and  general  appearance  much  more  like  E.  trachyodon  than 
E.  eu-hyemale. 

According  to  Milde,  E.  paleaceum  (Schleicher)  which  is  the  oldest 
name,  is  to  be  rejected,  as  by  it  plants  quite  different  from  each  other 
are  intended  by  different  authors  and  even  by  Schleicher  himself. 
That  being  the  case,  Mr.  Newman's  name  Moorei  is  antecedent  to  the

Schleicheri  of  Milde,  and  the  name  Moorei  is  now  generally  used  in

Stems  all  similar,  completely  evergreen,  usually  several  together 
from  each  branch  of  the  rootstock,  rather  slender,  with  a  central 
hollow  about  one-third  of  its  diameter,  with  8  to  14  rather  shallow 
furrows  separated  by  acute-angled  ridges,  which  are  furrowed  on  the 
back,  and  are  rough  with  small  prominent  tubercles  arranged  in 
2  lines  on  each  ridge,  dull  dark  green.  Sheaths  shortly  cylindrical, 
closely  applied  to  the  stem,  at  first  green  and  concolorous,  then  with 
a  black  band  at  the  apex,  soon  becoming  wholly  black,  but  ultimately 
usually  having  a  narrow  whitish  ring  below  the  narrow  black  apical 
band  ;  each  of  the  portions  of  the  sheath  which  corresponds  to  one  of 
the  teeth  with  a  rather  broad  deep  furrow  in  the  centre,  and  another 
broad  shallow  rather  indistinct  furrow  on  each  side  between  the  central 
furrow  and  the  great  furrow  which  extends  between  the  teeth  from 
the  apex  to  the  base  of  the  sheath  ;  teeth  8  to  14,  triangular-subulate, 
gradually  acuminated  into  long  subulate-setaceous  straight  rough  firm 
persistent  points,  pitchy-black,  with  rather  narrow  paler  or  white 
scarious  margins,  furrowed  on  the  back,  persistent,  though  sometimes 
their  points  get  broken  off,  occasionally  becoming  nearly  wholly  white 
when  old.  Branches  absent,  or  rarely  produced  unless  the  main  stem 
be  injured,  and  then  solitary,  resembling  the  stem  in  miniature,  with 
its  first  internode  much  shorter  than  the  stem-sheath  below  which  it  is 
produced ;  sheath  enclosing  the  first  internode  of  the  branch,  pitchy- 
black,  shining,  irregularly  toothed  ;  sheath  at  the  apex  of  the  first  inter- 
node of  the  branch  terminated  by  ovate-triangular  apiculate  pitchy- 
black  teeth  without  furrows  on  the  back ;  the  succeeding  ones 
similar  to  those  on  the  main  stem,  pitchy  black.  Spike  oval-ovoid,

of  the  Dee,  at  intervals  of  6  or  7  miles  within  the  parish  of  Banchory- 
Ternan,  Kincardineshire,  the  Eev.  J.  M.  Brichan,  who  says,  "It 
appears  to  prefer  a  locality  where  water  oozing  from  the  bank  forms  a 
moist  green  spot,  or  finds  its  way  through  a  rent  made  by  the  river, 
or  a  channel  worn  by  itself.  The  water  where  E.  Mackaii  thus  fixes 
its  habitat,  is  generally,  if  not  invariably,  chalybeate."  (Phytol. 
1842,  p.  371.)  The  Aberdeen  botanists,  however,  do  not  seem  to 
have  observed  this  plant,  as  in  answer  to  inquiries  Dr.  Gr.  Dickie 
replied  in  Nov.  1874,  "  I  know  nothing  of  Equisetum  trachyodon 
in  this  quarter ;  Mr.  Roy  says  the  same."  Perhaps  some  form  of 
E.  hyemale  or  E.  variegatum,  both  of  which  certainly  grow  by  the 
Dee,  may  have  been  mistaken  for  E.  trachyodon,  but  Mr.  Brichan's 
description  appears  to  agree  best  with  the  true  plant.

Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.      Late  Summer  and  Autumn. 

Plant  erect,  or  more  or  less  decumbent,  1  to  2  feet  high,  from  the 
thickness  of  a  stocking-wire  to  that  of  a  crow-quill.  Sheaths  -§-  to 
^  inch  exclusive  of  the  teeth,  which  are  stiff  and  persistent ;  uppermost 
sheath  which  embraces  the  spike  funnel-shaped,  gradually  narrowed 
upwards,  with  lanceolate  teeth  having  broad  white  margins  and 
brown  scabrous  flexuous  points.  Spike  about  i  inch  long,  abruptly 
acuminated  into  a  short  mucro. 

Branches  are  much  more  frequently  produced  in  E.  trachyodon 
than  in  any  of  the  forms  of  E,  hyemale.  They  may  come  from 
any  part  of  the  stem,  and  sometimes  have  a  secondary  branch  from 
one  of  their  internodes.  In  the  '  Cybele  Hibernica'  it  is  stated  that 
"  after  a  series  of  careful  observations  made  in  Antrim,  Mr.  D.  Orr 
considers  that  the  normal  state  of  E.  trachyodon  is  the  unbranched 
form.  In  exposed  situations,  when  broken  by  the  wind  or  injured 
by  cattle,  the  stems  throw  out  lateral  shoots  from  near  the  point  of 
injury."     (Cyb.  Hib.  p.  365.) 

E.  trachyodon  is  very  similar  in  general  appearance  to  E.  Moorei, 
so  much  so  that  many  excellent  botanists  appear  to  have  mistaken 
the  one  for  the  other,  as  instanced  in  Rabenhorst's  published  fasciculi. 
In  E.  trachyodon,  however,  the  ridges  of  the  stem  are  not  rounded  on 


168  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

the  back,  but  slightly  grooved,  and  present  two  sharp  angles  towards 
the  furrows,  and  the  rough  points  with  which  they  are  furnished 
are  arranged  in  two  distinct  lines.  The  sculpture  of  the  sheaths  and 
teeth  is  different,  the  central  furrow  running  into  each  tooth  is  deeper, 
and  the  lateral  furrows  are  wider  and  shallower  than  in  E.  Moorei. 
The  points  of  the  teeth  are  firmer,  not  being  wholly  scarious,  but 
having  a  furrowed  rib  of  firm  tissue  running  along  them ;  this  rib 
is  of  a  pitchy-black  colour,  and  is  bordered  with  pale  or  whitish 
scarious  margins.  The  teeth  are  much  more  persistent ;  the  sheaths 
become  sooner  black  and  remain  much  longer  so,  not  assuming  a 
whitish  tinge  until  the  winter.  The  stems  are  completely  evergreen. 
I  have  not  found  it  injured  by  frost  since  1876,  when  I  received 
living  specimens  from  Mr.  S.  A.  Stewart,  of  Belfast,  which  have  grown 
in  the  open  ground  up  to  1881.

stout,  with  a  central  hollow  of  one-fifth  to  one-third  of  its  diameter, 
with  4  to  12  shallow  furrows  separated  by  subacute-angled  ridges, 
which  are  rough  with  small  prominent  tubercles  arranged  in  two 
lines  on  each  ridge  and  furrowed  on  the  back,  dull  dark  green. 
Sheaths  shortly  (rarely  longly)  cylindrical-turbinate,  yellowish-green, 
at  first  concolorous,  then  witli  a  black  band  at  the  apex  ultimately 
extending  downwards  until  nearly  the  whole  sheath  becomes  black, 
but  usually  without  a  black  band  at  the  base,  and  rarely  wholly  black, 
each  of  the  portions  of  the  sheath  which  corresponds  with  one  of  the 
teeth  with  a  rather  broad  deep  furrow  in  the  centre,  and  another 
broad  shallow  rather  indistinct  furrow  on  each  side  between  the 
central  furrow  and  the  great  furrow  which  extends  between  the  teeth 
from  the  apex  to  the  base  of  the  sheath ;  teeth  4  to  12,  triangular- 
lanceolate  or  triangular-ovate,  abruptly  or  rather  abruptly  acu- 
minated into  setaceous  straight  rough  firm  mostly  caducous  points, 
pitchy-black  with  broad  white  scarious  margins,  furrowed  on  the 
back,  persistent,  though  generally  their  points  either  fall  or  get 
broken  off,  occasionally  becoming  nearly  wholly  white  when  old. 
Branches    rarely  produced   unless   the    main   stem  has    been  injured

and  then  solitary  or  in  pairs,  resembling  the  stem  in  miniature,  with 
the  first  internode  much  shorter  than  the  stem-sheath,  below  which  it 
is  produced ;  sheath  enclosing  the  first  internode  of  the  branch, 
pitchy-black,  shining,  irregularly  toothed  ;  sheath  at  the  apex  of  the 
first  and  succeeding  internodes  of  the  branch  terminated  by  ovate- 
triangular  apiculate  pitchy-black  teeth  without  furrows  on  the 
back  ;  the  succeeding  ones  similar  to  those  on  the  main  stem.  Spike 
oblong-  or  oval-ovoid,  abruptly  acuminated  and  mucronate,  pitchy- 
black,  its  base  usually  embraced  by  the  teeth  of  the  uppermost  stem- 
sheath.

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Late  Summer,  Autumn. 

A  very  variable  plant,  with  stems  from  3  or  4  inches  to  2  feet  long, 
and  from  the  thickness  of  a  darning-needle  to  that  of  a  crow-quill  or 
more ;  they  are  generally  more  or  less  decumbent,  especially  when 
growing  on  sandhills ;  usually  they  are  unbranched,  but  I  have 
specimens  from  Wallasey  sandhills  upon  which  there  are  branches 
from  many  of  the  internodes ;  these  branches  are  either  solitary  or  in 
pairs,  and  in  the  latter  case  opposite,  or  very  rarely  on  the  same  side 
of  the  stem.  The  branches  occasionally  terminate  in  spikes,  and 
indeed  seem  to  be  more  like  secondary  stems  than  anything  else. 
The  sheaths  vary  considerably  in  length  and  in  colour,  but  are  always 
enlarged  upwards,  and  then  again  slightly  contracted  ;  the  teeth  are 
also  very  variable,  even  in  specimens  from  the  same  locality ;  they 
are  usually  rather  short  and  blunt,  with  broad  white  margins,  and 
are  generally  abruptly  acuminated  into  a  long  white  setaceous  point, 
which  either  falls  off  or  is  very  liable  to  be  broken  off.  Among  the 
specimens  I  have  from  TVallasey  sandhills,  collected  by  Mr.  H.  S. 
Fisher  in  1871,  there  are  some  in  which  the  teeth  of  the  sheaths  are 
triangular  and  gradually  acuminated  into  subulate  points,  and  have 
only  narrow  white. margins,  though  others  collected  at  the  same  place 
and  at  the  same  date  have  teeth  of  the  ordinary  form. 

Yar.  /3  scarcely  appears  to  pass  insensibly  into  the  ordinary  form. 
The  plant  from  the  Dublin  Canal  I  have  cultivated  for  about  five 
years  from  roots  sent  me  by  the  late  Dr.  D.  Moore ;  these  have 
remained  stouter  and  more  erect  than  those  of  var.  genuinum  grown 
beside  them,  and  divide  below  ground,  while  in  var.  a  the  stems  come 
in  tufts  from  the  branches  of  the  rootstock  above  ground ;  the 
stems,  however,  do  not  exceed  1  foot  high,  while  in  the  Dublin  Canal 
they  are  twice  as  long,  probably  growing  more  luxuriantly  from  being 
in  the  water.  The  plants  from  the  banks  of  the  Dee,  Kincardine- 
shire, are  intermediate  between  the  Dublin  Canal  plant  and  the  var. 
genuinum,  but  they  have  longer  teeth  and  blacker  sheaths.  Specimens 
from  the  bridge  of  Potarch,  Kincardineshire,  collected  by  Mr.  J.  Sim 
in  1871,  have  stout  stems,  with  short  almost  wholly  black  sheaths,  and 


EQUISETACE^E.  171 

lanceolate-subulate  gradually-acuminate  teeth,  having  rather  narrow 
scarious  margins ;  this  form  may  be  the  var.  pseudo-elongatum  of 
Milde. 

I  have  been  unable  to  procure  specimens  of  the  Killarney  plant,  on 
which  the  var.  Wilsoni  was  originally  founded.  It  seems  to  be  a  much 
larger  plant  than  the  Dublin  Canal  one.  Mr.  Newman  describes  a 
stem  which  he  believes  to  be  of  average  size,  and  says  it  is  38  inches 
long,  one-third  of  which  was  submerged,  and  from  his  figure  of  it,  it 
must  have  been  as  thick  as  a  goose-quill.  He  considers  the  average 
number  of  furrows  as  10,  "  the  ridges  between  them  being  broad,  as  in 
the  common  form,  but  the  silicious  particles  are  far  less  prominent,  so 
that  the  plant  does  not  partake  of  that  asperity  which  so  eminently 
characterises  E.  hyemale,  E.  Mackaii,  and  the  more  usual  forms  of 
E.  variegatum,  but  has  a  smoother  feel  like  that  of  E.  palustre.  .  .  .  The 
sheaths  are  scarcely  larger  than  the  stem,  with  which,  in  dried  speci- 
mens, they  appear  perfectly  concolorous,  with  the  exception  of  a 
narrow  sinuous  black  band  at  the  summit  of  each."  (Brit.  Ferns, 
ed.  ii.  pp.  39,  40.)  Mr.  Newman  considered  that  the  Mucruss  plant 
was  not  the  same  as  that  from  the  Dublin  Canal  and  Kincardineshire. 

E.  variegatum,  or  at  least  the  stouter  forms  of  it,  is  liable  to  be  con- 
founded with  E.  trachyodon,  but  the  sheaths  of  the  latter  are  cylin- 
drical and  closely  applied  to  the  stem,  and  they  have  long  subulate, 
rather  rigid  teeth.  In  E.  variegatum  the  sheaths  widen  upwards,  and 
then  contract ;  the  teeth  are  considerably  shorter  than  in  E.  trachy- 
odon, even  in  those  cases  in  which  they  are  gradually  acuminated. 
It  is  very  rarely  that  the  whole  sheath  becomes  black,  as  they  so 
commonly  do  in  E.  trachyodon. 

Small  forms  of  E.  palustre  have  sometimes  been  mistaken  for 
E.  variegatum,  but  that  plant  has  the  stem-ridges  without  a  furrow 
on  their  back,  and  without  the  two  distinct  rows  of  silicious  tubercles 
on  the  ridges,  which  like  the  spaces  between  them,  are  only  trans- 
versely rugose ;  the  furrows  of  the  sheaths  which  correspond  to  the 
divisions  between  the  teeth  are  deeper,  and  the  portion  between  these 
furrows  more  convex  and  without  a  central  furrow  until  near  the 
apex,  while  the  lateral  furrows,  which  are  distinct  in  E.  variegatum, 
are  wanting  in  E.  palustre  ;  the  teeth  of  the  sheaths  in  E.  variegatum 
are  usually  much  longer  and  sharper  than  in  E.  palustre,  and  the 
spike  of  the  latter  is  not  apiculate  or  mucronate. 

The  stems  of  E.  variegatum  are  completely  evergreen,  and  the 
spikes  more  frequently  survive  the  winter  in  this  than  in  the  other 
Equiseta  hyemalia,  although  it  occasionally  happens  to  them  all ; 
when  it  does  so,  the  spike  in  spring  becomes  slightly  exserted  and 
paler  in  colour. 

It  seems  probable  that  under  the  name  E.  hyemale,  Linna3us 
included  not  only  the  plant  usually  called  E.  hyemale  by  modern 
botanists,  but  also  all  the  forms  of  the  Equiseta  hyemalia  (the 
section  Hippochsete,  Milde).      The    same    view  was    taken    by   Mr. 


172  ENGLISH    BOTANY, 

Newman  in  1842,  in  which  year  he  published  descriptions  of  the 
British  Equiseta  in  the  '  Phytologist,'  though  in  the  2nd  edition  of  his 
'  British  Ferns,'  published  in  1844,  he  described  E.  Mackaii  (E.  trachy- 
odon)  and  E.  variegatum  as  distinct  from  E.  hyemale  ;  but  he  marked 
the  names  of  these  species  with  a  dagger,  thus  indicating  they  were 
"  species  whose  distinctness  I  do  not  consider  to  be  at  present  clearly 
proved."  Dr.  Stenzel,  in  Cohn's  *  Kryptogamen  Fl.  von  Schlesien,' 
includes  under  E.  hyemale  as  subspecies  E.  ramosissimum,  Desf.,  E. 
hyemale  genuinum  with  its  var.  Schleicheri  (Moorei)  and  E.  variega- 
tum, Schleicher ;  and  certainly  all  these  forms  pass  so  insensibly  into 
each  other,  that  I  feel  much  inclined  to  follow  his  example.  Still 
there  seem  sufficient  differences  to  divide  the  subdeciduous  E.  hyemale 
with  its  form  Moorei  from  the  truly  evergreen  British  Equiseta.  E. 
trachyodon  should  probably  be  considered  as  but  a  subspecies  of 
E.  variegatum,  but  I  think  it  is  more  than  a  variety  ;  the  living  plant 
looks  much  more  distinct  from  the  forms  of  E.  variegatum  than  do 
dried  specimens.

Said  by  Schkuhr  to  grow  in  Wales,  but  no  authority  is  given. 
This  is  the  plant  now  generally  called  E.  ramosissimum,  Desf. 
It  occurs  in  the  West  of  France,  as  far  north  as  the  valley  of  the 
Loire,  and  may  possibly  occur  in  Britain,  as  it  might  be  passed  as 
a  form  of  E.  variegatum.  I  have  seen  no  Welsh  specimens  of 
E.  variegatum,  though  it  is  reported  from  Carnarvon.

CLASS  II.-OELLULARES. 

Perennial  or  more  rarely  annual  herbs  which  have  a  stem  composed 
wholly  of  cellular  tissue,  producing  adventitious  roots  and  usually 
leaves  or  branches,  more  rarely  reduced  to  that  combination  of 
stem  and  leaf  termed  a  thallus,  as  in  the  Class  III.  (Thallophyta). 
Spores  produced  after  fertilisation  of  the  archegonia  by  the 
antherozoids,  either  solitary  within  a  spirally  marked  indehiscent 
nucule,  or  numerous  and  contained  in  a  spore  case  {capsule  or  sporo- 
gonium),  which  is  usually  elevated  on  a  stalk.  Antherozoids  con- 
tained in  the  cells  of  coiled  filaments  or  oblong  vesicles,  and  dis- 
charged by  the  rupture  of  the  cells. 

ORDER  XCYL— CHAR  ACE  JE.* 

Aquatic   annual  or  perennial   herbs    having   branched   stems,  of 
which  the  internodes  consist  of  a  single  large  cell,  which  is  either 
naked  or  covered  by  a  layer  of  slender  parallel  cortical-cells,  and 
frequently  coated  with  a  deposit  of  carbonate  of  lime.     Stems  fur- 
nished at  the  nodes  with  whorls  of  branchlets  (leaves  of  many  authors). 
At  the  base  of  the  verticillate  branchlets  there  are  in  many  species 
two  or  more  whorls,  rarely  only  one  whorl  of  stipule-cells  (involucral 
spines,  Babington — stipulodes  of  Messrs.  Arthur  Bennett  and  H.  and  J. 
Groves).     Branchlets  simple,  or  one  or  more  times  forked  into  rays, 
or  with  partial  or    rarely  complete  whorls  of  secondary  branchlets 
(bracts).     Male  and  female  organs  developed  at  the  extremity  of  the 
branchlets,  or  at  their  nodes  in  the  axils  of  the  bracts.     Male  organs 
{globules)  spherical,  at  first  green,  afterwards  red  or  yellowish,  con- 
sisting of  8  plates  or  shields,  on  the  inside  of  each  of  which  there  is  a 
central  projecting  cell,  termed  the  manubrium,  terminated  by  a  globular 
cell,  called'  the  capitulum,  or  head,  which  produces  6  secondary  capi- 
tula,  or  heads,  from  each  of  which  proceed  four  long  coiled  filaments 
divided   transversely  into  very  numerous  cells,  in  each  of  which  is 
formed  a  biciliated  antherozoid.     Female  organs  (nucules)  subglobular 
or  ovoid  or  fusiform,  reddish-yellow  or  olive,  consisting  of  a  nucleus 

*  In  the  general  arrangement  and  nomenclature  of  the  species  of  this  Order,  I  have 
followed  the  eighth  edition  of  Babington's  '  Manual  of  British  Botany,'  pp.  468  and 
473.  The  admirable  papers  of  Messrs.  H.  and  J.  Groves  in  '  Journal  of  Botany,'  1880, 
have  given  me  much  assistance,  especially  by  quoting  synonyms  from  works  to  which  I 
had  not  access,  and  giving  the  localities,  so  far  as  known,  in  which  the  species  occur.

coated  with  five  cells  coiled  spirally  round  it,  terminated  by  a  coronula, 
or  crown,  of  5  prominent  cells  in  1  row,  or  of  10  less  prominent  ones 
in  two  superposed  rows.  The  apical  cell  of  the  nucleus  is  fertilised 
by  the  antherozoids ;  ultimately  the  nucule  falls  and  germinates, 
[producing  two  shoots,  one  of  which  descends  into  the  soil,  produces 
root-hairs,  and  remains  colourless,  constituting  the  primary  rhizoid; 
the  other  shoot  ascends,  and  soon  develops  chlorophyll ;  its  longi- 
tudinal growth  is  limited  to  a  few  cells,  but  at  about  its  middle  or 
below,  a  bud  is  formed,  from  which  the  perfect  plant  is  developed  : 
sometimes  two  or  more  rhizoids,  and  two  chlorophyll-bearing  shoots 
are  produced  from  the  same  nucule.  See  Plate  1905,  and  A.  de  Bary

Monoecious.  Dull  dark  green  or  olive.  Stern  slender,  translucent, 
without  cortical  cells  or  spine-cells  or  stipule-cells.  Branchlets 
usually  6  (more  rarely  7  or  8)  in  a  whorl,  forked  or  more  rarely 
trind,  with  acute  but  not  mucronate  1  -  celled  points  and  rays.

rarely  in  pairs,  produced  at  the  angle  between  the  rays  of  the 
branchlets,  without  bracts,  accompanied  by  a  globule,  which  is  placed 
above  them,  subglobular-ovoid,  7-  or  8-striate  ("  8-  or  9-striate," 
Groves),  with  a  minute  deciduous  crown.  In  ponds  and  pools  and

*  [The  title-page  of  this  volume  runs  thus  : — "  Kongl.  Vetenskaps-Akademiens  nya 
Handlingar  for  ar,  1852.  Stockholm,  1854."  Bat  Wallman's  paper  on  Characeae  was 
presented  to  the  Society  in  April  1853,  and  a  separately  paged  extract  of  it  was 
published  in  1853,  therefore,  although  it  has  been  thought  advisable  to  quote  the 
volume  as  for  1854  (the  volumes  of  this  Journal  not  being  numbered),  the  real  date 
of  publication  of  Wallman's  monograph  is  1853.  A  French  translation  by 
Dr.  Nylander  was  published  in  1854.]

I  have  seen  neither  Scotch  nor  Irish  specimens,  but  Professor 
Babington  and  Messrs.  Groves  have  it  from  both  these  countries. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer. 

Stems  slender,  flexible,  6  to  18  inches  long  or  more;  "often 
annularly  encrusted"  (Groves).  Branchlets  J  inch  to  2  inches  long  ; 
nucules  minute,  yellowish,  ultimately  black. 

[The  variety  crassa  (Braun,  Rabenh.  and  Stiz.  Exsicc.  No.  101), 
distinguished  from  the  type  by  its  greater  stoutness  and  shorter 
terminal  segments ;  and  variety  nidifica  (Wallm.  in  Kongl.  Yet.  Akad. 
Handl.  Stockh.,  1854,  p.  262),  which  has  the  sterile  branchlets  often 
simple,  and  the  fertile  branchlets  very  short  and  collected  into  com- 
pact heads ; — are  stated  by  Messrs.  H.  and  J.  Groves  (Journ.  of  Bot., 
1883,  p.  22),  both  to  have  been  found  in  Perthshire;  the  former  in 
Watson  Loch,  Doune,  and  Marlee  Loch ;  the  latter  in  Marlee  Loch.] 

There  can  be  little  doubt  that  the  name  "  flexilis "  was  intended  by  Linnaeus  to 
include  under  it  other  forms  besides  the  present,  and  it  would  have  been  much  better 
to  have  adopted  some  later  but  more  specially  applied  name  ;  but  "  flexilis  "  is  now  in 
general  use,  so  that  little  confusion  is  likely  to  occur.

Dioecious.  Bright  green  or  olive.  Stem  slender,  translucent,  with- 
out cortical  cells  or  spine-cells  or  stipule-cells.  Branchlets  usually  6 
(more  rarely  7  or  8)  in  a  whorl;  those  of  the  primary  whorls  in  the 
male  plant  elongated  and  forked  or  trifid,  in  the  female  simple,  forked 
or  trifid,  with  acute  but  not  mucronate  1-celled  rays.  Primary 
whorls  always  lax ;  those  of  the  secondary  whorls  usually  more 
compact,  and  in  the  female  plant  always  so,  often  so  short  as  to  appear 
capitate.  Nucules  2  or  3,  rarely  4,  at  the  middle  of  the  simple 
branchlets,  or  in  the  angle  between  the  rays  when  they  are  forked, 
without  bracts,  subglobular-ovoid,  5-  or  6-  (rarely  7-)  striate,  with  a 
minute  deciduous  crown.  Globules  at  the  angle  between  the  rays  of 
the  branchlets.

Var.  j3. — Professor  A.  Braun  referred  to  this  var.  specimens  in 
the  Kew  Herbarium,  from  Kent ;  Llyn  Idwal,  Carnarvon ;  and 
Killarney,  Kerry. 

Yar.  y.  —  Common  and  generally  distributed  in  England  and 
Scotland,  in  which  it  is  known  to  occur  northwards  to  Caithness  and 
Orkney.     From  south  to  north  of  Ireland. 

England,  Ireland,  and  Scotland.     Annual  or  perennial. 
Spring  and  "Summer." 

The  var.  opaca,  which  is  considered  a  distinct  species  by  Braun 
and  others,  is  a  variable  plant  6  inches  to  2  feet  long,  the  branchlets 
^  to  2  inches  long ;  both  in  the  male  and  female  plant,  but  especially 
in  the  latter,  the  fertile  branches  are  usually  so  short  that  the  globules 
and  nucules  seem  to  be  produced  in  heads,  though  occasionally  two  or 
three  nucules  may  be  found  at  the  forks  of  elongate  branches.  The 
colour  of  the  plant  is  usually  dull  olive,  sometimes  dark  olive,  and  it 
not  unfrequently  has  the  stem  coated  with  carbonate  of  lime,  generally 
in  rings,  but  sometimes  continuously.  It  is  so  like  N.  flexilis  that  in 
a  barren  state  it  is  extremely  difficult,  sometimes  impossible,  to  dis- 
criminate between  them,  as  the  fact  of  the  latter  being  monoecious  is 
not  then  observable.  I  have  little  doubt  that  the  two  ought  to  be 
considered  as  at  best  but  subspecies. 

The  typical  N.  syncarpa  and  N.  capitata  are  both  usually  more 
slender  and  of  a  brighter  green  colour  than  N.  opaca  ;  the  heads  are 
smaller,  and  the  nucules  and  globules  are  described  as  surrounded  by 
mucilage,  a  character  which  is  not  easily  distinguishable  in  dried 
specimens  [unless  held  obliquely  to  the  light  and  viewed  under  a 
lens]. 

According  to  Cosson  and  Germain,  N.  syncarpa  (genuina)  germinates 
in  spring  and  fruits  in  the  end  of  summer  or  autumn ;  N.  capitata 
germinates  in  autumn  and  fruits  in  spring;  while  N.  opaca  fruits 
from  May  to  July.  In  the  pond  at  Balmuto  it  fruited  in  April  and 
appeared  to  be  perennial.  In  an  aquarium  globe  it  lived  two  years, 
but  never  fruited. 

[Of  Ch.  syncarpa,  Thuill.,  there  exists  in  the  Kew  Herbarium  an 
authentic  specimen  from  Thuillier,  obtained  from  Gay's  Herbarium,, 
labelled  "  Chara  syncarpa,  Thuill.  Fl.  Par.  473.  Lois.  Fl.  Gall.  II. 
p.  623.— Thuillier  1812."  Wallroth,  who  saw  this  specimen  in  1828,. 
named  it  "Chara  flexilis,  L. ; "  and  A.  Braun  in  Sept.  1834  has 
labelled  it "  Chara  syncarpa,  Thuill.  (specimen  ab  auctore  !  )  apices  foli- 
orum  a  forma  communi  paulo  recedunt  (Ch.  syncarpa  pseudoflexilis)." 
An  examination  of  this  specimen  shows  that  it  is  somewhat  inter- 
mediate in  character  between  the  plants  now  called  N.  syncarpa  and 
N.  opaca,  having  more  the  appearance  and  dark  colour  of  some  states 
of  N.  opaca-;  the  specimen  is  female,  and  the  branchlets  are  simple, 


180  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

no  traces  of  mucilage,  so  characteristic  of  N.  syncarpa,  are  visible  on 
the  globules  and  nucules,  and  the  spiral  ridges  on  the  nucleus  of  the 
nucules  are  less  prominent  and  acute  than  in  N.  opaca,  and  more  so  than 
in  N.  syncarpa,  though  no  doubt  this  is  a  variable  character,  and  one 
which  Messrs.  Groves  seem  to  have  misunderstood,  as  they  describe 
the  nucules  (under  N.  capitata)  as  having  "  sharp  prominent  cells," 
but  the  spiral  cells  of  the  nucules  are  not  more  prominent  in  N.  capitata 
than  in  N.  syncarpa,  and  are  not  sharp,  but  rounded  as  in  other 
Characea3  ;  the  terms  oxygyra,  pachygyirt,  &c.  used  by  A.  Braun, 
refer  to  the  ridges  on  the  nucleus  between  the  spiral  cells,  which 
correspond  to  the  strias  on  the  surface  of  the  nucule,  and  are  not 
cells,  but  merely  thickened  portions  of  cell-walls.  Of  the  specimens 
at  Kew  referred  by  Braun  to  N.  capitata,  the  Llyn  Idwel  plant 
(C.  gracilis,  Wilson  in  Hook.  Bot.  Miscell.  vol.  i.  p.  336  ;  not  of  Sm.) 
has  traces  of  mucilage,  and  seems  rather  to  belong  to  N.  syncarpa,  as 
the  nucleus  of  the  nucule  is  broader,  and  the  ridges  on  it  are  not 
nearly  so  prominent  and  sharp  as  in  typical  N.  capitata  ;  the  Kent 
specimen  has  no  mucilage,  and  is  simply  the  ordinary  N.  opaca, 
which  is  doubtless  but  a  sexual  state  of  N.  flexilis,  for  taking  the 
whole  of  the  forms  of  N.  flexilis  and  N.  opaca  there  is  nothing  to 
distinguish  the  two  but  sex,  which  is  not  a  specific  character,  and 
N.  flexilis  may  be  regarded  as  a  polygamous  species,  with  male, 
female,  and  hermaphrodite  plants.  The  Killarney  specimens  in  size 
and  general  appearance  resemble  the  Llyn  Idwel  plant,  but  there  are 
no  traces  of  mucilage  on  them,  and  except  in  being  smaller  are  not 
distinguishable  from  some  specimens  collected  at  Lyndhurst,  and 
distributed  by  Messrs.  Groves  as  N.  opaca  (Xo.  86).  N.  opaca  var. 
attenuata  described  by  Messrs.  Grroves  in  Jour.  Bot.  1881,  p.  356,  is 
a  striking  form  found  at  Hythe,  S.  Hants,  with  long  and  very  slender 
branchlets,  but  still  is  evidently  only  a  slender  state  of  their 
Lyndhurst  plant,  and  except  that  there  is  no  mucilage  on  the  globules 
and  nucules,  it  is  identical  with  N.  syncarpa  of  Nordstedt  and 
Wahlsted's  Char.  Scand.  Exsicc.  No.  2  (a  form  well  figured  in  Reichen- 
bach's  Iconographia,  vol.  viii.  pi.  798),  which  fact  would  seem  to  imply 
that  the  presence  or  absence  of  mucilage  is  of  doubtful  value  as  a 
specific  character. — N.  E.  B.]

Monoecious.  Bright  shining  green.  Stem  rather  stout,  pellucid, 
without  cortical  cells  or  spine-cells  or  stipule-cells.  Branchlets  4  to  8 
in  a  whorl ;  those  of  the  primary  whorls  barren,  elongated,  rather  stout, 
obtuse,  simple,  or  with  1  or  more  terminal  rays,  so  short  that  they 
are  reduced  to  little  more  than  points,  some  of  them  elongated  and 
bearing  secondary  fertile  whorls,  with  extremely  short  trifid  branches, 
giving  the  appearance  of  forming  small  heads  or  interrupted  spikes. 
Nucules  2  to  3,  immediately  below  the  3  rays  of  the  fertile  branchlets, 
subglobular-ovoid,  5-  to  7-striate,  with  a  minute  deciduous  crown. 
Globules  solitary,  terminating  the  fertile  branch,  and  surrounded  by 
its  3  short  rays  immediately  above  the  nucules. 

In  stagnant  water,  but  usually  where  there  is  considerable  depth, 
rarely  in  streams.  Rather  rare,  but  occurring  in  many  places  in  the 
south  of  England  ;  rare  in  Scotland,  where  it  occurs  in  Lochnaw, 
Wigtonshire  ;  neighbourhood  of  Edinburgh  ;  Kinghorn,  Fife  ;  Loch 
Leven,  Kinross  ;  Loch  Lubnaig,  Perthshire ;  Loch  of  Drum,  Aberdeen- 
shire. In  Ireland  it  is  reported  from  Kerry,  Gralway,  Antrim,  and 
Deny. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer. 

N.  translucens  is  perhaps  the  finest  of  the  British  Characese  from 
the  bright  green  colour  and  large  size,  being  1  to  4  feet  long  or  more, 
with  much  stouter  stems  than  any  of  the  other  Nitellae.  It  is  well  dis- 
tinguished by  the  rays  of  the  barren  branchlets  being  so  reduced  as  to 
form  mere  papillae  at  the  end  of  those  branches  where  they  occur. 
The  fertile  whorls  are  so  reduced  that  they  look  something  like 
the  spikes  of  Potamogeton  pusillus.

Monoecious.  Green  or  olive.  Stem  rather  slender,  translucent, 
without  cortical  cells  or  spine-cells  or  stipule-cells.  Branchlets 
4  to  8  in  a  whorl,  slender,  most  of  them  2  or  4  times  bi-  or  tri-  or 
quadrifurcate  ;  the  ultimate  divisions  shorter  than  the  lower,  often 
of  2  cells  and  sharply  mucronate ;  those  of  the  primary  whorls 
rather  lax  and  with  elongated  segments ;  those  of  the  secondary 
whorls  similar  or  short,  sometimes  so  much  so  as  to  give  the  ap- 
pearance of  forming  heads.  Nucules  solitary,  immediately  below  the

G-striate,  with  a  minute  deciduous  crown.  Globules  solitary  between

In  still  water,  very  rare  ;  marsh  ditch  at  West  Grinstead,  Sussex, 
(Mr.  Borrer)  ;  water-hole  by  the  River  Ouse,  near  Bedford  (A.  H.

England.     Annual.     Summer,  Autumn. 


ClIARACE^.  183 

Stems  6  inches  to  1  foot  long ;  primary  branches  J  to  2  inches  long. 
N.  mucronata  has  sometimes  much  the  habit  of  N.  flexilis,  but  may  be 
distinguished  by  its  more  divided  branches,  of  which  the  ultimate  rays 
are  often  2-celled  and  tipped  with  a  small  conical  cell  or  mucro. 

I  have  not  seen  Mr.  Borrer's  specimens  of  this  plant,  but  Messrs. 
Groves  state  that  it  is  near  the  var.  heteromorpha,  Braun  [figured  in 
Bischoff,  Handb.  Bot.  Term,  und  Syst.  t.  57,  f.  2811],  and  this  is  shown 
by  the  figure  they  give  of  it,  which  was  drawn  from  Mr.  Borrer's 
specimen.  Yar.  neteromorpha  is  the  name  given  to  the  form  in 
which  the  secondary  whorls  are  contracted,  and  not  lax  like  the 
primary  ones.

184  EXGLTSO    BOTANY. 

In  boggy  pools  and  ditches,  very  rare. 

In  St.  Leonard's  Forest,  Sussex,  found  by  Mr.  Borrer,  from  which 
station  it  was  described  by  Smith.  Messrs.  Groves  state  that  "  it  has 
since  been  collected  by  Mr.  D.  Or,  at  Glen  Cullen,  near  Ballybetagh, 
co.  Dublin,"  by  Mr.  Nicholson,  at  Kingston,  Surrey ;  and  by 
Mr.  Beck  with,  in  Shropshire. 

England,  Ireland.     Annual.     Autumn. 

A  very  delicate  plant,  usually  3  to  6  inches  long ;  but  the  form 
elongata  of  Braun,  Rabenh.  and  Stiz.  Char.  No.  58  is  more  than  a  foot. 
Rays  of  the  primary  whorls  i  to  J  inch  long,  much  divided,  with  the 
segments  as  delicate  as  the  filaments  of  a  Conferva  ;  secondary  whorls 
similar,  but  shorter.  Sometimes,  however,  the  plant  has  thicker  stems 
and  branchlets,  and  the  secondary  whorls  much  denser,  as  in  the  form 
bugellensis,  Braun,  Rabenh.  and  Stiz.  Char.  No.  25,  which  seems  to  me 
to'come  very  near  Nitella  mucronata,  var.  8.  17  of  the  same  set,  and  to 
be  dissimilar  to  the  typical  and  elongated  states  represented  t>y  Nos.  24, 
57  and  58.  I  have  seen  neither  English  nor  Irish  specimens ;  the 
Irish  is  described  by  Messrs.  Groves  as  a  "  smaller,  stouter  form,  and 
the  ultimate  rays  are  shorter,  and  it  is  annularly  incrusted."  Messrs. 
Groves  describe  the  nucules  "as  6-  or  7-striate,"  but  those  I  have 
examined  have  been  mostly  7-striate.  Coss.  and  Germ,  say  they  are 
with  4  or  5  strise,  and  that  the  fructification  takes  place  in  April  and 
May  and  in  autumn.

CHARACE.E,  185 

Monoecious.  Dark  green.  Stems  capillary,  pellucid,  without 
cortical  cells  or  spine-cells  or  stipule-cells.  Branclilets  5  to  8  in  a 
whorl,  most  of  them  3  to  7  times  bi-  or  tri-furcate,  the  ultimate 
divisions  longer  than  the  lower,  2-celled  and  longly  mucronate,  those 
of  all  the  whorls  very  compact  with  short  segments,  so  that  the  whorls 
resemble  widely  separated  heads  which  are  mucilaginous  and  generally 
encrusted.  Nucules  solitary  immediately  below  all  the  forks  of  the 
rays  of  the  branches,  ovoid,  7-  to  9-striate  with  a  very  minute 
deciduous  crown.  Globules  solitary  between  the  forks  of  the 
branchlets  immediately  above  the  nucules. 

In  fen  ditches  and  pits,  very  rare.  In  Roydon  Fen,  Norfolk ; 
Bottisham,  Wicken,  and  Burwell  Fens,  Cambridgeshire ;  Anglesea, 
(J.  E.  Griffith) ;  first  found  by  Professor  Henslow  in  1829. 

England,  Wales.     Annual.     Summer,  Autumn. 

A  very  elegant  species,  usually  2  to  3  inches  high,  primary  branches 
-j^  to  -^  inch  long,  whorls  usually  \  to  ^  inch  apart,  but  sometimes  less. 

I  have  a  fine  series  of  specimens  of  this,  collected  in  Burwell  Fen  by 
Dr.  J.  A.  Power,  and  one  from  Bottisham  Fen  collected  by  Mr.  C.  A. 
Stevens  in  May,  1838. 

N.  tenuissima  comes  near  to  N.  gracilis,  but  is  much  smaller, 
and  very  different  in  appearance  from  the  extreme  shortness  of  the 
branches,  though  it  is  difficult  to  find  any  marked  distinction  between 
them.  The  terminal  or  mucro  cell  of  the  ultimate  rays  of  the  branch- 
let  is  longer  in  proportion  and  more  gradually  tapering  than  in  N. 
gracilis. 

Dwarf  Nitella. 

Section  II.— TOLYPELLA.     A.  Braun. 

Globules  on  the  inner  side  of  and  at  the  first  node  of  branchlets, 
accompanied  by  2  to  4  bracts,  similar  to  the  branchlet  but  shorter 
and  generally  unequal.     Nucules  surrounding  the  globule. 


SPECIES  VII.— N ITELLA    GLOMERATA.     CkevaUier.

Monoecious  (or  rarely  dioecious  ?).  Pale  or  dark  olive.  Stem  rather 
stout,  transparent  or  much  more  commonly  opaque  from  being  thickly 
encrusted  with  carbonate  of  lime,  without  cortical  cells  or  spine-cells 
or  stipule-cells.     Branchlets  6  to  12  in  a  whorl,  those  of  the  primary

whorls  sterile,  of  3  to  5  cells,  obtuse,  unbranched  ;  fertile  whorls  ter- 
minating the  stems,  and  primary  and  secondary  branches,  forming 
rather  large,  oblong-ovoid  or  oval-ovoid  heads  consisting  of  the  nume- 
rous branchlets  and  incurved  bracts ;  branchlets  3-  to  5-celled,  obtuse, 
bearing  at  the  first  node  3  or  4  lateral  bracts,  each  bract  of  3  or  4 
cells,  obtuse,  similar  to  the  terminal  portion  of  the  branchlet,  but 
shorter  and  incurved  over  the  nucules  and  globule.  Nucules  2  to  5 
together,  at  the  nodes  of  the  fertile  branchlets,  between  the  bracts, 
oval-ovoid,  8-  to  9-striate,  with  a  minute  deciduous  crown.  Grlobules 
solitary,  lateral  on  the  inner  side  of  the  fertile  branches  between  the 
bracts,  surrounded  by  the  nucules.

Middlesex,  Essex,  Norfolk,  Cambridgeshire,  Lancashire,  Huntingdon- 
shire, Yorkshire,  Anglesea,  Forfarshire,  and  near  Dublin.  Originally 
found  near  Cley,  Norfolk,  by  Mr.  Dawson  Turner,  and  Mr.  Borrer,  in 
1806.  Yar.  j3  at  Lancing,  Sussex,  in  1804-5,  by  Mr.  Borrer,  who 
says  [Suppl.  to  Engl.  Bot.  1834,  Yol.  II.,  under  No.  2762]  it  was 
found  in  a  ditch  "  which  I  believe  the  tide  never  reaches." 

England,  Wales,  Scotland,  and  Ireland.     Annual,  perennial. 
Spring,  early  Summer. 

Stems  much  branched,  very  brittle,  light  or  dark  olive,  and  trans- 
parent when  not  coated  with  carbonate  of  lime,  as  is  generally  the 
case,  3  inches  to  1  foot  long  ;  barren  branchlets  §  to  2  inches  long. 
Fertile  heads  about  J  inch  long  by  ^  inch  across.  [The  nucules 
sometimes  have  the  spiral  investing  cells  prolonged  above  the  nucleus 
or  nut,  into  a  short  neck,  as  shewn  in  one  of  the  nucules  on  our 
plate  (1905),  which  was  taken  from  the  more  robust  specimen  thereon 
represented,  all  the  nucules  of  that  plant  being  similar.] 

Messrs.  H.  and  J.  Groves  and  MM.  Cosson  and  Germain  both  cite 
No.  L7  Braun,  Babenh.  and  Stiz.  Char.  Europ.  Exsicc.  But  in  my  set 
No.  17  is  Nitella  mucronata  var.  tenuior,  and  there  is  no  N.  glome- 
rata  in  the  set  at  all.      [This  seems  to  be  the  case  in  some  other  sets.] 

With  regard  to  the  plant  called  C.  Smithii  by  Babington,  the 
question  of  its  identity  with  the  ordinary  form  of  N.  glomerata 
must  remain  uncertain  ;  all  the  other  known  species  of  the  section 
Tolvpella  are  monoecious,  so  it  would  be  a  curious  circumstance  if 
N.  Smithii  were  really  dioecious ;  yet  Mr.  Borrer  was  far  too  acute  an 
observer,  and  far  too  correct,  to  be  likely  to  make  a  mistake  on  the 
point.  [I  have  very  carefully  examined  Mr.  Borrer's  Lancing  speci- 
men, and  only  find  globules  upon  it,  not  a  trace  of  a  nucule :  this  is 
therefore,  I  have  no  doubt,  another  case  of  a  polygamous  species,  as 
in  that  of  N.  flexilis ;  see  note  under  N.  syncarpa  var.  opaca. —

been  wrongly  referred  by  Messrs.  Groves  to  N.  prolifera,  it  belongs  to

Yery  similar  to  N.  glomerata,  but  larger,  especially  in  the  "  bird's-

so  as  to  be  almost  spherical ;  usually  about  ^  inch  in  diameter,  and 
have  the  bracts  tapering  and  acute,  as  are  also  the  brauchlets  of  the 
barren  whorls.  The  most  important  difference,  however,  seems  to  be 
in  the  shape  of  the  nucules,  which  are  much  more  globose  in  N.  intri- 
cata  than  in  N.  glomerata. 

Of  var.  j:>rolifera  I  have  seen  no  specimens,  either  British  or  foreign  ; 
except  by  its  larger  size,  and  simple  barren  branchlets,  it  seems 
undistinguishable  from  N.  intricata. 

Many -fruited  Nitella. 


EXCLUDED  SPECIES. 
NITELLA    NIDIFICA.    Agardh. 

In  the  report  of  the  Botanical  Exchange  Club  for  the  year  1867, 
published  in  'Journal  of  Botany'  for  1868,  at  p.  73,  Mr.  Baker 
writes,  "  A  plant  gathered  many  years  ago  by  Dr.  Moore  in  Lough 
Neagb,  and  suspected  by  him  at  the  time  to  be  the  true  Chara, 
nidifica  of  the  Fl.  Danica,  may  not  unlikely  prove  to  be  really  so. 
It  has  been  submitted  to  Dr.  Braun  for  his  opinion,  and  his  reply 
is,  "  Habitus  et  folia  omnino  nidijica?,  sed  seminibus  minoribus  magis 
contortis  acceclit  ad  C.  fasciculatum  (intricatum).''''  I  do  not  know 
if  Messrs.  Groves  have  seen  this  plant,  or  if  it  has  been  found  by 
any  other  botanist  except  the  late  Dr.  Moore. 

[Of  the  Lough  Neagh  plant  mentioned  above,  there  exists  in  the 
Kew  Herbarium  but  one  specimen,  on  which  Prof.  A.  Braun  has 
written  as  above  quoted,  and  in  his  '  Fragmente  Monographic 
Characeen,'  p.  94,  he  writes  of  this  specimen  as  follows  (transla- 
tion):—"  Habit  of  the  Baltic  N.  nidifica,  the  leaves  of  the  fertile 
whorls  incurved  in  the  same  manner  and  obtuse.  Nucule  smaller, 
more  contorted,  10-gyrate,  unripe,  0,46-0,48  mm.  long,  without  the 
crown  0,43-0,44  mm.  long,  nucleus  yellowish-green  0,30-0,35  mm. 
long."  He  also  says  that  it  is  "  a  form  which  would  seem  best 
united  with  N.  intricata  and  prolifera,  or  rather  with  N.  glomerata." 

A  very  careful  examination  of  this  specimen  with  N.  nidifica  and  N. 
glomerata,  however,  has  not  corroborated  what  Braun  has  stated.  A 
comparison  under  the  microscope,  side  by  side  with  typical  specimens 
of  N.  nidifica  from  the  Baltic,  named  by  Professors  Braun  and  Nord- 
stedt,  has  failed  to  disclose  the  least  difference  between  them.  The 
nucules  examined  by  Braun  must  have  been  quite  immature  ones, 
which  are  the  most  numerous  on  the  specimen,  but  there  are  a  few 
which  appear  to  have  attained  their  full  growth,  and  these  are  neither 
smaller  nor  more  contorted  than  those  of  N.  nidifica,  and  appear  to 


CHARACEJ^.  191 

be  only  7-8-striate  as  in  N.  nidifica,  not  10-striate  as  stated;  their 
shape  also  is  globose  or  subglobose  as  in  N.  nidifica,  and  lastly  the 
habit,  colour,  size,  branching,  obtuseness  and  number  of  the  cells  of 
the  branchlets  is  exactly  as  in  N.  nidifica.  From  N.  intricate  and  its 
var.  prolifera  it  is  at  once  distinguished  by  the  very  obtuse  apical 
cell  of  its  branchlets,  besides  which  N.  intricata  has  the  sterile  ones 
branched.  It  is  very  much  nearer  to  N.  glomerata  from  which  it 
chiefly  differs  in  its  nearly  globose  nucule,  which  is  about  as  broad  as 
long,  whilst  in  N.  glomerata  the  nucule  is  ellipsoidal,  being  distinctly 
longer  than  broad,  and  often  half  as  long  again  as  broad ;  the 
branchlets  and  their  rays,  or  bracts,  are  also  rather  more  incurved 
and  more  obtuse  than  in  N.  glomerata,  and  more  constricted  at  the 
nodes  (this  may  be  due  to  desiccation,  although  I  do  not  think  so,  as 
all  the  specimens  examined  were  moistened  in  water  in  the  same 
manner).  But  for  all  this,  it  is  questionable  whether  N.  nidifica  and 
N.  glomerata  are  more  than  varieties  of  each  other  ;  but  until  the 
plant  is  refound  in  the  British  Isles  and  becomes  better  known,  it 
appears  better  to  treat  it  separately,  therefore  the  synonymy  of  N. 
nidifica  is  given  for  the  Lough  Neagh  specimen,  and  a  description  is 
added,  taken  exclusively  from  this  specimen.

[*  The  name  C.  alopecuroidea  is  so  generally  used  for  this  plant,  that  there  is  perhaps 
littlo  use  in  changing  it  now ;  but  its  oldest  published  name,  and  that  which  according 
to  the  laws  of  botanical  nomenclature  should  be  adopted  for  it  under  Chara,  is  G. 
papulosa,  Wallr.  published  in  1833 ;  the  next  oldest  is  C.  Pouzolsii  (Gay  Herb.),  pub- 
lished by  Braun  in  1835,  and  why  he  should  have  changed  it  in  1847  to  C.  alopecu- 
roidea, does  not  appear,  for  according  to  the  type  specimens,  Gay's  MSS.  name  was 
given  in  1822,  and  Delile's  in  1827,  so  that  even  on  the  ground  of  manuscript  priority 
(which  cannot  be  admitted)  there  was  no  reason  for  the  change. — N.  E.  B.]

Monoecious.  Dark  green  or  olive.  Stem  slender,  translucent, 
without  cortical  cells  or  spine-cells,  but  with  very  long  retrorse  spine- 
like stipule-cells,  in  one  whorl,  lower  portion  often  with  small  one-celled 
bulbils.  Branchlets  6  to  9  in  a  whorl,  3-  to  5-jointed,  the  2  or  3 
lower  joints  nearly  equal,  and  as  thick  as  the  stem,  the  terminal  one 
much  smaller  and  spine-like.  Bracts  6  to  8  in  a  whorl,  at  all  the  nodes 
of  the  branchlets  except  the  last  one,  spreading,  spine-like,  mostly  all 
larger  than  the  nucules.  Xucules  solitary  at  the  lower  nodes  of  the 
branches  in  the  axils  of  the  bracts,  oval-ovoid,  10-  to  12-striate,  with 
a  minute  persistent  subentire  crown.  Globules  solitary  on  the  inner 
side  of  the  fertile  branches,  between  the  bracts  alongside  of  the  nucule.

found  by  Mr.  A.  G.  More  in  August,  1862,  and  again  in  1863,  in  the 
pits  or  reservoirs  on  the  east  side  of  the  creek  close  to  the  village  of 
New  Town,  growing  in  salt  water  18  inches  to  2  feet  deep,  [also 
found  there  in  July  1881  by  Mr.  Charles  Bailey].  Journ.  Bot.  1863,

England.     Perennial.     Summer. 

A  small  plant,  3  to  6  inches  long,  the  stems  scarcely  so  thick  as 
a  darning-needle,  with  branchlets  \  to  f  inch  long,  the  lowest  ones 
generally  unicellular,  and  without  stipule-cells,  which  are  present  at 
the  base  of  all  the  fertile  whorls,  and  are  sometimes  nearly  as  long  as 
the  first  joint  of  the  branchlet.  This  first  joint  is  generally  about  as 
long  as  the  succeeding  one,  but  sometimes  only  half  as  long. 

The  spine-like  bracts  and  stipule-cells  give  this  plant  a  very  bristly 
appearance,  which,  together  with  the  uncorricated  cells  readily  dis- 
tinguish it  from  all  the  British  Charae.  Messrs.  Groves  sav  that  the  Isle 
of  Wight  specimens  appear  to  be  nearer  the  var.  Montagnei  of  Braun, 
which  I  have  not  seen,  but  they  appear  to  me  not  to  differ  from  the 
Baltic  variety  Wallrothii  in  Xordstedt  et  Wahlstedt,  '  Characeee  Scan- 
dinavian Exsiccata?,'  Xo.  21  B.  The  number  21  of  the  same  set,  and 
Xo.  81  of  Braun,  Rabenhorst  and  Stizenberger's  published  set,  has 
more  slender  branches  and  longer  stipule-cells  and  bracts  than  in  any 
of  the  Isle  of  "Wight  specimens  I  have  seen.  [Between  Delile's  type 
of  C.  abpecaroidea,  and  the  so-called  varieties  Montagnei  (Montague's 
specimens !),  and  Wallrothii,  as  named  by  Braun  in  the  Kew  Herba- 
rium, and  the  Isle  of  Wight  plant,  I  fail  to  find  any  distinction,  beyond 
degree  of  incrustation  ;  and  Gay's  type  of  C.  PouzoUii  only  differs  in 
its  longer  and  more  slender  bract-cells  and  stipulodes. — X.  E.  B.]

projecting  above  the  surface  ;  lower  portion  of  the  stem  almost  always 
with  the  whorls  of  branchlets  rudimentary,  and  full  of  starch-grains, 
[bulbils]  resembling  white,  stellately  5-  to  7-lobed  rings,  surrounding

nucules  also  vary  considerably.  The  Lancashire  plant  is  rather  more 
slender  than  usual,  and  the  nodes  of  the  branchlets  are  not  constricted 
as  in  the  Continental  forms. 

C.  Braunii  is  one  of  the  most  distinct  species  of  British  Charas, 
being  readily  known  by  its  uncorticated  stems  and  branchlets,  and 
the  minute  cells  at  the  tips  of  the  branchlets,  which  consist  of  the 
very  reduced  apical  cell  and  the  bracts  of  the  ultimate  node,  and  are 
very  similar  to  those  that  terminate  the  branchlets  of  Nitella  trans- 
lucens.  The  claim  of  this  species  to  be  considered  a  native  plant  is 
perhaps  somewhat  doubtful,  since  Messrs.  Groves  state  (Journ.  Bot. 
1884,  p.  4)  that  the  water  of  the  canal  in  which  it  grows  "is  raised 
to  an  abnormal  temperature  by  the  hot  water  from  the  adjacent  mills. 
Naias  alagnensis*  a  native  of  Egypt,  has  been  found  in  the  same 
neighbourhood,  and  as  its  introduction  is  ascribed  to  the  use  of 
Egyptian  cotton  in  the  mills,  there  seems  a  possibility  of  C.  Braunii, 
also  an  inhabitant  of  Egypt,  having  been  introduced  by  the  same 
means,  although  the  distribution  of  the  latter  is  such  as  to  make  its 
occurrence  in  this  country  probable." 

This  species  is  found  nearly  all  over  the  world,  therefore  it  is  not 
unlikely  to  prove  a  native  of  the  British  Isles,  and  should  be  looked 
for  in  ponds,  streams,  lakes,  &c. — N.  E.  B.

King.  West  Cornwall.  Ireland,  D.  Moore,  no  exact  locality  given. 
The  male  plant  only  is  in  Professor  Babington's  Herbarium. 

England,  Ireland.     Annnal.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Very  variable  in  size,  being  from  1  inch  to  18  inches  or  more,  and 
with  the  branchlets  -J-  to  1  inch  long.  The  smaller  forms  seem  to  be 
more  densely  spinous  than  the  larger,  judging  from  the  specimens  in 
the  Char.  Europ.  Exsicc.  and  the  Char.  Scandinav.  Exsicc.  I  have  not 
seen  any  British  specimen. 

The  shape  of  the  nucules  is  apparently  variable.  I  have  described 
them  from  the  published  sets  above  mentioned.  \Yallroth  figures  them 
linear-fusiform,  and  describes  them  as  '  oblongo-linear.'  Babington 
gives  'narrowly-oblong,'  and  Groves  'oval,'  as  their  form. 

The  globules  are  very  rarely  seen.  "Wallroth  says  he  never  saw 
them,  and  A.  Braun  says  that  in  Germany  and  Scandinavia  the 
female  plant  only  is  found,  and  the  fructification  is  parthenogenetic. 

[The  male  plant  of  this  species  is  excessively  rare  in  Europe,  but  the 
hermaphrodite  plant  is  not  unlikely  to  be  found,  as  in  N.  America  a 
monoecious  state  of  it  has  been  discovered  and  described  as  a  distinct 
species  (C.  evoluta)  by  Dr.  Allen,  but  it  is  certainly  nothing  more 
than  the  hermaphrodite  plant  of  C.  crinita,  and  further  supports  the 
opinion  expressed  under  N.  syncarpa  var.  opaca,  that  the  character 
monoecious  or  dioecious,  unless  accompanied  with  such  distinctions  as 
cannot  be  regarded  as  correlated  with  sex,  is  not  a  specific  character, 
especially  in  such  a  group  as  this,  where  the  species  vary  exceedingly, 
and  the  characters  within  certain  limits  are  most  unstable,  and  even 
when  constant  in  certain  localities,  are  possibly  only  conditional  upon 
the  depth,  temperature,  exposure,  and  chemical  constituents  of  the 
water  they  grow  in.  C.  altaica,  Braun,  is  also  the  hermaphrodite 
plant  of  C.  crinita.  Not  having  seen  fresh  British  specimens,  my 
drawing  was  made  partly  from  the  Irish  specimen,  and  partly  from 
Continental  ones. — N.  E.  B.

Stipule-cells  in  2  whorls  (sometimes  3,  Braun),  ovate-ovoid,  acuminated, 
resembling  the  spine-cells,  but  smaller.  Branchlets  5  to  7  in  a  whorl

Stream,  near  Potter  Heigham,  Norfolk,  A.  Bennett. 

England,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Autumn. 

A  very  variable  plant.  The  Irish  specimens  I  have  seen  belong  to 
a  very  small  form,  with  slightly  branched,  brittle,  greatly  encrusted 
stems  and  branchlets,  the  latter  with  1  or  2  of  the  lower  joints 
furnished  with  cortical  cells,  but  sometimes  (especially  in  the  lower 
part  of  the  stem)  the  branchlets  consist  of  but  a  single  long  cell 
without  cortical  layers.  The  primary  cortical  cells  are  much  more 
prominent  than  the  secondary  cortical  cells.  The  spine-cells  and 
stipule-cells  are  much  smaller  in  size  than  in  the  ordinary  continental 
forms,  but  Messrs.  Groves  give  a  figure  of  one  of  the  Porturnna 
specimens  in  Dr.  Moore's  herbarium,  which  is  furnished  with  large 
stipule-cells. 

Xucules  appear  to  be  very  rare  in  this  plant.  I  have  described 
them  from  Xordstedt  and  TTahlstedt's  '  Characess  Scandinavia?  Ex- 
siccata?,'  Xo.  88.  The  globules  are  frequently  to  be  met  with,  and 
are  much  larger  than  the  nucules.

Spine-bearing  primary  cortical  cells  more  prominent  than  the  spine-

In  pools,  ditches,  streams,  etc.  [Yar.  a.—]  Yery  common,  and  gene-

several  counties,  and  if  searched  for,  will  probably  be  found  in  most.] 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.    Annual  or  perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

A  very  variable  plant,  varying  in  length  from  3  or  4  inches  to 
nearly  2  feet,  with  stems  usually  about  the  thickness  of  a  darning- 
needle,  but  sometimes  considerably  thicker.  The  distance  of  the  whorls, 
the  length  and  direction  of  the  branches,  the  length  of  the  bracts,  the 
number  and  shape  of  the  spine-cells,  are  all  liable  to  great  variation. 
One  of  the  most  distinct  forms  is  the  var.  crassicaulis  of  Schleicher, 
which  is  regarded  as  a  distinct  species  by  Braun.  This  resembles  C. 
tomentosa  in  miniature,  having  the  stem  and  the  brancblets  thicker 
than  in  the  type.  Messrs.  Groves  state  that  there  are  in  the  British 
Museum  and  Kew  Herbaria  [Borrer  Herbarium]  specimens  of  this 


CHARACE.E.  205 

form  from  Coventry  Park,  "Warwick,  collected  by  Mr.  T.  Kirk  in  1856. 
[The  Kew  Herbarium  also  contains  a  specimen  labelled  '  Ireland 
D.  Moore.'  The  plant  collected  by  Mr.  G.  Nicholson  at  Thornton-le- 
Street,  near  Thirsk,  Yorkshire,  is  stated  by  Messrs.  Groves  in  Journ. 
Bot.  1881,  p.  356  to  be  var.  crassicaulis,  it  is,  however,  not  that  plant, 
but  the  form  subhispida,  (which  Braun  first  described  as  a  variety 
afterwards  as  a  species,)  having  very  prominent  secondary  cortical 
cells  and  numerous  spine-cells.  The  var.  crassicaulis  has  all  the 
cortical  cells  nearly  equally  prominent,  no  spine-cells,  or  only  very 
minute  ones,  and  short  incurved  stoutish  branchlets,  with  their 
terminal  uncorticated  joints  much  stouter  than  usual,  and  in  the  dried 
state  apparently  inflated.]  The  figure  they  give  of  this  plant  in  the 
'  Journal  of  Botany,'  however,  appears  to  have  much  more  tapering 
branches  than  the  specimens  given  in  Xo.  69  of  Braun,  Rabenh. 
and  Stiz.  Char.  Eur.,  and  Xo.  97  of  Wahlstedt  and  Xordstedt,  Char. 
Scand.  [This  number  (97)  in  the  Kew  set  is  not  var.  crassicaulis 
at  all,  but  the  form  subhispida,  =  C.  collabens,  Ag.  !] 

[A  form  in  which  the  nucleus  of  the  ripe  nucules  is  black  instead  of 
brown(var.  melanop>yrena,A..  Braun),  is  stated  by  Messrs.  Groves  to  have 
been  collected  near  Bridgerule,  Cornwall,  by  Mr.  W.  Rogers  in  1883. 

Yar.  contraria  is  usually  smaller,  more  rigid,  and  has  shorter  and 
more  incurved  branchlets  than  most  of  the  forms  of  var.  a,  but  exhibits 
much  the  same  general  range  of  variation,  and  some  forms  are  only  to 
be  distinguished  from  the  type,  by  the  greater  prominence  of  the 
primary  cortical  cells,  i.e.,  those  which  correspond  to  the  middle  of 
the  base  of  the  branchlets,  and  upon  which  the  spine-cells  are  placed, 
which  is  the  chief  and  only  reliable  character  ;  as  in  all  the  forms  of 
var.  a  they  are  less  prominent  than  the  secondary  ones.  C.jubata, 
Braun  (C.  contraria  xsx.jubata,  Miiller),  which  appears  to  be  only  a 
deep-water  state  of  the  var.  contraria,  and  only  differs  from  it  by  its 
longer  stems  with  very  distant  whorls  of  exceedingly  short  branchlets 
which  are  sometimes  reduced  to  mere  papilla?  £  to  -J-  of  a  line  long, 
sometimes  1  to  3  lines  long,  may  perhaps  be  found  in  some  of  our  lakes.  1 

Generally  speaking,  C.  fcetida  is  more  or  less  whitish  from  beino- 
encrusted  with  carbonate  of  lime,  but  dark  bright  green  forms,  \C. 
atrovirens,~]  without  encrustation  occasionally  occur.  [The  variety  or 
state,  gymrwphylla,  A.  Braun,  in  which  the  branchlets  are  uncorticated 
is  not  unlikely  to  occur,  and  should  be  searched  for.]  Messrs.  Groves 
in  their  excellent  paper  on  British  Characere  in  the  '  Journal  of 
Botany,'  have  reverted  to  the  name  vulgaris  for  this  species,  but 
although  the  name  fcetida  has  been  used  with  different  decrees  of 
latitude  by  Braun  himself,  it  is  generally  accepted  subject  to  different 
opinions  as  to  species  and  varieties.  At  any  rate,  the  name  vulgaris 
is  untenable  as  dating  back  to  Linnaeus,  who  under  it  included  forms 
now  universally  considered  distinct.  C.  fcetida  possesses  in  a  special 
degree  an  unpleasant  odour.

Var.  y,  rare.  Recorded  from  Cambridgeshire,  Yorkshire,  Hickling 
Broad,  Norfolk,  Cumberland,  Anglesea,  "Roxburgh,  Fife,  Cork,  Gralway, 
and  Mayo. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.      Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

A  very  variable  plant,  generally  much  encrusted.  Steins  1  to  3  feet 
long,  often  as  thick  as  a  crow-quill,  and  sometimes  equalling  a  goose- 
quill.  The  number  and  length  of  the  spines  is  very  variable,  and  they 
appear  to  be  more  persistent  in  some  forms  than  in  others.  The  length 
of  the  stipule-cells  and  bracts  is  also  liable  to  much  variation. 

One  of  the  most  striking  varieties  is  the  C.  horrkla  of  Wallman, 
which  is  an  unencrusted  form  with  short  branchlets,  and  very 
numerous  persistent  spine-cells,  and  with  bulbils  on  the  buried 
portion  of  the  stem  [which  also  occur  on  typical  and  other  forms  of 
hispida].  Braun  enters  it  as  a  species  in  the  Consp.  Char.  Europ. 
p.  6,  and  Exsicc.  Nos.  71  and  87,  but  remarks,  "  Ch.  hispidae. 
proxima,  cujus  varietas  marina  esse  videtur."  Messrs.  G-roves  give 
"  Groldens  Common,  Freshwater,  Isle  of  Wight,  Herb.  A.  Gr.  More." 

[The  variety  baltica  is  a  maritime  form,  distinguished  by  its  greener 
unencrusted  stems,  with  more  prominent  primary  cortical  cells :  the 
spine-cells  are  very  variable  in  number  and  size,  being  sometimes 
reduced  to  mere  papilla?,  sometimes  short  and  more  or  less  spreading, 
sometimes  (as  in  all  the  Cornish  specimens  seen)  long  and  more  or  less 
appressed  to  the  stem,  or  ("  spreading,"  H.  &  J.  Groves).  C.  Liljebladii 
is  merely  a  large  state  of  this  variety,  with  much  longer  and  more 
spreading  branchlets ;  and  C.  Nolteana  is  a  state  in  which  the 
branchlets  are  stout  and  uncorticated  except  the  lowest  joint.] 

Var.  pseudocrinita  is  perhaps  a  subspecies  ;  it  is  more  spinous  than 
any  of  the  forms  of  true  hispida,  except  the  form  horrida,  which  it 
considerably  resembles,  except  in  the  relative  size  of  the  primary  and 
secondary  cortical  cells.  I  should  be  inclined  to  attach  more  impor- 
tance to  the  character  taken  from  the  cortical  cells,  were  it  not  that 
in  C.  contraria,  Braun,  we  have  a  plant  bearing  the  same  relation 
to  C.  fcetida  that  C.  polyacantha  does  to  C.  hispida. 

\Yhen  we  find  two  plants,  which  let  us  call  A  and  B,  have  forms 
allied  to  them  which  let  us  call  a  and  b.  If  A  is  to  a  as  B  is  to  b,  then 
the  probability  is  that  a  and  b  are  but  varieties  of  A  and  B.  It  is 
the  rule  that  species  have  varieties  similarly  related  to  them  ;  but 
true  species,  and  even  subspecies,  seldom  follow  any  such  relation. 

C.  hispida  bears  considerable  resemblance  to  the  forms  of  C. 
foetida,*  in  which  the  stem  is  furnished  with  spine-cells  ;  but  it  is 
a  stouter  plant,  with  the   stem  more   furrowed  when  dry,  and  with 


[*  In  the  Monatsbericht  Akad.  Wissenschaften  Berlin,  1867,  p.  922,   Braun  states 
C.  hispida  to  be  a  subspecies  of  C.  foetida.']

more  numerous  and  fasciculated  spine-cells  in  the  upper  part  ;  the 
stipule-cells  are  more  developed,  the  branches  have  more  of  the  joints 
clothed  with  cortical  cells,  the  bracts  are  more  numerous  at  each 
node,  and  the  nucules  are  broader  in  proportion  to  their  length. 

The  form  or  variety  horrida,  and  the  variety  or  subspecies 
pseudocrinita,  especially  the  latter,  bear  considerable  resemblance  to 
the  larger  states  of  C.  crinita  ;  but  their  stems  are  stouter,  and  have 
more  numerous  cortical  cells  than  in  crinita;  the  branchlets  are 
stouter,  the  bracts  more  unequal  and  less  spine-like ;  the  nucules  are 
larger,  more  deeply  striate  and  with  a  larger  crown,  and  each 
accompanied  by  a  globule. 

\_C.  rudis,  Braun,  is  a  slight  form  in  which  the  secondary  cortical 
cells  are  more  prominent  than  usual. 

Another  trifling  variety  of  this  variable  species,  which  will  probably 
be  found  to  occur,  is  C. papulosa,  Ktitz.  (G\  intermedia,  Braun).  It  is 
like  typical  C.  hispida,  but  has  the  primary  cortical  cells  more  pro- 
minent than  the  secondary  ones,  and  few  spine-cells,  which  are  some- 
times minute  and  papilliform,  sometimes  spine-like.  Braun  quotes  C. 
aculeolata,  Kiitz.  as  one  of  the  synonyms  of  his  C.  intermedia  ;  but  to 
judge  from  Kiitzing's  figure,  and  a  specimen  at  Kew  named  by 
Braun,  it  belongs  rather  to  the  var.  pseudocrinita.  As  so  many  other 
characters  of  Charaeeae  are  found  to  be  inconstant,  it  is  probable  that 
the  relative  prominence  of  the  cortical  cells  is  likewise  so,  and  that 
some  of  the  so-called  varieties  or  species  are  but  states  of  one  plant ; 
this  requires  deciding  by  careful  experimental  cultivation.]

8  to  10  in  a  whorl ;  the  5  inner  ones  longer,  and  usually  exceeding 
the  nucule ;  those  on  the  outside  of  the  branchlet  shorter,  and  those 
at  the  upper  nodes  of  the  branchlet,  which  do  not  produce  nucules, 
shorter,  and  often  rudimentary.  Bracts  in  the  male  plant  usually 
shorter  than  in  the  female,  and  only  2  of  them  longer  than  the 
others,  which  are  sometimes  rudimentary.  Nucules  in  the  axils  of  the 
bracts,  at  2  to  5  of  the  lowest  nodes  of  the  branchlet,  oval-ovoid, 
deeply  12-  to  14-striate,  with  a  prominent  erect-spreading  persistent 
crown.  Globules  on  separate  plants  from  those  bearing  nucules, 
solitary  in  the  axils  of  the  bracts,  at  several  of  the  lower  nodes  of 
the  branchlets,  [or  rarely  on  the  same  plant  and  placed  below  the 
nucules  (C.  tenuispina).] 

In  lakes,  ponds,  and  ditches,  and  more  rarely  in  brackish  pools  ; 
rather  rare,  but  widely  distributed,  reaching  from  Cornwall  and 
Hants,  north  to  Orkney  and  Shetland ;  more  common  in  Scotland  ; 
also  more  common  in  Ireland,  where  it  extends  from  north  to  south  of 
the  island. 

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.     Summer,  Autumn. 

Stems  slightly  branched,  slender,  often  capillary,  3  inches  to 
I  foot  long,  with  the  internodes  usually  rather  distant.  Branchlets 
^  to  ^  inch  long.  The  more  spinous  and  condensed  states  resemble 
C.  crinita,  but  the  stems  are  much  more  faintly  striate  from  the 
cortical  cells  being  smaller  ;  the  bracts  and  stipule-cells  are  usually 
shorter  and  less  spine-like,  particularly  the  bracts  towards  the  ex- 
tremity of  the  branchlets ;  the  nucules  are  much  more  strongly 
striate,  and  the  whole  plant  is  much  more  brittle  when  dry.  The 
stouter  states  of  C.  aspera  often  much  resemble  small  forms  of 
C.  hispida,  particularly  its  var.  pseudocrinita,  [as  for  example  C.  aspera 
var.  dasi/acantha,  A.  Braun,  in  which  the  stem  is  densely  covered 
with  long  setaceous  spine-cells] ;  but  the  stems  and  branchlets  are 
more  slender,  the  cortical  cells  smaller,  and  the  plant  is  dioecious,  and 
usually  of  a  much  brighter  green  tint. 

C.  tenuispina,  A.  Braun  (Char.  Europ.  Exsicc.  No.  74),  is  doubt- 
less a  monoecious  form,  [the  hermaphrodite  plant,]  variety,  or  at  most 
subspecies,  of  C.  aspera. 

[Occasionally  the  spine-cells  are  reduced  to  mere  rudiments  like 
those  of  some  states  of  C.  fragilis,  from  which  it  is  then  difficult  to 
distinguish  this  species.     See  remarks  under  C.  fragilis. 

One  of  the  most  marked  forms  is  C.fallax,  Ag.,  a  small  state  in 
which  the  spine-cells  are  papilliform,  and  the  branchlets  variously 
ecorticate,  sometimes  having  the  lowest  joint  or  joints  clothed  with 
cortical  cells,  and  the  rest  naked,  and  sometimes  having  all  the  joints

without  cortical  cells.  The  description  given  (Syst.  Alg.  Introd.  p. 
xxviii.)  is,  by  a  typographical  error,  a  repetition  of  that  of  C.  colla- 
bens,  as  is  stated  by  Agardh  himself  on  the  label  of  a  typical  specimen 
in  the  Kew  Herbarium,  there  being  no  description  of  0.  fallax.]

[*  A.  Braun  and  others  consider  C.  delicatula,  Desv.  as  distinct  from  C.  delicatula, 
Ag.,  placing  Desveaux's  plant  under  C.  aspera.  They  may  be  right,  but  there  are  no

and  Desveaux  himself  in  bis  Fl.  de  l'Anjou  unites  bis  C.  delicatula  with  C.  frag  His. 
Tho  oldest  name  for  C.  fragilis  is  C.  globularis,  Thuill. ;  but  as  he  also  described  it 
under  another  name  {C.  capillacea)  in  the  same  book,  it  is  perhaps  better  to  retain  the 
name  C.  fragilis.]

In  ponds,  lakes,  and  ditches,   &c,  more  rarely  in  running  water. 

[Var.  a. — ]  Common  and  generally  distributed  ;  apparently  more 
rare  in  Scotland,  but  extending  north  to  Orkney  and  Shetland.  In 
Ireland  it  occurs  from  south  to  north. 

[Var.  ?  /3. — Rare  ;  Stokes  Bay,  G-osport,  Hampshire  ;  and  Slapton

England,  Scotland,  Ireland.     Perennial.      Summer,  Autumn. 

Stems  2  inches  to  2  feet ;  slender,  often  capillary  ;  the  branchlets 
i  to  1  or  even,  [in  large  forms,]  1-2^  inches  long. 

In  the  form  C.  Hedwigii,  Agardh,  the  plant  is  dark  green  and  much 
stouter  than  the  ordinary  form,  sometimes  nearly  2  feet  long,  and  the 
branchlets  |  to  2  J  inches  long ;  [a  state  of  it  in  which  all  the  joints  of 
the  branchlets  are  without  cortical  cells,  has  been  collected  near  Blair- 
gowie,  East  Perthshire,  by  Mr.  A.  Sturrock,  and  described  as  var. 
Sturrockii  by  Messrs.  Groves  in  '  Journ.  Bot.  1884,'  p.  2.]  The  bract 
cells  are  extremely  variable  in  length,  sometimes  much  shorter  than 
the  nucule,  and  scarcely  perceptible  at  the  upper  part  of  the  branches  ; 
at  other  times  they  are  all  conspicuously  longer  than  the  nucule, 
but  perhaps  most  generally  there  are  2  of  the  bracts  equalling  the 
nucule,  and  2  shorter  ;  [and  on  the  branchlets  of  barren  specimens 
they  are  frequently  all  rudimentary  or  absent.]  The  crusted  forms 
are  rare,  and  more  brittle  than  the  ordinary  green  form.

210  ENGLISH    BOTANY. 

[C.  connivens  appears  to  be  but  a  sexual  state  of  C.  fragilis,  as 
strictly  it  only  differs  from  that  plant  in  sex ;  the  greater  incurving 
of  the  branchlets  and  shortness  or  absence  of  bracts  given  as  dis- 
tinctive marks  are  variable  and  unreliable  characters.  In  the  typical 
form  of  0.  connivens  (the  branch  and  magnified  portion  of  stem,  with 
the  more  incurved  branchlets  represented  on  Plate  1921,  which  I  have 
drawn  from  a  typical  specimen  of  Salzmann's  in  the  Kew  Herbarium), 
the  branchlets  are  very  much  incurved  and  the  bracts  absent  or  rudi- 
mentary ;  but  in  the  British  specimens  seen,  the  bracts  are  nearly 
half  as  long  as  the  nucule,  and  the  Slapton  plant  (a  branch  and 
magnified  portion  of  a  branchlet  of  which  is  shown  on  Plate  1921, 
taken  from  a  specimen  in  the  collection  of  Mr.  Arthur  Bennett  of 
Croydon)  has  the  branchlets  only  slightly  incurved,  whilst  the  Gosport 
specimen  in  Mr.  Borrer's  Herbarium  (now  at  Kew)  has  only  a  few 
whorls  of  branchlets  strongly  incurved  as  in  Salzmann's  plant  (not 
all  of  them  as  shown  in  l  Journ.  of  Bot.'  1880,  t.  207,  f.  3),  and  the 
rest  but  slightly  incurved  as  in  ordinary  C.  fragilis.] 

C.  fragilis  bears  a  close  resemblance  to  some  states  of  0.  aspera, 
but  is  without  the  very  distinct  spine-cells  [characteristic  of  that 
species.  Some  forms  of  C.  fragilis,  however,  have  minute  wart-like 
or  papilliform  spine-cells,  and  sometimes  the  spine-cells  of  C.  aspera 
are  reduced  to  a  similar  condition,  it  then  becomes  difficult  to  dis- 
tinguish the  two  species,  the  only  distinctive  character  (besides  that 
of  sex,  on  which  no  reliance  can  be  placed)  appears  to  be  that  of  the 
bulbils ;  in  C.  aspera  these  appear  to  be  always  simple,  consisting  of 
a  single,  smooth,  rather  large,  globose  cell,  and  although  two  or  more 
such  bulbils  may  arise  from  the  same  node,  they  are  not  united  to 
each  other  in  a  mass ;  whilst  in  C.  fragilis  the  bulbils  are  always  com- 
pound, consisting  of  numerous  very  small  cells  united  into  a  granu- 
lated mass].  The  globules  in  C.  fragilis  are  brilliant  scarlet,  and 
contrast  well  with  the  bright  green  of  the  plant;  they  are  very 
evanescent,  and  after  their  fall  the  specimen  might  be  mistaken  for 
the  female  of  a  dioecious  species. 

[The  Kew  Herbarium  contains  a  specimen  of  C.  fragilis  from  the 
hot  springs  of  Iceland,  on  the  label  of  which  it  is  stated  that,  "  the 
temperature  of  the  spring  in  which  this  plant  was  growing  was  such 
as  to  boil  an  egg  in  four  minutes."  A  remarkable  fact  if  the  water 
was  really  so  hot  at  the  exact  spot  ichere  the  Chara  grew,  as  one  would 
scarcely  expect  protoplasm  to  retain  vitality  at  a  temperature  high 
enough  to  coagulate  albumen.]

slender,  flexible,  translucent,  spirally  striate,  clothed  with  3  times 
as  many  cortical  cells  as  there  are  branchlets  in  a  whorl,  smooth 
without  spine-cells ;  subterranean  part  of  the  stem  producing  bulbils 
at  the  nodes;  bulbils  consisting  of  an  aggregation  of  cells,  forming 
a  subglobular,  granulated  mass;  stipule-cells  in  2  whorls,  papilli- 
form,  generally  very  minute  and  inconspicuous.  Branchlets  6  to  10 
in  a  whorl,  rather  long,  capillary,  flexuous,  rarely  firm,  ascending 
or  slightly  incurved,  10-  to  16-jointed,  their  joints  clothed  with 
cortical  cells,  except  the  smaller  apical  cell,  which  is  naked,  and 
sometimes  also  the  second,  and  even  the  third,  from  the  apex. 
Bracts  in  the  female  plant  1  to  5  on  the  inner  side  of  the  branchlet, 
the  longest  of  them  about  half  the  length  of  the  nucule  ;  those 
of  the  upper  node  of  the  branchlet,  which  do  not  produce  nucules, 
rudimentary  or  absent.  Bracts  in  the  male  plant  usually  2,  very 
minute  and  tooth-like.  Nucules  in  the  axils  of  the  bracts,  at  1  to  3 
of  the  lowest  nodes  of  the  branchlet,  oval-ovoid,  deeply  11-  to 
13-striate,  with  a  rather  prominent  erect  or  spreading,  persistent

resembling  the  filaments  of  a  Conferva ;  more  rarely,  as  in  a  plant 
from  the  Lizard  Downs,  \  inch  long,  and  somewhat  setaceous.  Bracts 
shorter  than  in  most  forms  of  C.  fragilis,  particularly  in  the  male 
plant ;  nucules  with  a  shorter  crown. 

The  bulbils  of  C.  fragifera  are  remarkable  for  their  large  size, 
being  T2o  to  I  inch  in  diameter ;  they  are  formed  of  an  aggregation  of 
cells,  and  are  white. 

[C.  fragifera  bears  a  close  resemblance  to  the  more  slender  states  of 
C.  fragilis,  and  may  possibly  be  only  a  distinct  variety  of  that  plant ; 
it  is,  however,  more  slender,  more  flexible,  the  branchlets  have  more 
numerous  joints,  and  the  bulbils  are  usually  larger  and  appear  to  be 
more  unilateral  with  respect  to  the  node  they  arise  from,  whilst  on  C. 
fragilis  they  seem  more  generally  to  grow  out  all  round  the  node, 
though  this  may  not  be  at  all  constant.  With  No  73b  of  Braun, 
Rabenh.  and  Stiz.  Char.  Exsicc,  a  specimen  bearing  unicellular  bul- 
bils is  given  as  belonging  to  C.  fragifera ;  but  in  the  Kew  set  (and  no 
doubt,  from  the  statement  made  on  No.  73a,  in  all  other  sets)  this 
specimen  is  not  C.  fragifera  at  all,  but  C.  aspera !  of  which  such  bul- 
bils are  characteristic,  the  specimen  is  partly  decomposed ;  but  where 
cortical  cells  remain  on  the  stem,  spine-cells  are  very  evident,  the 
branchlets  are  also  those  of  C.  aspera.  Doubtless  Durieu  has  been 
mistaken  in  the  cases  stated  on  No.  73a,  in  supposing  the  specimens 
with  simple  bulbils  to  be  C.  fragifera ;  he  appears  only  to  have  found 
them  on  plants  in  a  more  or  less  decomposed  condition,  in  which 
state  the  characteristics  of  C.  aspera  might  easily  be  overlooked, 
especially  if  growing  in  a  locality  where  C.  fragifera  was  found.] 

My  British  specimens  of  C.  fragifera  are  through  the  Botanical 
Exchange  Club,  from  Chy-an-hal,  near  Penzance,  and  Pond  of  Lizard 
Downs,  Mr.  J.  Ralfs,  and  G-orkhill  Down,  Helston,  Mr.  J.  Cunnack.

Triangular. — Limited  to  triangular  figures  of  which  the  sides  are 
conspicuously  longer  than  the  base. 

Obdeltoid. — An  equilateral  triangle  with  its  apex  towards  the  base 
of  the  organ  described. 

Wedge-shaped. — A  triangular  figure  (in  the  restricted  sense  defined 
above)  with  its  apex  towards  the  base  of  the  organ  described. 

In  most  of  these  definitions  some  latitude  is  allowed  in  regard  to 
their  relative  length  and  breadth,  and  when  it  becomes  necessary  to

use  more  precise  terms  broadly  or  narrowly  is  employed  to  qualify 
them.  Figures  intermediate  between  two  forms  are  called  by  the 
two  terms  answering  to  the  forms,  joined  by  a  hyphen,  the  latter 
term  being  that  to  which  the  figure  under  consideration  most  nearly 
approaches.  Thus  oval-obovate  denotes  a  figure  which  is  nearer 
obovate  than  oval,  and  obovate-oval  one  which  is  more  nearly  oval 
than  obovate.  In  every  case  these  terms  are  used  without  reference 
to  the  shape  of  the  base  and  apex,  which  is  defined  by  terms  in  general 
use,  such  as  acute,  obtuse,  cordate,  obcordate,  or  to  the  nature  of  the 
margins,  which  is  indicated  by  the  generally  received  terms  entire, 
serrate,  crenate,  toothed,  etc.  The  word  cut  or  incised  is  applied  to  the 
form  of  the  margin  when  the  general  outline  of  the  figure  appears  to 
have  incisions  made  into  it.  The  word  lobed  is  used  where  there  are 
protuberances  extending  beyond  the  general  outline  of  the  figure. 

Terms  applied  to  the  General  Figure  of  Solids. 

Ovoid. — A  solid  whose  transverse  section  is  a  circle,  and  its  longi- 
tudinal section  a  figure  longer  than  broad  with  curved  sides.  When 
it  is  necessary  to  define  the  shape  more  minutely,  the  figure  of  the 
plane  found  in  the  longitudinal  section  is  prefixed  to  ovoid.  Thus 
ovate-ovoid  is  a  body  whose  longitudinal  section  gives  an  ovate  figure. 

Oblong-ovoid. — A  solid  of  which  the  longitudinal  section  is  oblong- 
oval  or  oblong-elliptical. 

Cylindrical. — A  solid  of  which  the  cross  section  is  a  circle  and  of 
which  the  longitudinal  section  is  rectangular ;  the  shape  is  defined  by 
prefixing  oblong,  straps/taped  or  linear. 

Fusiform. — A  solid  of  which  the  transverse  section  is  a  circle,  and 
its  longitudinal  section  a  strapshaped-elliptical  or  linear-elliptical 
figure. 

Clavate. — A  solid  whose  transverse  section  is  a  circle,  and  longi- 
tudinal section  is  a  strapshaped  -  oblanceolate  or  linear  -  oblanceolate 
figure. 

Use  of  Mark  of  Interrogation  in  the  Body  of  the  Work. 

When  a  ?  is  placed  before  the  word  "  subspecies  "  it  implies  that 
perhaps  the  plant  ought  to  be  treated  as  a  species,  and  when  before 
"  var."  the  variety  is  perhaps  a  subspecies;  but  if  the  ?  is  placed  after 
the  words  "  species,"  "  subspecies,"  [or  "  variety "],  it  denotes  that 
the  first  should  perhaps  be  considered  a  subspecies,  the  second  a 
variety,  [and  the  last  as  being  probably  a  mere  form  or  condition].
