A few of the lowest pinnules are often slightly stallted, but very ditl'erently from those of P. imjulare.—A. lobatum (Sw.) has the pinnae less divided than in the type of the species and the fronds linear-lanceolate and more ri£>id. H. F. 10.—Hedge-banks. P. Yll. VHI. E. S. I. 3. P. amjuldre (Newm.) ; fronds lax drooping lanceolate bi- ^inniite,pinnulestvuncate or obtuse-angled below distinctly stalked. N. 170. //. F. 12.—Stipe usually long. First upper pinnule scarcely longer than the others, its lower side rounded below, its upper with a large blimtish auricle and forming an obtuse angle with the lower, at the top of the short stalk which is nearly at right angles with the partial rachis ; all short, broad and bluntish; or first upper pmnule longer and deeply pin- natifid, aU more acute; or pinnules all narrower and acute.— Sheltered woods and hedge-banks, chiefly in the West.

C. frag'ilis (Eernh.) ; frond lanceolate bipinnate, pinnae ovate or ovate-lanceolate, pinnules oblong-ovate or cordate- ovate pinnatifid or cut.—a. vera ; usually bipinnate, pinnules rather narrowed below, veins ending at tip of term, teeth ov if pinnule emarginate in the 2 teeth not in the notch. Sporules prickly.—a. C anthriscifolia (Ilofh) ; pinnules ovate acute cut, segments oblong tootlied. Cystca fragilis Sm., N. 155.—b. C. cynapifoiia (Roth) : pinnules obovate cut, segments obovate toothed or refuse at tlie end. C. fragilis E. B. 1587,—c. C. angustata (Sni.); pinnules lanceolate acute cut, segments lan- ceolate-oblong cut, teeth acute. N. 156.—/3.

Clusters wtwe marginal, often ullimafely coiiflutmt. In well-grown plants the pinnules are suddenly widened to their full extent just above their narrow stal]<lilio base. Spores warted.—y. C. Lickieana (Sim), pinn;e usually over- lapping, pinuules broad blunt, veins reaching the emirgiiiateend, clusters scattered, spores verrucose.—b. C. alpina (Desv.); frond bipinnate, pinnfE ovate, pinnuhis ovate deeply pinniitilid with broadly and shortly linear segments partly cloven, iy'.'ms reaching the blunt end. F. JJ. li}'.]. H. F. 24.
