Lomaria (To the varieties of L Spicant)

To the varieties of L. Spicant described on p. 295, Vol. II., the following should now be added:

L. Spicant Aitkeniana (Aitken's). fronds, lower portions contracted, the surface slightly corrugated, the apex magnified into a huge, branching head, of which the under side bears traces of an excurrent line like the marginate Scolopendriums. County Clare, Ireland, 1882.

L. S. obovatum (obovate). fronds normal in outline, but the pinnae are very much contracted at the base, so that they take a distinctly obovate form. St. Michael's, Azores, 1882.
