It is a somewhat rare plant, but is found in certain localities in Scotland some of the mountainous districts and in Ireland, being in these countries more plentiful than in England and "Wales. In England its distribution is con- fined to the northern counties. A tufted root-stock; a short scaly stem; a frond narrowly lanced- shaped, consisting of two rows of wing-shaped serrated leaflets, diminishing in size by gradation towards the tip of the frond . Such is the Holly Fern. Its peculia...rity is that it has no branches like the other two species of its kind, Aculeatum and Angular e ; but one simple rachis clothed on each side with a row of spiny leaflets. In fact, it has a sort of general resem- blance to a single branch of Polystichum aculeatum. One peculiarity about the leaflets of this Fern must be noticed. The upper portion of each one next the rachis projects a little over the leaflet immediately above it. The leaflets are attached to the rachis by a narrow point ; but without the intervention of a stalk.
