Those who keep a lookout for new varieties of native plants often find them in the woods. At a recent meeting of the German-town Horticultural Society an exhibitor had present a distinct variety of Aspidium acrostichoides. The divisions of the fronds are deeply incised, and the whole frond of a crimped, or wavy outline, quite unlike the typical form. The same exhibitor has a crested form of Aspidium Noveboracense, a decided acquisition. Both were obtained from the woods near Germantown.
