An arctic-alpine species requiring a base-rich substrate. Some<br />

more southerly sites in limestone grykes are liable to be<br />

destroyed through quarrying. An outstanding adventive record<br />

from a railway bridge in Wellingborough, v.c. 32, has been<br />

verified by Dr Anne Sleep, but is not plotted here.<br />

26.1 x 3 Polystichum X lonchitiforme<br />

(Halacsy) Becherer<br />

(P.Ionchit is x setiferum)<br />

This hybrid was found in Glenade, v.c. H29, with the parents<br />

and has been confirmed by observing meiosis in the spore<br />

mother cells (A.Sleep, pers. comm.). Without the cytological<br />

confirmation it is virtually impossible to separate from<br />

P. x illyricum (see M .J.P . Scannell , Irish Nat. J., 19: 79; 1977).<br />
