Someone has already posted the explanation.  I'd just like to point out
that for the future, there is an automatic tool to decode this sort of
thing.  It's called cdecl and you can get it as cdecl25b.zip in v2apps
at Simtelnet.

You'd see this:

cdecl> explain void (*f(int , char ))(float);
declare f as function (int, char) returning pointer to function (float)
returning void

which is very similar to what the other poster said.
