:
A VERY fine gold Fern , the under side of the frond being
covered with a rich yellow farinose powder.
An evergreen stove species.
Native of Central America.
The fronds are bipinnate, the lower pinnæ bearing bluntly-
oblong pinnules, the superior ones becoming sessile and the
terminal one lobed; above a rigid green, below brilliant
yellow, from copious farinæ. Branches sub-opposite, ascending.
Sori linear, continuous, and becoming after a time confinent,
and thus forming a broad dark margined belt of rounded sori.
