The colour is green, with a broad belt of a whitish colour
dowid the centre of each pinna, occupying one ha lf the width
of the frond.
Mr. Crocker, who has the management of the Ferns at the
Koyal Gardens, Kew, has raised some hundreds of plants
from spores, and every one is quite tru e , not a single normal
green frond to he seen amongst them.
My thanks are due to Mr. Smith, the Curator of the Royal
Gardens, Kew, for the fronds from which the present illustration
was produced.
