P . lachnopodium is one of those beautiful stove F erns -which
should be in every collection, as its much-divided fronds and
peculiar texture are a great contrast to the ordinary form of
the Polypody.
Aly thanks are due to Mr. Henderson, of Wen two rth , for a
plan t of this F e rn ; and to the same gentleman, Mr. Sim, of
F o o t’s Cray; Mr. Norman, of H u ll; and to Mr. Clarke, of the
Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasgow, for fronds.
I t is in the Catalogue of Mr. Ro b e rt Sim, of F o o t’s Cray
Nur.sery, K e n t; and this appears to be the only Catalogue which
contains it.
The illustration is from a frond received from Mr. Henderson,
of AVentworth.
