O p i n i o n differs as to which is the handsomest F e rn amongst
the glaucous section Phlebodium. The present F e rn is much
less common than Polypodium aureum, and, in my opinion, a
more beautiful species. The pinnæ are also narrower, and more
distant from each other than in P . aureum.
L ik e P . aureum it is easily propagated, and it is more glaucous.
