yet occasionally larger—the plant I possess has them as much
as three feet.
Glabrous, coriaceous, lanceolate, pinnate; the pinnæ acutely
oblong, petiolate, Avcdge-shapcd at the base, and the margin of
the frond serrate.
The fronds are terminal, being attached to a thick, scaly,
creeping rhizoma.
The long lines o f sori are placed so near together upon the
frond, that when mature they become confluent.
Hairy both on the stem and midrib of the pinnæ.
I am indebted to Mr. Henderson, of Wentworth; and to
Mr. Masters, of the Exotic Nursery, Canterbury, for plants of
this species.
It is in the Catalogues of Messrs. A. Henderson, of Pineapple
Place; E. G. Henderson, of the Wellington Nursery;
Sim, of Foot’s Cray; Masters, of Canterbury; and Parker,
of the Paradise Nursery, Holloivay.
The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.
