Fructification amorphous and distinct, covering the whole
u n d e r side, except the midrib, where there are red scales.
Veins forked and free.
Sterile and fertile fronds different. In the example figured
the sterile frond was eight inches in length, of which the stipes
was two inches, broadest in the middle, where six tenths of an
inch wide, pointed at the apex, the scales on the up p e r surface
being mostly stellate. The fertile frond eight inches and a half
iu length, of which th e stipes was five inches and a half; width
four tenths of an inch. A pex rounded.
I am indebted to Mr. Henderson, of Wentworth, for fronds
of this species.
I t is in no N u rseryman’s Catalogue.
The illustrations are from Mr. Hen d e rso n ’s fronds.
