The present genus appears very distinct from all others;
the long w iiy rhizoma is a marked character, and from the
rapid ity with which the rhizoma grows, and the great number
produced, this genus is perhaps more readily propagated than
any other. I t is easily cultivated, and when grown in wide
shallow pans, a fine specimen may be speedily procured.
The species datallioides is the most magnificent in the
genus, and calls forth universal admiration; undulata is a
jn-etty F e rn when successfully grown, whilst the well-known
exaltata and pectinata arc both worth careful cultivation as
exhibition plants.
To grow these F erns successfully, drain well, give abundance
of pot-room, and a rich compost.
