This beautiful fern is more generally scattered than most 
of the others, being found in all moist places from the table- 
land down to the plain. The trunk grows to the length of 
four or five feet, sometimes erect, but usually lying on the 
ground, with its apex only upright. T hough not above two 
inches in diameter, the stumps of the decayed fronds, with 
their thick scaly covering remaining attached to it, give it an 
apparent diameter of eight or nine inches. It is crowned | 
with numerous stiff fronds, from one to three feet in length, 
according to the age and situation of the plant. The barren 
fronds form a spreading circle, within which, in the summer, 
five or six fertile fronds shoot u p in a perpendicular tuft.
