PERNS AND PERN CASES. 



(Continued from page 7.) 



33. Acrophorus hispidus. — This 

 is a semi hare's-foot fern, which is 

 sometimes catalogued as Davallia 

 Novse-Zelandise. It has creeping 

 stems, which produce neat triangular 

 fronds, averaging three inches wide ; 

 they ai"e deep green, finely divided, 

 smooth and shining. It is extremely 

 pretty, and is admirably adapted to 

 plant amongst pieces of rock, over 

 which iis creeping rhizomes soon ex- 

 tend themselves. 



34. Aneihia adiantifolia. — A 

 scarce aud elegant small- flowering 

 fern, with erect slender stalks, bearing 

 thick -textured leafy fronds, from the 

 points of which proceed little spikes 

 of fructification. It bears a close 

 atmosphere well, aud if allowed to 

 establish itself, will, in the course of 

 two seasons, form a fine plant. 



35. Ankisiia phyllitidis. — This is 

 sometimes catalogued and described 

 as Anemidicfyon phyllitidis (J. 

 Smith). It has been Irequently re- 

 commended in these pages as a very 

 superior case fern. It is of compa- 

 ratively bold habit, producing smooth 

 triangular fronds from a crown. 



From the lowest pair of leaflets 

 (pianse) rise the fertile spikes, or 

 flowers, which add greatly to its 

 beauty and interest. 



30. Adian rusi jfaiiwm. — Since the 

 list of Adiantums was made out 

 (Vol. vii., p. 191), I have noticed two 

 species which had escaped me. They 

 are both thriving in a small case, and 

 are extremely beautiful. A. fulvutn 

 is a fine fern, the fronds half drooping, 

 rising to a height of six to nine inches. 

 They are divided into seven branches, 

 the central one the longest. The 

 pinnules are nearly round. In 

 habit this fern resembles A. assimile, 

 which; however, is only thrice-divided. 

 The young growth is downy, and of 

 a beautiful pinky tint, which renders 

 it a very interesting fern. 



37. A. cristatum. —Avery distinct 

 and beautiful fern. The fronds are 

 about three inches long, nearly erect, 

 divided into two to four pinnce, one 

 of which is longer than the rest. The 

 pinnules are slightly toothed, and 

 overlap. The colour is a rich deep 

 sbining ureen. 



38. Casipyloneurum angustifo-
