POLYPODIUM 



The fimple /lender Polypodium with long narow lobes. 



This plant rifes, by a very fmall and flender rib, to the height of twenty fix or 

 thirty inches ; its foliage is pretty open, and the lobes very diflinct and feparate to- 

 wards the bottom ; they are of a lanceolated form, and flick by their entire bafes to 

 the rib ; but as they approach nearer towards the top, they are joined together at their 

 bafes, as if it had been but a lobed margin.
