'J'his 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. Though 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 up in a perpendicular tuft.
