A. obliquum minus (lesser). sfi. black. fronds pinnate ; pinne

A. Oweni (Owen's). sti, about 8in. long, glossy ebeneous. fronds

Adiantum — continued. 
A. roseum (rosy). fronds, when young, rosy-tinted. A dwarf, 
garden variety. Greenhouse. 
A. schizophyllum (cut-leaved). sti. and rachises remote in 
varying degrees. /ronds numerous, with stoutish, conspicuous, 
ebeneous rachises; pinnules small, commonly minute, most of 
them deeply cut into narrow, lineate lobes. ‘sori small, lunate, 
sparingly produced in a perfect state. 1887. A seedling from A. 
amulum, Stove or greenhouse. 
A. tetraphyllum gracile (slender). A handsome variety, of 
moderate stature, remarkable for the beautiful reddish ‘tint 
assumed by the fronds when first developed. 
Fie, 2. ADIANTUM NOV&-CALEDONLA, 
basal pinnules ovate; pinnulets very small, shortly stipitate, 
slightly lobed, the terminal ones cuneate, the others mostly 
rhomboid. sori two to four to a pinnule, placed in a sinus of 
the marginal lobes. Stove hybrid. 
A. Pacottii (Pacott’s). A garden variety, of very dense habit, 
the pinnules overlapping each other to an uncommon extent. 
Greenhouse. 
A. rhodophyllum (rose-fronded).* fronds evergreen, triangular,

ones long-stalked, the upper ones with the pinnules next the 
rachis elongated and compound; pinnulets pedicellate, more or
