to other plants, animals, or even to their environment.

M. hybrida (hybrid). #. white, sessile, congested; perianth 
tube glabrous or pubescent, the limb spreading. July. J. ovate-

MOHRIA. Frankincense Fern. M. caffrorwm is of 
yery easy culture: all that it requires in the way of 
soil is a mixture of about eqnal parts peat, ieaf- 
mould, and sand, with the addition of small pieces 
of sandstone or soft brick-dust. Syringing overhead 
must be carefully avoided, or it will cause the fronds to 
turn brown and decay in a short time. The plant is 
essentially a greenhonse subject, and should receive all 
the light possible. Propagation is readily effected from 
spores, which are abundantly produced, and which 
germinate very freely, producing young subjects in a 
remarkably short space of time.
