SALVTNIA. (Commemorative of Antonio Maria 

 Salvini, a Professor at Florence. Nat. ord. Marsiliace^.) 



A flowerless, floating aquatic herb, for a tank or tub 

 in a stove or warm greenhouse. It produces three rows 

 of leaves on the branching stems, two rows of which are 

 sea-green, leafy, and float on the water, while the third 

 row consists of very deeply divided fibres that resemble 

 roots, and passing down into the water serve the purpose 

 of roots. The plant grows freely in summer, but in 

 autumn forms ball-like fruits, containing spores, amongst 

 the root-like fibres. When this takes place some soil 

 must be placed in the bottom of a deep pan and covered 

 with water. When the sediment has settled, some of 

 the fruiting Salvinia must be placed on the water, so 

 that when the leaves die away the spores may fall to the 

 bottom amongst the soil. Keep the pan full of water 

 all winter, and in spring the spores will germinate and 

 the young plants rise to the surface.
