J^otices of new and beautiful Plants. 413 



seems remarkable that so little attention has been paid to the in- 

 troduction of the ferns, especially in gardens which are fur- 

 nished with belts of trees. They are of peculiar beauty and 

 easy culture, and serve to give variety to those borders in every 

 garden where most plants will not thrive. Our indigenous ferns 

 are worthy of attention in this capacity, whether we consider the 

 miniature arborescent appearance of Pteris aquilina, the delicate 

 beauty of Dicksonm pilosiuscula, the stiff pinnae of Osmunda 

 cinnamomea, or the pretty ebony stripe of t^splenium melano- 

 caidon. Whoever has taken cognizance of these curious vege- 

 tables in their native localities, must have been struck with their 

 elegance.
