FERNS 



ADIANTUM MACROPHYLLUM, Sw., var. GLAUCUM, T. Moore. 



Moore in Gard. Chron. 1875, vol. iii. p. 621, figs. 126 and 127. 



Imported both from Peru and New Grenada. 



As compared with the typical species, this form may be distinguished 

 by a pronounced glaucous-green hue, and by the narrower pinnae with a 

 strong tendency to be straight-edged. 



ADIANTUM MONOCHLAMYS, Eaton. 



Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1886, p. 9; Hooker's Sp. Fil. p. 125. 



A dwarf species of Maiden-hair Fern from Japan, closely allied to 

 the beautiful Himalayan Adiantum venustum, from which, however, the 

 dwarf habit and glaucous foliage are distinct. 



ADIANTUM MOOEEI, Baker. 



Syns. A. amabile, Moore. 



Baker in Gard. Chron. 1873, p. 811; Moore in Gard. Chron. 1868, p. 1090; PI. and 



Pom. 1872, p. 287, fig. 



Introduced through Richard Pearce from the Andes of Peru. 



Unfortunately the specific name amabile which Mr. Moore selected had 

 already been used by Liebmann for a Mexican species, and in the 

 2nd edition of Synopsis Filicum, Mr. Baker changed the name to Moorei 

 in compliment to Moore of Chelsea, who had done so much to elucidate 

 the nomenclature of Ferns. 



ADIANTUM PALMATUM, T. Moore. 



Moore in Gard. Chron. 1877, vol. vii. p. 40, fig. 5 ; Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1877, p. 20, 



fig. p. 4. 



One of the most beautiful and attractive of Maiden-hair Ferns, from 

 very high elevations on Chimborazo, South America : the fronds deciduous. 



ADIANTUM PERUVIANUM, Klotzsch. 



Gard. Chron. 1870, p. 457, fig. ; Hooker and Baker, Synop. Fil. ii. 35, t. 81 ; Veitchs' 

 Catlg. of PI. 1873, p. 10, fig. p. 3. 



A noble Maiden-hair first made known to science from specimens 

 collected in Peru by Ruiz and Pavon, later in the same locality by 

 Mathews, and introduced to cultivation through Richard Pearce. 



A remarkably handsome species, the fronds spread and hang gracefully 

 dependent as the boughs of a weeping willow. 



ADIANTUM PRINCEPS, T. Moore. 



Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1876, p. 18, fig. p. 4; Moore in Gard. Chron. 1875, vol. iv. p. 197, 

 figs. 43, 44; Fl. and Pom. 1877, p. 243, figs. 



Introduced to cultivation from New Grenada through Gustave Wallis,
