HORTUS VEITCHII 



and remarkable for the size of the individual pinnules and for the graceful 

 pendant form of the frond. 



ADIANTUM EUBELLUM, T. Moore. 



Gard. Chron. 1868, p. 866; Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1870, p. 1. fig. 



Introduced from Peru through Kichard Pearce. A dwarf and compact 

 plant belonging to the Capillus-veneris section, characterized by a roseate 

 hue with which the young fronds are more or less decorated, and which 

 suggested the specific name. 



ADIANTUM SEEMANNI, Hook. 



Syns. A. Zahnii, Hort. 



Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1875, p. 10, fig. p. 2 ; Moore in Gard. Chron. 1875, p. 396 ; 

 PI. and Pom. 1876, p. 218, fig. 



A noble species of Maiden-hair, first exhibited under the name of 

 Adiantum Zahnii, but afterwards found to be identical with A. Seemanni, 

 described in 1851 by Sir William Hooker, from dried specimens collected 

 by Dr. Seeman at Veraguas, Central America ; introduced to cultivation 

 from the same locality through Zahn. 



ADIANTUM SULPHUEEUM, Kaulfuss. 



Gard. Chron. 1862, p. 399 ; Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1862, p. 12. 



A charming greenhouse Maiden-hair Fern with the whole under surface 

 of the frond covered with golden-coloured powder, as in several of the 

 Gymnogrammes and other gold ferns. Introduced from Chili through 

 Kiohard Pearce. 



ADIANTUM TINCTUM, T. Moore. 



Gard. Chron. 1862, p. 932. 



A beautiful Maiden-hair Fern from Peru, apparently closely related to 

 Adiantum concinnum. The fronds, however, appear to be only bipinnate, 

 the habit of growth quite different. It is especially remarkable for 

 the rose-red tint of the young fronds, approaching in outline the larger 

 forms of A. Capillus-veneris, but the fructification has no resemblance. 



ADIANTUM VEITCHIANUM, T. Moore. 



Moore in Gard. Chron. 1868, p. 1090 ; Veitchs' Catlg. of PI. 1871, p. 1, fig. 



One of the Peruvian introductions of Eichard Pearce, by whom it was 

 found at Mufia, in the Peruvian Andes. 



The young fronds are very beautiful, of a fine red colour, the mature 

 pale green.
