122 FERNS IN THEIR HOMES AND OURS. 



L. scandens (?) (Beddome, Ferns of So. India, PI. 61). This 



is the name applied to the species most frequently found 



in cultivation, and which is certainly one of the most 



beautiful. 

 L. Japonicnm, Swartz (Beddome, Ferns of So. India, PI. 64;, 



is often confused with the last. 

 L. dichotomum, Swartz (Hk. and G., Ic. Fil., PI. 55), is 



often united with L. flexuosum (Beddome, Ferns of So. 



India, PI. 63). The fronds of both these species are large, 



the pinnae being often a foot long.
