Asplenium — Spleeuwort. 



Germanicum — Of Germany. 



A DWARF and very rare British Fern, growing on rocks at 

 an altitude of from three hundred to a thousand feet above 

 the sea-level, and requiring, under cultivation, a porous soil 

 with stone. The roots require to be moderately moist, and 

 the plant itself moderately dry. A bell-glass with holes at 

 the top will prevent water from injuring the fronds, and still 

 keep the plant sufficiently moist.
