No. 142. 
DAVALLIA CANARIENSIS. 
Class. Order. 
CRYPTOGAMIA FILICES. 
This Genus has been named by the 
learned president of the Linnæan Society 
in honour of Mr. Daval, of Switzerland, 
whom the late Mr. Curtis often mentions as 
having contributed to his collection. It was 
originally called Trichomanes Canariensis, 
under which name Jacquin has given a good 
figure of it: it is a native of the Canary 
Islands. In England it has been long 
known; and the curious form of its root bas 
procured for it the appellation of Hare’s foot 
fern. Being not at all tender, a common 
greenhouse protection is all that it needs: 
a loamy soil suits it exceeding well. The 
mode of increasing it is by simply dividing 
the roots in the spring or summer.
