ANEMIA COLLINA. 



Class. Order* 



CR YPTOGAMIA FIL ICES. 





We received this iu 1829 from our excel- 

 lent friend Mr. Otto, of Berlin, It is a 

 native of Brazil, and was first described and 

 figured by Raddi. It requires the heat of 

 a stove, and should be potted in sandy peat 



earth, sometimes increasing by separating 



the root. 



The inflorescence of this genus is pecu- 

 liar, consisting of two naked spikes rising 

 from the axils of the first pair of leaflets, 

 distinguishing it totally from every other 

 Fern. Thus from day to day are discover- 

 ed new and hitherto unknown forms among 



plants, while the works of the Almighty 



Creator display His Infinite Power and 

 Wisdom in interminable diversity of ways. 

 Surely these wonderful works are not heed- 

 ed in any proportion as they ought to be, 

 else with what grateful and admiring rap- 

 tures would our souls exclaim, " Oh, how 

 great is His Goodness 1 how great is His 

 Beauty !"
