 IPTERIS CALOMELANOS. 



Class. Order. 



CR YFTOGAMIA FILWES. 



This beautiful Fern is a native of the Cape 

 of Good Hope : we received it in 1830 from 

 our excellent friend Mr. Otto, of Berlin. 

 It appears to be of low and slender growth, 

 and sparingly increased. We have hitherto 

 preserved it in the stove, but from its na- 



r 



tive place it may be supposed to thrive very 

 well in a cooler temperature. It should be 

 potted in sandy peat soil.
