CRYPTOGAM1A FILICES. 



This pretty little fern is a native of Bra- 

 zil : we received it in 1830 from our friend, 

 Mr. Otto, of Berlin, and have kept it in the 

 stove, in which it appears to thrive. The 

 drawing was made in December. 



It should be potted in sandy peat, and 

 will occasionally increase by dividing the 

 roots.
