96 AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
Quite aside from this, Mr. Maxon called the attention 
of the members to a series of herbarium specimens of 
beautiful tropical ferns not now in cultivation, and which 
possess elements of marked beauty, surpassing many of 
those now in the trade. Species of Anemia, Elapho- 
glossum, Polybotrya, a miniature tree fern from Cuba 
of perfect proportion, but like an umbrella in size, were 
among the specimens shown. It is Mr. Maxon’s hope 
that on some of his future trips to the tropics he may be 
able to make arrangement for the introduction of some 
of these plants. 
Following the informal meeting, the members met in- 
formally for supper.
