LOMARTA AUSTRALIS. 



Length from twelve to twenty-four inches; colour rich dark 

 shining green. 



For a plant of this species my obligations are due to Mr. 

 Thomas Downs, of Ilfracombe; and for fronds to Mr. J. Smith, 

 of the Royal Gardens, Kew. 



It is in the Catalogues of Messrs. RoUisson, of Tooting, and 

 Kennedy, of Covent Garden. 



The illustrations are a barren and a fertile frond from a 

 plant in my own collection.
