4 ASPLENIUM MONANTHEMUM. 



attached to a slightly tufted rhizoma. The frond seldom 

 exceeds ten inches in length. 



A native of South America, the "West Indies, Mexico, Peru, 

 and the Cape of Good Hope. 



It is an evergreen greenhouse species. 



This is a rare Fern in cultivation, although not a difficult spe- 

 cies to grow under ordinary care, making a compact interesting 

 plant. It does not appear to be included in the Nurserymen's 

 Catalogues. 



I am indebted to Miss Kingston for the loan of very good 

 fronds, and also to Mr. Henderson, of Wentworth, for others. 



The illustration is from the frond sent bv Mr. Henderson.
