In the Section Trichomanes of Authors. 



Another interesting Fern in the pretty dwarf section Trich- 

 omanes of Authors. Most probably this is a rare species in 

 cultivation in Great Britain, as I have been unable to trace 

 it in any other collection than that of the Royal Gardens, Kew. 



A beautiful weeping Fern. An evergreen greenhouse species. 



A native of the Island of St. Helena. 



The fronds are slender, delicate, pendulous, and in form 

 lanceolate. Pinnate, the pinnse being membranous, oblong in 

 form, rounded at the apex, superior base rounded and sub- 

 auriculate, inferior base truncate, bluntly crenate on the margin. 

 Slightly petiolate. Rachis winged throughout. 



The fronds, which are terminal, are attached to an upright 

 fasciculate rhizoma.
