42 ASPLENIUM RECLINATUM. 



The length of the frond twelve inches, rooting at the apex, 

 and its colour a heavy green. 



Asplenium reclinatum was introduced into this country in the 

 year 1847. 



This Fern does not appear to be described in the works of 

 Presl, Kunze, Kaulfuss, Fee, Link, or Smith. 



The A. reclinatum requires in its cultivation a similar treat- 

 ment to the other members of the section TricJiomanes of As- 

 plenium. It will, however, require more pot-room than the 

 dwarfer species of this section. 



A dif&cult species to procure, as it is not in any of our 

 Nurserymen's Catalogues. 



My thanks are due to Sir William Hooker, who kindly sent 

 me a frond of this species. 



The illustration is from Sir William Hooker's frond.
