ASPLENIUM BRACHYOPTERUM 



Rachis and stipes channeled, terminal, adherent to an erect 

 fasciculate rhizoma. 



Length of frond from six to ten inches, pale green in colour, 

 and rooting at the apex. 



Sori oblong, solitary, having only one on each segment. 



This rare and rather expensive species may be procured of 

 Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting; Kennedy, of Covent Garden; 

 and A. Henderson, of Pine-apple Place. 



As yet, I have not procured a living plant of Asplenium 

 br achy opt erum. My thanks are due to Mr. G. Norman, of Hull, 

 for an excellent frond, from which the present illustration has 

 been taken.
