No collection should be without this charming Fern. It is 

 elegant in form, and gains an increased beauty from the pen- 

 dulous habit. A good specimen is a most attractive object, the 

 fronds hanging all round the plant so as completely to hide 

 the pot in which it is planted. A commonly cultivated Fern, 

 and deservedly a universal favourite. 



Introduced into the Hoyal Gardens, Kew, in the year 1843, 

 by Mr. John Edgerley. 



An evergreen green-house Fern.
