There is a crumpled appearance about the pinnae of this 

 Fern, very different from most other species; the green of the 

 frond is also dull in hue, and the habit of the plant erect. 



Apparently a species requiring more than ordinary care in 

 cultivation. 



It appears to be best known amongst the Nurserymen and 

 Amateurs, under the name of Asplenium otites. 



An evergreen stove Fern. 



Native of the West Indies, Brazil, etc. 



It was first sent to the Royal Gardens, Kew, in the year 

 1841, having been received from the Eoyal Botanic Gardens 

 of Berlin.
