98 ASPLENIIJM ZAMI^FOLIUM. 



Length of frond from twelve to fifteen inches; colour dull 



green. 



Stipes covered with scales, the stem being black to where 

 the pinnae commence, above which it is green. Terminal, and 

 attached to a somewhat erect rhizoma. 



Sori of great length, being nearly that of the pinnae, eventually 

 becoming confluent. 



Only to be met with in good collections, although introduced 

 into this country thirty-six years ago. 



I have not yet procured a plant of A. zamicefolhim. 



It is not in any of the Nurserymen's Catalogues. 



For fronds I am indebted to Dr. Hooker. 



The illustration is from a frond forwarded by Dr. Hooker.
