This very lovely pendulous species is not common in. cul- 

 tivation, being only found in the more complete collections of 

 Ferns. It is deserving of a place in every Fern-house. The

 shewn to great advantage. 



It is a widely-spread Fern, being a native of the West Indies, 

 Central and South America, Caraccas, Guayaquil, Chacapoyas, 

 Peru, Mexico, Gallipagos, Jamaica, St. Vincent Island, Vene- 

 zuela, and the Andes of Quito. 



It is an evergreen stove species. 



The length of the frond varies from one to two feet, and 



about eight inches broad in the widest part.
