44 ADIANTUM WILSONI. 



Fronds lateral, adherent to a creeping rhizoma. 



Length of frond twelve inches. Colour of frond dark green 

 above, paler beneath. The sterile fronds broader. 



A difficult Fern to grow successfully, requiring much care, 

 and a porous stony soil. 



It can be procured from Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting; and 

 Mr. Sim, of Foot's Cray. 



My thanks are due to Mr. Sim, of Foot's Cray, for a plant; 

 and to Sir W. Hooker, and to Mr. Sim, for fronds. 



The illustration is from a frond sent by Sir W. Hooker.
