PLATE XIX. VOL. III. 



Adiantum — Dry. 



Fulvum — Tawny. 



An interesting Fern, with sori very much resembling the 

 Adiantum Cunninghami, whilst the plant itself is strikingly 

 distinct. Most probably it is very rare in England, as I am 

 not aware that it is in cultivation anywhere except at Kew. 



An evergreen greenhouse Fern. 



A native of New Zealand, where it has been found growing 

 abundantly by Dr. Sinclair, Dr. J. D. Hooker, Mr. Raoul, and 

 Mr. Colenso. 



The fronds are ovate-deltoid, sub-pedately tri-quadri-pinnate, 

 the secondary pinnae being of a lanceolate-acuminate form; 

 pinnules small, chartaceous, sub-glossy, glabrous, dimidiato- 

 oblong-obtuse, obliquely wedge-shaped at the base, broadly 

 cultriform, superior base truncate, superior margin and obtuse
