Adiantum — Dry. 



Intermedium — Intermediate. 



A handsome Adiantum, deserving a place in every collection, 

 its bold prominent sori and hirsute stems render this species 

 an interesting Fern. It is perhaps more generally cultivated 

 than growers are aware of, being sometimes seen under the 

 name of cristatum, occasionally that of varium and villosum, 

 although these species are very distinct from Adiantum inter- 

 medium by having continuous sori. 



Introduced into this country in the year 1824, and into the 

 Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1840. 



An evergreen stove species.
