Pla tyloma — Broad- edge . 



Ternifolia — Three-leafleted. 



A strikingly beautiful rather pendulous Fern, whose pin- 

 nules are so placed as to form hexagonal stars one above another 

 all along the frond. It is a dwarf species, and perhaps less 

 easily cultivated than the other members of this lovely family, 

 yet when properly managed makes a beautiful little plant, and 

 being so different in form and general appearance as to strike 

 any one who sees it with admiration. 



Received at the Royal Gardens, Kew, from Mr. D. Cameron, 

 in the year 1841. 



An evergreen stove Fern. 



Native of Mexico.
