Doryopteris — Spear-leaved Fern. 



Palmata — Palmate. 



The Doryopteris palmata is a most beautiful dwarf Fern, 

 not commonly met with in collections. It requires care in its 

 management, as it is a delicate species. Warmth and shade 

 are two essentials, and the plant must not have too much pot- 

 room.
