Pteris multifida, 



Poibet. 



Pteris — Brake. 



Serrulata — Saw-edged. 



Pteris serrulata may be said to be the most common exotic 

 Fern known in England. It requires no care or trouble in 

 its management, and young plants from spores spring up in 

 all the Fern-pots in the houses where it is grown, so as 

 to constitute itself a troublesome, yet pretty exotic weed. 

 Even in collections of plants where Ferns are not grown, the 

 P. serrulata may be found thrusting itself into the notice of 

 every one. A very singular looking species, and well worthy 

 of cultivation.
