For plants my thanks are due to Messrs. Booth, Nurserymen, 

 Hamburg; and Mr. Masters, of the Exotic Nursery, Canter- 

 bury.

There seems to be two forms of this Fern in cultivation, 

 that under the name of Davallia arborea being the handsomer 

 of the two. 



The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.
