102 CIBOT1UM SCHIEDEI. 



de la Lnguna, by Schiede and Deppe, and at Jalapa by 

 Gallcotti. Liebmann says it is found in the warm temperate 

 regions of Mexico, at an elevation of from two thousand to 

 four thousand feet above the sea. 



Introduced by Mr. Hartweg, in 1846. 



Fronds spreading, wide, triangular, smooth, and bipinnate, 

 with small pinnules, lanceolate, acuminate, and thickly hirsute 

 with long fulvous hairs; segments ovate, serrate, beneath some- 

 what glaucous. 



Involucres from eight to ten on each segment, coriaceous, 

 tawny, and transversely-oblong in form. 



Veins simple or forked. 



Pinnse small, only three or four inches long, and ending in 

 a very narrow point. 



Stipes and rachis long, and very stout, brownish, and very 

 hairy, rising from a crown densely covered with long, silky, 

 shining brown hairs. 



Length of frond from six to ten feet; colour yellowish green 

 above, somewhat glaucous beneath. 



For fronds I am indebted to M. Schott, Director of the 

 Imperial Gardens of Schonbriinn, Vienna; Mr. J. Smith, Curator 

 of the Royal Gardens, Kew; and to Mr. Sim, of Foot's Cray. 



It is in the Catalogues of Messrs. Veitch, of Chelsea; Sim, 

 of Foot's Cray; Jackson, of Kingston; A. Henderson, of Pine- 

 apple Place; Rollisson, of Tooting; and E. G. Henderson, of 

 St. John's Wood. 



The illustrations are from Mr. Smith's fronds.
