Sori marginal, the indusia membranaceous, shallow cup-shaped, 

 exserted, and stipitate. 



Stipes at the base covered with long red scales. 



Rhizoma stout, covered with dark coloured scales, and 

 creeping. 



Length of frond from fifteen to thirty inches; colour very 

 pale green. 



Each vigorous frond is viviparous near its point. 



The margin of the fertile frond being fringed with stalked 

 sori, the plant has a very attractive appearance, looking as if 

 surrounded by a row of small fungi. 



For fronds my thanks are due to Mr. J. Smith, of the Eoyal 

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



The plant may be procured of Mr. Sim, of Foot's Cray. 



The illustration is from Mr. Smith's fronds.
