For further particulars of these varieties, the reader is referred 

 to the excellent account in Lindley and Moore's "Nature-printed 

 Ferns." 



My thanks are due to Mr. WoUaston, of Chisselhurst, for a 

 plant of the variety Collina. 



The species is common enough to be procured anywhere. 

 The varieties Nana, Collina, Dumetorum, and Schofieldii, can 

 be procured of Mr. Sim, of Foot's Cray. 



The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.
