%% GYMNOGRAMMA CHCEROPHYLLA, 



it is readily produced from spores. Care should be taken to 

 sow this species in the pot in which it is intended to be cul- 

 tivated, as it is a precarious plant to be transplanted. 



A rich light soil, with abundance of washed sand appears to 

 suit this Fern; when nicely managed a very ornamental and 

 delicate looking specimen may be produced. 



It is a stove Fern. 



The fronds are decompound, triangular, semitransparent, and 

 of a brilliant green colour, usually attaining a height of six or 

 eight inches, occasionally, however, it may be grown larger. 

 Some beautiful plants which I received from Mr. Henderson, of 

 Wentworth, were fourteen inches high, the fronds being devoid 

 of pinnse for half this length, and were from four to six inches 

 across in the widest part. It has roundish -ovate pinnatifid 

 pinnules, which are deeply toothed on the edges, being wedge- 

 shaped at the base. 



The fruitful fronds are upright, the pinnules of which are 

 very much contracted. The fructification is copious, becoming 

 confluent and covering the whole frond. 



G. ch(Broj)1iylla, can be procured of Messrs. Henderson, of 

 Pine-apple Place; and Backhouse, of York. 



The illustration is from a plant kindly communicated by Mr. 

 Henderson, of Wentworth.
