40 NOTHOCHLCENA TENERA. 



good is gained by giving a plant more room than is absolutely 

 required. 



Nothochlcena tenera is a native of Chili. 



This Fern is by no means an expensive species. It is in the 

 catalogues of Mr. R. Sim, of the Nursery, Foot's Cray, Kent; 

 Messrs. Booth, of Hamburgh; Mr. E. Cooling, of Derby; 

 Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting; and Messrs. Backhouse, of York. 



I am indebted to Mr. Henderson, of Wentworth; and to 

 Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting; for plants of this Fern. 



The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.
