58 NOTHOCHLJSNA DISTANS. 



The length of the frond varies from six to ten inches, ac- 

 cording to the success of the cultivator. 



Adherent to a creeping rhizoma. 



The sori terminal, marginal, and becoming confluent. 



As yet I have been unable to procure a plant of this species. 



The only Nurseryman's catalogue in England, containing this 

 species, seems to be that of Mr. Kennedy, of the Bedford 

 Conservatories, Covent Garden. Abroad, it is in that of Messrs. 

 Booth, of Hamburgh. 



My thanks are due to Mr. Moore, the Curator of the Botanic 

 Gardens of Chelsea; Mr. Smith, of the Royal Gardens, Kew; 

 and to Mr. Norman, of Hull, for fructified fronds. 



The illustration is from a frond forwarded by Mr. Moore, of 

 Chelsea.
