A GRACEFUL pendulous Fern, with broad handsome fronds; 

 easily grown and well worthy of universal cultivation. The 

 substance of the frond is very thin; it consequently requires 

 great care in the drying and pressing of the fronds for the 

 herbarium. 



A native of Brazil. 

 . An evergreen stove species. 



The form of the frond is broadly lanceolate, pinnate, the 

 pinna3 being lanceolate-acuminate, nearly entire, undulated, and 

 membranous; the superior base truncate, whilst the inferior base 

 is adnate. The upper pinnae sessile. 



The upper surface of the frond has small white scales scat- 

 tered over it.
