Polypodium — Polypody. 



Subauriculatum — JSTearly eared. 



In the Section Goniophlebium of Authors. 



When well grown the Polypodium subauriculatum is a truly 

 magnificent Fern, being strikingly distinct from all others. Its 

 very long slender fronds and weeping habit, give it a remark- 

 able and pleasing appearance. A rather delicate Fern. There 

 is a magnificent plant in the Royal Gardens, Kew, and another 

 fine specimen at Wentworth. 



A stove species: an evergreen herbaceous Fern. 



Introduced at Kew in 1848. 



From Java and Luzon. 



The fronds are pinnate, lanceolate, and slender, the pinnae 

 being long, narrow, membranous, and lanceolate-acuminate in 

 shape; the pinnae are articulated with the rachis, serrated on 

 the edges, and sub-auriculate at the base.
