POLYPODIUM VULGARE. 



Cambricum. And for fronds of the varieties to Mr. G. B. 

 Wollaston, of Chisselhurst. 



The coloured illustration is from a plant sent by Mr. Gray, 

 of Exeter; and the varieties are from fronds sent by Mr. 

 Wollaston, of Chisselhurst; and from plants in my own collection. 



The North American Fern, P. Virginianum, and the Madeira 

 Fern, P. canariense, are evidently forms of P. vulgare, whose 

 geographic range is very great. Plants of P. Virgmia7ium, and 

 P. canariense, were forwarded by Mr. Sim, of Foot's Cray. 



The following Nurserymen can supply plants of this species 

 and its varieties: — Mr. Veitch, of Chelsea; E. G. Henderson, 

 of St. John's Wood; A. Henderson, of Pine-apple Place; Pollis- 

 son of Tooting; Booth and Son, of Hamburgh; Parker, of 

 Holloway; Cooling, of Derby; Sim, of Foot's Cray; Bass and 

 Brown, of Sudbury, Suffolk; Kennedy, of Covent Garden; 

 Pearson, of Chilwell; and Mc'Intosh, of the Botanic Gardens, 

 Madeira.
