This desirable Fern is not so generally cultivated as might 

 have been supposed, when it is considered that it has been in 

 this country during the past fifteen years. It seems to be 

 an easily cultivated species under ordinary Fern management. 



It appears to be the Goniophlehium latipes of gardens, but 

 not the G. latipes of Langsdorff and Fischer, which is a distinct 

 species. 



It was first introduced into the Hoyal Gardens, Kew, in the 

 year 1841, having been received from the Royal Gardens of 

 Berlin.
