Dejlexum — Bent down. 



In the Section Goniophlebium of Authoks. 



The Polypodhmi dejiexum seems to be more generally cul- 

 tivated than most other species in the section Goniophlebium, 

 yet in many instances the true name is unknown. Amongst 

 the names which it has been made to bear, P. hulhosum may 

 be mentioned, yet for what reason I am at a loss to say, and 

 indeed where this name has been first found, appears quite as 

 difficult to determine. It is a Fern easily grown, and one which 

 flourishes under ordinary management. 



A Brazilian Fern. 



Introduced into England in the year 1830. 



An evergreen stove species.
