Pohjpodium — Polypody.

An interesting dwarf creeping Fern, very suitable for growing 

 in a suspended basket. I believe that it has never fructified 

 in England. 



It is a species easily grown, and from its rapid growth soon 

 forms a handsome plant. 



It was- introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew, in the 

 year 1843, having been sent by the late J. Riley, Esq., of Pap- 

 plewiclv, near Nottingham, a gentleman, who, in his day, had 

 a very fine collection of Ferns. At Mr. Riley's death, the col- 

 lection passed into the hands of Dr. Forbes Young, who grows 

 Ferns successfully. 



An evergreen stove Fern. 



A native of Brazil and St. Catharine's Island. 



Best known as the Phlebodmm squamulosum.
