This very rare species is a noble Fern, and certainly no plant 

 can be more aptly named. In the Royal Gardens, Kew, there 

 is a handsome plant which receives general notice and admiration 

 from its singular growth. This Fern is commonly to be met 

 with in Catalogues, but unfortunately only the name, the species 

 sold being the Polypodium phymatodes; however, as several 

 Nurserymen have now procured it, those mentioned may be 

 depended upon as supplying it true to its name. 



An evergreen, exceedingly rigid species. 



A native of New Holland, Java, China, Manilla, East Indies, 

 Philippine Islands, and Molucca.
