The present Fern appears to have. spread itself into collections 

 from Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting. It is a handsome species, 

 and very unlike Polypodium irioides, of Poiret, except in its 

 fructification. Some of our best botanists consider it as only 

 a variety of P. irioides; however this may be, it has been 

 deemed advisable to figure it. 



Fronds simple, ensiform; apex attenuated, sometimes bifid; 

 margin of the frond straight, instead of the irregular lobes, 

 as in P. irioides. Fronds hanging nearly horizontal, (not erect, 

 like P. irioides, and with much fewer scales than in that species.) 

 Consistency not so fleshy and stiff, nor so yellow in colour as 

 P. irioides.
