120 POLYPODIUM HAST-^EFOLIUM. 



The Fern has been very aptly named "hastsefolium." 



It appears to^be a delicate species, and somewhat difficult to 

 manage. 



The fronds are thick in consistency, and the veins very 

 apparent. 



For a frond of Polypodium hastcefolium my thanks are due 

 to Mr. J. Smith, Curator of the Koyal Gardens, Kevv. 



It is not in any of the Nurserymen's lists. 



The illustration is from Mr. Smith's frond.
