126 POLYPODIUM CORONANS. 



Veins external, elevated, prominent, compound anastomosing, 

 and forming quadrate areoles. 



Stipes, rachis, and primary veins a pinkish brown. 



Sori oblique and uniserial, brown, oblong. 



Length of frond from two to three feet; colour a blue green; 

 length of pinnae about ten or twelve inches; width rather more 

 than an inch. 



As soon as the present species can be procured, it should 

 find its way into every collection. It will make a glorious- 

 looking exhibition plant; unfortunately it may be some years 

 before we shall be able to see it in ordinary collections. 



For a frond of P. coronans I am indebted to Mr. J. Smith, 

 Curator of the Royal Gardens, Kew. 



It is not in any Nurseryman's Catalogue. 



The illustration is from Mr. Smith's frond.
