130 POLYPODIUM COLPODES. 



In concluding the natural history of the Polypodium family, 

 there will be a number of species found figured which are 

 new to our British cultivators; they are, however, so beautiful, 

 and in most instances so distinct, that it has been desirable 

 to figure them at once, instead of reserving them for the 

 supplementary volume. 



For fronds of P. colpodes I am indebted to Mr. J. Smith, 

 Curator of the Royal Gardens, Kew, and to Messrs. Booth, 

 of Hamburg. 



This species may be procured of Messrs. Booth, of Hamburg. 



The illustration is from Mr. Smith's frond.
