Hymenolepis — Covered with rind or liusk. 



Spicata — Spiked. 



So dissimilar is Hymenolepis spicata from other Ferns, that 

 it deserves a place in every collection. The linear-lanceolate 

 form, with the abruptly contracted linear upper half of the 

 frond, give the idea of a frond with a stem above as well as 

 below. A very rare Fern. 



An evergreen stove species. 



Native of the Malayan Archipelago, Java, etc.
