44 OLEANDRA NODOSA. 



Sori circular, uniserial, and irregularly scattered. 



The fronds articulated with the stipes, and at some distance 

 from the rhizoma. 



Length of frond twelve to fourteen inches; colour brilliant 

 green. 



Mr. Sim, in his new Catalogue, enumerates four species: — 



Neriiformis. Cavanilles. From ' Hirtella. Miquel. 



Natal. I Nodosa. Presl. 



Articulata. Presl. \ 



As some doubt yet hangs over these species, it has been 

 thought the wiser plan to figure the two species according to 

 Smith, leaving the further discussion and enumeration to the 

 Appendix, in order that the Author may have an opportunity 

 of seeing the living plants. 



Por fronds of this Eern my thanks are due to Mr. J. Smith, 

 of the Eoyal Gardens, Kew, and to Mr. Joseph Henderson, of 

 Wentworth. 



It is in the Catalogues of Messrs. Yeitch, of Chelsea; Sim, 

 of Foot's Cray; A. Henderson, of Pine-apple Place; [and 

 Booth, of Hamburg. 



The illustration is from Mr. Smith's frond.
