The present genus appears very distinct from all others; 

 the long wiry rhizoma is a marked character, and from the 

 rapidity with which the rhizoma grows, and the great number 

 produced, this genus is perhaps more readily propagated than 

 any other. It is easily cultivated, and when grown in wide 

 shallow pans, a fine specimen may be speedily procured. 



The species Davallioides is the most magnificent in the 

 genus, and calls forth universal admiration; Undulata is a 

 pretty Fern when successfully grown, whilst the well-known 

 Exaltata and Pectinata are both worth careful cultivation as 

 exhibition plants. 



To grow these Ferns successfully, drain well, give abundance 

 of pot-room, and a rich compost.
