 of very _ ornamental ferns. The stove and 

 greenhouse species require, to grow them well, 

 a mixture of loam and peat. The hardy kinds 

 are well adapted for ornamenting rock-work, 

 or they may oe grown in pots, in light loamy 

 soil. All the species may be readily increased 

 by dividing the roots, or by spores. P. crassi- 

 f ilium is said to be sudorific and anti-rheu- 

 matic. In the Sandwich Islands, they use the 

 braised fronds of P. phymatbdes to perfume 

 the cocoa-nut oil. Synonymes: 1, P. sc&n-
