OVER TRAIL AND THROUGH JUNGLE IN ECUADOR

GIANT EERNS OF THE ECUADORIAN JUNGLE 



Great banks of these plants thrive in the damp, dark shelter of the jungle, being similar 

 in appearance to some of our northern ferns, much enlarged. The graceful curves of the 

 fronds, the delicate detail of the smaller structures, and the refreshing greenness of their color, 

 all contribute to create a lasting impression upon any one who sees them at their best.
