Polypodium Mandaianum Seedlings. This variety differs 

 from the type by the pinnae being curled and twisted on the

 specimen and on account of its peculiar glaucous blue fronds and 

 its hardiness as a house plant in which it is not surpassed by any 

 other makes it especially valuable for decorative purposes.
