History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2194. Adiantum. From ethctvret, dry. In vain you plunge the Adiantum in water, says Pliny, it always 
remains dry. The prettiest of all ferns, on account of the delicate slender stalks on which the pinnules are 
balanced in the air ; one species on this account is called Capillus Veneris, or in English, Maiden's Hair. 
2195. Cheilanthes. From ;t;£'^o?5 a lip, and ctv^o;, a flower, in allusion to the lip-like form of the indusium. 
Pretty plants, formerly referred to Pteris. 
2196. Davallia. Named by Sir James Smith, after his friend M. Davall, a Swiss botanist, who sent him large 
collections of plants. D. canariensis is popularly called the hare's-foot fern, on account of the peculiar form 
of its rootstock, which curves over the side of the pot in which it grows, and, being covered with close brown 
hairs, resembles very perfectly the foot of a hare. 
2197. Dicksonia. In honor of the late Mr. James Dickson, a celebrated British cryptogamic botanist. A 
noble genus containing several arborescent species, among which the tree-fern of St. Helena is placed. This 
plant is often brought in a living state to this country, but the mode of cultivating it being unknown, it rarely 
survives more than a few months. 
2198. Balantiujn. A genus of Madeira ferns, divided from Dicksonia by Kaulfuss, on account of its trans- 
verse two-valved indusium ; and named from l?.a,Xoi.<i-rtav, a purse, on account of the form of the indusium.
