Cultural Commendation. 
To W. B. Cranfield, Esq., Enfield Chase, for Athyrium Filix-foemina claris- 
simum. The fine plant exhibited was a division of the original plant upon which 
the late Mr. C. T. Druery, V.M.H., discovered the phenomenon of apospory. It 
was found by R. Moule in North Devon in 1868 and passed into the possession 
of the late Col. Jones. The fern is the rarest and one of the most beautiful of 
our native Athyrium family.
