TODEA (LEPTOPTERIS) SUPERBA. 
Any attempt at description must fall far sliort of conveying an adequate notion of the exquisite 
beauty of this lovely Fern, which is unquestionably one of the most handsome yet known. It should 
be seen to be justly appreciated. 
lhe fronds, which are 15 to 18 inches in length, arc of a pleasing green, of transparent texture and 
of a lanceolate outline, spreading, beautifully arching and feathered down to the very base ; the pinna; 
are crowded and cut into narrow segments, which, instead of lying flat, as in Todca pdluada, are 
turned upwards, giving the frond a frilled surface, and producing an effect distinct from that of any 
Fern in cultivation. For illustration, vide page 137. 
This is probably the most beautiful of all the dwarf-growing New Zealand Ferns. Fine imported 
plants, 1, li and 2 guineas. 
TRICHOMANES RADICANS. 
(THE IRISH BRISTLE FERN OR KILLARNEY FERN.) 
This is a British species, but it must, as far as culture is concerned, be included among the green- 
house kinds, as it is almost impossible to succeed with it if treated as an ordinary hardy Fern. 10s. 6 d.

PALMS, CYCLANTHS AND CYCADS. 
Including ENCEPHALARTOS, MACROZAMIA, &c. 
llic Palms constitute the most noble family in the vegetable kingdom, and afford 
sufficient diversity of character to allow of selections being made from them for the 
greenhouse, stove, or conservatory, to either of which Palms impart a richer tropical 
appearance than any other plants. Some of the miniature dwarf-growing kinds are, 
from their light and graceful forms, admirably adapted for table decoration, for vases! 
or for almost every purpose in which ornamentation is desired. The more hardy and 
larger kinds can be used for sub-tropical gardening, to which they impart a most 
luxuriant grandeur, evidence of which has been given at Battersea Park, and in other 
places where Palms have been used.
