ADIANTUM TETRAPHYLLUM GBACILE. 
A handsome stove Fern, sent by one of my collectors from the United States of Colombia It is o) 
moderate stature, and remarkable for the beautiful reddish tint assumed by its fronds .when firsi 
developed, and continuing until they are fairly expanded. Tlio fronds are bipinnate, on slender blacl 
stipes, arching over elegantly at the top, and dividing into from four to six linear pinnae. Iho rec

an elegant mode of growth. 7s. Gd. ;
