from the N. Iruncatum ( abrupt um) of gardens. It has a short erect caudex, with smooth green 
stipes. The fronds are large, lanceolate-ovate in outline, palish green in colour, of a firm membra-

PLEOCNEMIA LEUZEANA. 
This remarkably handsome stove Fern is of arborescent habit. The fronds are as broad as long, 
triangular, and tripinnate in the basal pinna;. The pinnules appear deflexed from being set on below 
the surface of the rachides, which thus appear raised and produce a kind of ridge and furrow appearance. 
The ordinary pinnules are cut into ovate or oblong-toothed lobes, the sinuses being reflexed, which 
gives a crisped appearance to the surface. The specimens now offered were imported from the 
Philippine Islands, but it is found also in India, China, the Moluccas, and in some of the Pacific 
Islands. 5s. and 7s. 6d.

SADLERIA CYATHEOIDES. 
A very handsome Tree Fern of moderate stature, introduced from the Sandwich Islands. The fronds, 
are bold and of coriaceous texture, the pinna; cut down to the rachis into numerous linear pinnules. 
The sori form a continuous lino on each side of the midrib, in the way of Blcchnum, to which genus it 
is closely related, differing technically in tho fact of the veins forming a series of costal arches. This, 
was one of the twelve New Plants with which Mr. AV. B. gained the First Prize at the International 
Horticultural Exhibition, held at Dundee in 1876. 1, li and 2 guineas.
