PTERIS TREMULA GRANDICEPS. 
This handsome greenhouse Feni, which is well adapted to become a very useful one for decorative 
pmiJoses, is a hybrid between Pteris tnnmUi and P. sernilnta cristata. The plant fonns a dense 
tuft of evergreen fronds of an elegant semi-dependent character, an appearance which is chiefly 
induced by the graceful manner in which the ends of the fronds and pinnules are crested and tasselled. 
The apex of the fronds is divided into a crest made up of four or five principal divisions and munerous 
multifurcations, the pinnee and piimules also tei-minating in narrow apices. Tlie crests are flattish 
and fimbriately tasselled. The plant is free in growth, and of most attractive appearance. Is. Gd.

TODEA (LEPTOPTERIS) SUPERBA. 
Any attempt at description must fall far short 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. Tlie fronds which are fifteen to eighteen inches in length, are of a 
bright green, of tran.sparent textiu'e and of a lanceolate outline, spreading, beautifully ai-ehing and 
feathered dowi to the very base ; the pinnse are crowded and cut into narrow segments, which, instead 
of lying flat, as in Todea hijiiienophylloides, are tmiied u])wards, giving the fronds a frilled surface, and 
producing an effect distinct from that of any Feni in cultivation. This is probably the most beautiful 
of all the dwarf-growing New Zealand Ferns. 2.''. 6(7. , 3s. 6(7. and 5s. Fine strong plants, 10s. 6(7., 15s.
