linear end segment, and three or four distant pairs of sessile pinnae, many of them being forked at 
the base. These segments are entire, about one-sixth of an inch broad, and beautifully variegated 
throughout, with close lanceolate white teeth, extending from the midrib nearly to the edge, 
forming a striking contrast to the dark green ground colour ; the sterile fronds have broader and 
shorter segments. Extremely elegant in growth, this pretty New Fern cannot fail to become a
