Culture. — As already intimated, this beautiful Fern can 
be grown most successfully under glass. It should be 
planted as nearly as possible in the horizontal position which 
it loves in a state of nature, and between fragments of rock, 
its crown well above the surface. It should have for its 
rootlets a soil of sandy loam and leaf mould, with portions of 
sandstone rock intermixed with the soil. Copy as nearly as 
possible the conditions provided by the dripping sea cave, and 
this elegant plant will thrive luxuriantly.
