AN ENUMERATION OP CULTIVATED FERNS. 287 
Obs. — O n receiving this plant, it accorded so well with the 
Indian specimen of P. obliqumn, which led to that name being 
inserted at p. 149, but the plant grew out of its imported form ; 
and if the Indian pl;,nt (which has not yet been introduced) 
should assume the character of this by cultivation, then this 
name must become a synonym. 
The introduction of this species is due to Mr. Richard Oldham, 
the last special collector of plants sent out from Kew, who, 
after remaining three years in Japan, visited Formosa, where 
his health failed. He returned to Amoy, and there died in 
November, 1864.
