The Male Fern is of the easiest culture , of noble port, and a fine 
evergreen. Plant in light sandy loam (in the shade, if convenient). 
3Iany of the smaller varieties are highly interesting. In pot culture, 
give abundance of pot-room and water moderately .

278 — Nowelliana 31 . — this thoroughly permanent variety is of so extraor- 
dinary a character that one only moderately f amilar with the species 
would, on a first view, be puzzled to say to which type it belonged. 
Fronds 1^ to 2 feet in length and 4 to 6 inches in breadth, pinnae 
very narrow, pinnules extremely abbreviated, variously eroded and 
crenulated, often curiously hooked and horned. L. montana being 
well known as one of the least variable of species, so wide and 
permanent a departure from the type as the present is the more 
remarkable. A collection not embracing this marvellous sport 
would be wanting indeed. It is from North Wales, and was 
originally sent out from here 2s. 6d. to 
279 — subcrispa Stansf. 
280 — truncata W. 
Plant in loam (yellow loam is best), in a situation uniformly moist.
