This is a charming variety, particularly pleasing on account of its light and graceful appearance, 
produced by the number of its minute pinnules. The fronds are about 18 inches long and 8 or 9 
across, the whole appearance being distinct and attractive. It is also a most valuable variety for 
cutting. — Vide illustration.

they“are“ also’much crisped and curled. The fronds grow erect, 8 to 12 inches high with smooth 
slender stipes, at first a deep crimson, changing to ebony black when mature.— illustration.

us in 1886. In the Gardeners’ Ghroyiicle of September 5th, 1885, the late Mr Moore gave a ful 
description of it, concluding his remarks with “ We regard it as one of the best of the ornamental 
group of Maidenhairs,”
