ADIANTUM NEO CALEDONIA, 
This beautiful Fern was sent out by us in 1885. In the Gardener^ s Chronicle^ June 9th, 1883, 
the late Mr. Thos. Moore says : “ This interesting new Maiden-hair Fern was exhibited at the 
recent Whitsuntide Show of the Royal Manchester and Northern Counties Botanical and 
Horticultural Society by Messrs. W. & J. Birkenhead, of Sale, and was awarded, as it well deserved 
to be, a first-class certificate. The species is a very distinct one, differing essentially from all 
its allies in the attenuated^ shape of the pinnules. In its general aspect this Fern somewhat 
reminds one of an Adiantopsis, the genus of which Cheilanthes radiata is the type, but on closer 
examination it is seen to be normally tripinnate and nob radiate as in this elegant species.'’ 
On the 12th of June, the same year, a FIRST-CLASS CERTIFICATE was awarded to it by 
the Royal Horticultural Society at South Kensington, and a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT at 
Regent’s Park, on the 13th of June, by the Royal Botanic Society.
