Filix-mas 'j The Male Fern.— There are three distinct forms of, this Fein, all indiscriminately 
PROPINQUA V called “ The Male Fern.” On examination, the distinctive characters of each are 
PSEUDO-MAS ; apparent. 
Filix-mas : The fronds are of a bright pale green, and remain longer on the plant than those of 
the following named form. 
Propinqua : The fronds are pale green, but not so bright as the preceding, and it has a softer 
feel with it. The fronds also die down sooner. 
Pseudo-mas : This is a very handsome form. Its habit of growth is so symmetrical as to suggest 
the idea of a shuttlecock. Its fronds at their bases, and for some distance up, are thickly covered 
with rich brown scales. It is of a more leathery texture than the others, and of a deeper green. It 
not infrequently, when undisturbed for years, produces a stem like a dwarf Tree-Fern, and we have 
possessed plants with fronds 6ft. high.
