ALSOPHILA AUSTRALIS (Tree Fern) 
AUSTRALIA 
This spectacular fern has long been a favorite 
conservatory specimen. The common name is de- 
rived from the fact the fronds form a trunk as the 
plant ages. The graceful fronds give a tropical 
effect. Like all ferns it likes to be kept moist and 
well fed. Orchids grow well on slabs made from 
the trunk. A very useful adjunct for displaying 
orchids in the greenhouse or flower show. (See 
photograph, page 58.)
