BRITISH AND EXOTIC. 


OSMUNDEAL, 


ComposeD of Osmunda and Todea, the latter genus of which 
will be reserved for the Appendix at the close of this volume. 
Two small families of interesting and handsome Ferns. 


GENUS IL. 
OSMUNDA. Linnzus. 


Fronps pinnate or bipinnate, with forked free veins. Fertile 
portion contracted,and forming simple or compound sporangiferous 
panicles. In some species the barren and fertile fronds are 
different, one set of fronds being sterile and the other fertile; 
in other species, where fertile and sterile on the same frond, the 
upper in some cases, and the middle in others only is fertile. 

Length of fronds from two to twelve feet. : 

A genus of plants delighting to grow in damp situations, 
usually on the banks of a river or brook.

Osmunda—Derivation dubious, probably from the Saxon Osmund. 
Oinnamomea—Cinnamon. 


An extremely handsome and very dissimilar species, worthy 
of a place in every collection. 


4 OSMUNDA CINNAMOMEA. 


A deciduous hardy Fern. 

Native of North America, Mexico, East Indies, and South 
America. 

Introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1772, having 
been received from Mr. Martin. 

Fertile and sterile fronds different, the barren fronds growing 
round an erect caudex, and being inclined at an angle of 45°, 
whilst the fertile fronds rise perpendicularly in a centre. 

Sterile fronds bipinnatifid, the pinne being oblong-obtuse. The 
fertile fronds bipinnate, and densely covered with a ferruginous 
mass of hairs, as is also the stem of the sterile frond. Pinne 
usually alternate. Frond narrow, being only seven inches and 
a half in the widest part, and narrowing to the apex. Width 
of pinne three quarters of an inch; usually about twenty-five 
pairs of pinne. 

Fertile frond erect, and twenty-six inches in length, of which 
twenty-three inches is naked. Sterile frond about thirty-three 
inches in length, the basal nine inches being naked. Mem- 
branaceous; colour a bluish green. 

Stipes and rachis green. 

Fertile portion, when mature, a rich reddish brown, which, 
in contrast with the stem covered with whitish wool, gives the 
plant a singular appearance. 

Veins forked. 

In order to show the habit of the plant a wood-cut 
illustration from a photograph is appended. 

For plants my thanks are due to the late Mr. Large, of 
New York, and to Mr. Sim, of Foot’s Cray; and for fronds to 
Mr. G. Norman, of Hull. 

It may be procured of any Nurseryman. 

The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.

making a handsome specimen under pot culture; requiring to 
be grown in a shady damp situation. 

A deciduous hardy species. Native of North America. 

Introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew, in the year 1772, 
by Mr. Martin. 

The fronds, which are bipinnatifid, grow somewhat erect. out 
of an erect caudex, the middle portion of the frond being 
contracted and fertile, having sterile pinne above, and this 
portion bending horizontally. 

The appropriateness of Michaux’s name of interrupta cannot 
be doubted, yet Linneus’s name of O. Claytoniana has priority 
in its favour. : 

In fronds thirty-two to thirty-three inches in length the 
basal ten inches is naked, above which are three pairs of 
pinne, which are sub-opposite, three inches and a half in 
length, distant, and occupying five inches above the stipes; 
then come the fertile pinne, about five pairs, occupying nine 
more inches of the frond, above which there are sterile pinnae, 
about eight or nine pairs, close together, touching each other, 
and occupying the remaining nine inches of the frond, and 
this upper portion being somewhat triangular in form. 

Stipes very hirsute, with long woolly pale red hairs. When 
the frond is entirely sterile it is not erect, but inclined at an 
angle of about 40°, bearing fifteen or sixteen pairs of pinne. 
Colour vivid green. Veins forked. 

The wood-cut illustration is from a photograph, and is intended 
to shew the habit of this exceedingly handsome Fern. 

For plants I am indebted to the late Mr. Large, of New 
York, and to Mr. Sim, of Foot’s Cray. 

It may be procured of any Nurseryman. 

The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.

distant; pinnules large in size, about six pairs on each pinna, 
with an ultimate larger one, and this ultimate pinnule frequently 
connected with one or both of the pinnules immediately below 
it. ‘The pinnules are short-stalked, and much larger than in 
O. regalis. 

Veins forked, and less distinct than in O. regalis. 

Stipes roundish, not hirsute, and green.

of an inch. 

The frond is fertile at the apex for the upper six inches. 

In O. regalis the base of the pinnules is not rounded, and 
the footstalk is not so apparent. ‘The plant is much larger, 
and has many more pinne, usually four times as many, and 
these are placed close together, but the pinnules are smaller. 
The rachis, stipes, and fertile portion, are very much more 
slender in O. gracilis, and its forked veins less prominent. 

Fronds ascending. 

For plants of this species my thanks are due to the late 
Mr. Large, of New York, and Mr. Sim, of Foot’s Cray.

The several families of the tribe Dicksoniee have the spo- 
rangiferous receptacles terminal, marginal, or punctiform, or 
when several are combined, linear-elongated. ‘The indusium is 
lateral, and attached interiorly, the exterior margin being free, 
and usually conniving with the opposite portion of the margin, 
(which is changed in texture,) forming a bivalved or tubular 
groove, in which the sporangia are situated. 

Amongst these Ferns are some of the most pigmy on the 
one hand, and some of the most gigantic on the other. 

Sir W. J. Hooker describes above four hundred species, and 
of these only three are inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland. 


HYMENOPHYLLUM.

GENUS I. 


HYMENOPHYLLUM. 


SMITH. 


A q@rour of dwarf Ferns, for the most part more resembling 
mosses than Ferns, two of which, H. Tunbridgense and H. 


unilaterale, are natives of Great Britain. 


They are all difficult 


to cultivate, which renders the foreign species rare in a living 


state in this country. 


The fronds are pellucid, membranaceous, simple, or decom- 
pound, with a creeping and mostly filiform rhizoma. 

Sori situated within a two-valved involucre. 

Veins dichotomously branched, being simple and costeform 


in the segments. 


The name is derived from the Greek, hymen—a membrane, 


and phyllon—a leaf. 


Known in England as the ‘‘Film Fern,” or ‘‘ Filmy Fern.” 
Sir W. J. Hooker gives eighty-five species in his ‘‘ Species 


Filicum,” namely,— 


Cruentum, Cavanilles, Chiloe.

Witson’s Firm FERN is a somewhat similar-looking Fern 
to Plate V.—B, darker in colour, and readily told from ZH. 
Tunbridgense by the form of the valves; in H. wnilaterale they 
are ovate and convex, and the margin is even; whilst in H. 
Tunbridgense the edge is spinulosely serrate, and the valves are 
rounder and flatter. 


20 HYMENOPHYLLUM UNILATERALE. 


More widely spread throughout England, Scotland, Ireland, 
and Wales, than H. Tunbridgense. 

Native also of Norway, the Faroe Isles, Bourbon, South 
Africa, ‘erra del Fuego, Cape Horn, Falkland Isles, ‘Tasmania, 
and New Zealand. 

Fronds smooth, pellucid, membranaceous, dark green in colour, | 
elongate-oblong, and pinnate. Pinne decurrent in the upper 
part, distinct below, curved backwards, and digitately pinnatifid. 
Segments linear obtuse, and spinulosely serrate. . ; 

Veins dichotomously branched. 

Sori extra marginal. Involucres turned in an opposite direc- 
tion to that of the segments. 

Valves ovate-oblong and convex, the edge entire. 


Rhizoma rigid, creeping, branched, filiform, and dark brown. 
Stipes slender and wiry; rachis narrowly winged above. 
Length of frond from two to six inches. 

Mr. Clowes remarks that the fronds resume their growth for 
several years, and that this is not the case with H. Tunbridgense. 

Mr. Gray, of St. Thomas’, Exeter, has forwarded to me plants 
of a branched variety, which is here figured as variety Ramosum, 
(see Plate VI.—B.) It is very handsome, the divisions being 
narrower, and the plant altogether more slender. ‘This species 
has a tendency to become branched. 

My thanks are due to Mr. R. J. Gray, St. Thomas’, Exeter; 
Miss Millett, of Penzance; Mrs. Delves, of ‘Tunbridge Wells ;~ 
and Mr. Clarke, gardener to W. Dent, Esq., Crosby Ravensworth, 
for plants of this species. 

It may be procured of any Nurseryman. 

The illustrations are from plants forwarded by Mr. Gray.

SwakTz. Hooker. WILLDENOW. 
PLATE VII.-—A. VOL. VIII. 
Hymenophyllum—Membrane-!eaved. Hirtellum— Hairy. 


A BEAUTIFUL Trichomanes-looking plant, rare in cultivation. 

An evergreen stove species. 

Native of Jamaica. 

Fronds ovate-oblong in shape, slightly acuminate, thin, pel- 
lucid, membranous, arching, and from two to three inches wide. 

Tripinnatifid, with linear, slightly attenuated, closely-placed 
segments. 

Hairy, and more especially on the costa and margin; hairs 
branched and fulvous. Stipes slightly winged, wiry, and hairy. 

Involucres ovate-orbicular in form, somewhat obliquely cuneate 
at the base, and partially sunk in the frond, and broader than 
the segments, the valves ciliated. Fronds elastic.

Fronds soft, flexible, much elongated, narrow oblong, apex 
truncated, habit pendulous; primarily pinnatedly divided, and 
more especially below; pinne lanceolate, approximate, obtuse 
cuneate at the base, laciniato-pinnatifid, yet not profoundly so; 
frond everywhere ferrugineo-sericeous, that is, densely clothed 
with rusty hairs, hence its name. 

Stipes brief and filiform. 

Veins forked, close, parallel, and lamellated. 

Involucres small, and situated on the apices of the ultimate 
segments; orbicular, sunk, and very hirsute.

296 HYMENOPHYLLUM SERICEUM. 


Length of frond from twelve to twenty-four inches, breadth 
three or four inches; the pinne decayed below whilst fresh and 
healthy above. : 

The whole of this family and that of Trichomanes require 
growing in a moist shady situation. The soil must be very 
fibry and spongy peat, to which a small quantity of silver-sand 
should be added. Two inches of this compost is sufficient, 
the remainder of the pot being entirely drainage material. ‘The 
soil should rise above the brim of the pot, and the plants be 
pegged down upon it. Place the pot in a glazed saucer-pan, 
and cover with a hand-glass. ‘The plants must be always kept 
moist, but not stagnant. Keep the glasses clean, and wipe 
them dry. Under this treatment beautiful specimens may be 
grown. 

Mr. Sim has obligingly sent me a series of fronds of this 
species. 

It may be procured of Mr. Sim, of Foot’s Cray.

A most beautiful, half-hardy, indigenous species. 

Native of Ireland, growing in the counties of Cork, Kerry, 
Waterford, Wicklow, etc.; and formerly Bellbank, (twelve 
miles from Bingley,) Yorkshire. ‘The variety Andrewsii at 
Iveragh, Ireland. 

Also found in Jamaica, Martinique, Brazil, Mexico, Vera 
Cruz, Xalapa, Tobasco, Esmeralda, Sandwich Isles, Owhyhee, 
Oahu, Nepal, Teneriffe, Madeira, Azores, Canaries, Sikkim, 
Bootan, Mergui, Alabama, Panama, New Grenada, Venezuela, 
Galapagos, Society Isles, and Equador. 

Fronds glabrous, triangularly elongate, apex more or less 
attenuated; tri-quadripinnatifid, segments entire, linear in form, 
or bluntly bifid. Pellucido-membranaceous. 

Rachis winged, and decurrent on the stipes. 

Stipes copiously covered with dark hair-like scales. 

Sori solitary, and situated in the axils of the upper segments; 
extra marginal. 

Indusium cylindrical. 

Veins branched from the main rachis; in the fertile segment 
the vein is continued beyond the margin, and forms the recep- 
tacle, whilst in the barren segment it does not reach the 
margin. 

Length of frond from six to twenty inches; colour olive 
green. 

Rhizoma perennial and creeping; elongated, tomentose with 
small dark-coloured hairs. . 

The stipes is from a fourth to half the length of the entire 
frond. 


This species is known as the Bristle Fern. 


TRICHOMANES RADICANS. 43 


‘The -variety Andrewsi is very distinct, having long narrow 
fronds, lanceolate-ovate in form, the primary divisions narrow, 
and, as well as the secondary ones, more distant than in the 
normal form. Involucres immersed, and the receptacles much 
elongated. Weare indebted to Mr. William Andrews, of Dublin, 
for the discovery of this handsome variety; he found it in the 
year 1842, at Iveragh, Ireland. 

Trichomanes radicans was found at Bellbank, by Bolton, in 
the year 1758, and he remarks that it was plentiful in this 
station; it is now unfortunately only a habitat of days gone by. 

In Jamaica, in woods, observed by Swartz, Bancroft, and 
Purdie. In Brazil, according to Raddi, Forbes, Macrae, Scouler, 
Gardner, Sinclair, and Vautier, the variety Andrewsi appears 
to occur, bearing fronds from six to eighteen inches in length; 
a similar form exists in the Forest of Esmeraldas, El] Equador, 
according to Colonel Hall. In the Azores, Dr. Hochstetter and 
Mr. H. C. Watson discovered it at an elevation of from two to 
three thousand feet above the level of the sea. 

This Fern, in a wild state, grows on damp shady rocks, and 
delights to be within the spray of a waterfall. Under proper 
cultivation it can be made to be even more handsome than when 
growing in its own wild habitat; on the other hand, under 
inperfect cultivation, it is an unsightly Fern. It must be borne 
in mind that the fronds live three or four years, and in the 
case of barren fronds some have been known to keep green 
and fresh as long as ten years; it is therefore desirable that 
they should not be subject to injury. 

Mr. Joseph Henderson, of Wentworth, has both the normal 
form and the variety Andrewsit growing in magnificent luxu- 
riance; indeed those who have seen it in its wild state, say 
that the Wentworth specimens eclipse them. Mr. Henderson’s 
plan is to grow it under a large hand-glass, the top only of 
which lifts off, by which means the plant can be examined 
without injury to the fronds in taking off and putting on the 
hand-glass. ‘The fronds entirely fill the space allotted to them, 
like a dense miniature forest. With my own plants I have 
followed a similar plan; the plants are potted in large saucers, 
on pieces of broken crock and freestone, with a slight portion 
of vegetable mould and silver-sand, below which the saucer 
had been previously well drained, and upon this drainage a 


44 . TRICHOMANES RADICANS. 


layer of sphagnum moss had been laid; this saucer is then 
placed within a larger one, and the latter filled several inches 
deep with water, so as to form a canal of water round the 
plant, upon the whole of which is placed a square hand-glass, 
opening at the top, and having several holes, in order to carry 
off the superfluous moisture. By this means the plant is always 
properly damp, and yet no amount of vapour remains on the 
sides of the glass; were it to do so, young fronds touching the 
sides would rapidly decay. Before I used this plan my fronds 
were always turning a blackish colour, even when quite young; 
now the fresh greenness is retained with them all, and even 
those that were discoloured, have in part regained their 
greenness. 

The creeping almost black hirsute rhizoma attaches itself to 
the stones, and over the edges of the saucer, in the manner of 
ivy. ‘This plant requires shade as well as moisture to induce 
a healthy growth, and will either flourish in a stove or 
greenhouse—the latter appears to be its favourite. climate. 

Dr. Forbes Young shewed me plants growing on the rocks 
in his stove fernery under the shade of large Ferns and climb- 
ing plants, without any covering over it, and they appeared to 
be in excellent condition. 

Mr. Moore mentions that “Mr. Calwell, a very successful 
grower of this species, received in the spring of 1843 a 
small portion of rhizoma with one partially-developed frond, 
and another just appearing, and this was placed within a bell- 
glass, about fifteen inches in diameter. In December, 1846, it 
had quite filled the glass, and was removed into a case, three 
feet ten inches by two feet six inches, and three feet four inches 
high. The space beneath for about twelve inches in depth, was 
filled with up-turned flower-pots, charcoal, cocoa-nut husks, and 
light earth and peat. ‘The plant, in 1852, had filled this case 
also, having about two hundred and thirty fully-developed fronds, 
of from fourteen to twenty inches in length. When removing 
it to the case, in 1846, five or six fronds which had been in- 
jured by contact with the glass, were cut away, but since that 
time, up to 1852, not one of the fronds then existing, nor any 
of those subsequently formed, had shewn any symptoms of 
decay.” It will thus be apparent than this Fern is, from its 
great beauty, as well as from the durability of its fronds, worthy 


TRICHOMANES RADICANS. 45 


of the slight extra trouble attending upon its proper management. 

The Hymenophyllums glory in a similar treatment. 

Introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew,*in_1793. 

For plants my thanks are due to Mr. William Andrews, of 
Dublin; Mr. James, of Vauvert; and to Mr. Joseph Henderson,

90 DAVALLIA POLYPODIOIDES. 


Davallia—In honour of Edmund Davall, a Swiss Botanist. 
Polypodioides—Polypodium-like, 


In THE Section MicroLEPIA OF AUTHORS. 


AN ornamental large Fern. 

An evergreen stove species. 

Native of Asia, Ceylon, East Indies, Madras, Assam, Nepal, 
Singapore, Java, China, Brazil, Oahu, New Holland, ‘Tovay, 
Luzon, Khasiya, Polynesia, Fernando Po, Penang, and Am- 
boyna. 

We are indebted to Mr. G. Norman, of Hull, for introducing 
this species, he having received it from the continent. 

Fronds ample, triangularly-elongate, tripinnate, and flaccid; 
pinnules oblong-acuminate, segments membranous, roundish, and 
deeply pinnatifid; base decurrent, margin bluntly crenate; pri- 
mary pinne distant. 

Fronds lateral, very hirsute, especially on the veins and 
costa beneath. 

Rhizoma creeping. 

Length of frond thirty-five to fifty inches; colour a grass 
green. 

Sori large, mostly solitary on the entire lobes, and having 
several on the pinnatifid ones. 

Sir W. J. Hooker describes four varieties, namely,— 

Subglabra.—Fronds nearly glabrous. 

Pubescens.—F ronds pubescent, with close short down. 

Hispida.—Fronds hairy. 

Rhomboidea.—A much larger Fern. It is the Davallia rhom- 
boidea of Wallich, and Microlepia rhomboidea of Presl. 

Introduced into England in 1826. 

For plants of this species, and the variety Rhomboidea, I am 
indebted to Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting, and Mr. R. Sin, of 
Foot’s Cray; and Veitch, of Chelsea. 7 

The illustrations are from Mr. Sim’s fronds.—An engraving 
of a pinna of a Variety is given at page 92.

In this genus are the families of Sitolobium, Balantium, and 
Dicksonia,; all large Ferns, having veins simple or pinnate, and 
terminal sori. Some of the species are arborescent, growing to 
a great height. 

Mr. Smith, in his “‘Catalogue of the Ferns grown at Kew,’ 
gives the following:—

Thus Sir W. J. Hooker describes fifty-ones species, eleven of 
which are inserted doubtfully. 

In the countries where the arborescent Dicksonias grow they 
are quite a feature, and indeed very useful, for New Zealand 
travellers make them their hotels, sleeping under the shadow 
of their fronds, and spreading their blankets upon cut fronds. 
It is necessary to consider for a moment how gigantic these 
Ferns are, rising to the height of from thirty to forty feet, 
and then spreading their branches in every direction to the 
distance of forty or fifty feet from their arborescent trunks, 
capable of affording shelter to a regiment of soldiers if 
necessary. 

The Dicksonias are not the only large Ferns: the Cyathea 
dealbata, for instance, to be hereafter described, rises on a 
trunk fifteen feet high, and is perhaps the most magnificent 
of all Ferns,—singularly delicate in appearance, and the fronds 
covered beneath with a white or glaucous farina; then again 
the genus Angiopteris, the “Prince of Ferns,’’ the somewhat 
similar-looking Marattias, etc., some of which are cultivated in 
this country, and will pass under our notice. 

The Dicksonias are greenhouse or stove Ferns, with one 
solitary exception, from the United States and North America. 
We have, consequently, no British example. Perhaps the 
Dicksoma antarctica might live in the open air in the west of 
England, as in its native climate snow rests upon its fronds, 
and it has to withstand somewhat severe frosts, although they 
are only of short duration.

120 DICKSONIA CICUTARTA. 


Native of the West Indies, Tropical and South America, Brazil, 
Mexico—at an elevation of from two to four thousand feet— 
Jamaica, Cocos Island, Guayaquil, Guatemala, and Peru. 

Raised from spores in the Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1834, 

The fronds, which are glabrous, are triangularly- elongate in 
form, spreading, and tripinnate. 

The pinne and pinnules triangularly elongate-acuminate, 
with flat, oblong, somewhat pinnatifid lobes, rounded at the 
apex, crenate on the margin, and decurrent. 

Rachis, costa, and veins glabrous, or hairy. 

Sori globose, exserted, and produced as little cups on the 
apices of the venules, the special and accessory indusium about 
equal and forming a reflexed calyciform cyst, containing the 
spore-cases. 

Fertile segments contracted, and having a very elegant 
appearance. 

Rhizoma creeping.

Dicksonia—Named after James Dickson, a British botanist.

‘THis magnificent species is a universal favourite, wherever 
grown or exhibited it is certain to attract universal attention. 
A large and rapid grower, easily cultivated, and requiring little 
or no care, provided sufficient room is allowed for the expan- 
sion of its fronds, and the plant is liberally supplied with 
water: all fast- growing Ferns require abundance of water, 
most of the large species growing wildly in moist and boggy 
situations. ' 

An evergreen warm greenhouse species. 

Native of New Holland, ‘lasmania, and Australia. 

Introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1824, by Mr. 
A. Cunningham. 

Fronds glabrous, coriaceous, lanceolate in form, sub-tripin-

nate, and drooping; pinne and pinnules_linear-lanceolate, 
rigid, and profoundly pinnatifid ; segments ovate, very acute, 
and inciso-serrate. 

Sori confined to the lower pinne, globose in form, and 
produced on the apices of the venules, small in size, but 
numerous. Indusium coriaceous. 

Veins pinnate; venules simple, direct, and free. 

Stipes brief, and, as well as the rachis, covered with hair- 
like ruddy scales. 

Fronds terminal, adherent to an arborescent caudex or trunk, 
rising to the height of about thirty-five feet. 

Fronds very large, from six to twelve feet in cultivated 
plants in England, and much larger when growing in their 
native countries. Colour a rich, shining, dark green, paler 
beneath. | j 

There are some very fine specimens at His Grace the Duke 
of Devonshire’s seat, at Chatsworth; at Earl Fitzwilliam’s 
seat, at Wentworth, Yorkshire; others at the Royal Gardens, 
Kew, the Crystal Palace, etc. The specimen at Wentworth 
is of very great size. In Tasmania it gives so great a feature 
to the landscape where it eae as to merit the appellation 
of the “Fern Valley,” 

The magnificent BE at cWeabvou House, was sent to Mr. 
Joseph Fue ioc from Australia, rather more than twenty-five 
years ago; the caudex was then little more than two feet long, 
and the plant had on one small frond, which it had recently 
made, all the fronds having been cut off previous to transporta- 
tion from its native country to its destination. Mr. Henderson 
can form no idea as to the age of the plant, as it might have 
been sixty, eighty, or a hundred years old before it left Aus- 
tralia. ‘The plant has thrived well since it was deposited in 
the Fern house at Wentworth, and the height of the caudex 
is now four feet and a half, and the girth three feet from the 
surface of the tub—in which it grows—is three feet. The 
length of the longest frond is eleven feet, and the width, from 
point to point of the opposite pinne, three feet two inches. 

The number of fronds upon the tree is fifty-six. ‘This plant 
covers an area of eighteen feet six inches in diameter, which 
is a circumference of no less than fifty-five feet six inches. It 
is a noble specimen, and well worth a long journey to behold. 


DICKSONIA ANTARCTICA. 127 


I may here remark that there exists a very fine collection 
of Ferns at Wentworth, under the able management of Mr. 
Joseph Henderson, a gentleman who for many years has made 
this branch of Cryptogamic botany his favourite study, and who 
is noted for his kindness to those who feel a desire to see the 
collection, or who wish for information on any subject connected 
with it. I myself am specially obligated for much valuable 
information, as well as many plants and fronds: indeed, the 
present work is largely indebted to Mr. Henderson, for the 
kind assistance he has rendered from time to time. 

For a plant and fronds my thanks are due to Mr. Joseph 
Henderson, of Wentworth. 

It may be procured from Messrs. Veitch, of Chelsea; Sim, 
of Foot’s Cray; Rollisson, of Tooting; E. G. Henderson, of 
St. John’s Wood; A. Henderson, of Pine-apple Place; Stansfield,

There is so much difference of opinion amongst Botanists — 
regarding Alsophila, Cyathea, and Hemitelia, that different Au- 
thors place them in a different genus; thus the Hemitelia 
Hostmannt of Hooker is Alsophila Hostmanni of. Smith, and 
the Hemitelia horrida of R. Brown is the Cyathea horrida of 


Smith. 


Mr. Moore places many of them in Alsophila and Am- 


plicosmia; perhaps some day they will all be united in one 


genus.

PERHAPS the present species is the handsomest Fern as yet 
introduced into Great Britain. Rising on a trunk to the height 
of from ten to fifteen feet, it is crowned above with a splendid 
tuft of fronds, which are pure white beneath from the copious 
glaucous farina. We have recently mentioned the King of Ferns, 
and Cyathea dealbata may aptly be called ‘The Silver-King.’ 

Mr. Edgerly mentions that, like C. medullaris, this Fern is an 
article of food with the natives of New Zealand. 

C. dealbata is easily cultivated, and should be grown in every 
collection where room can be given it to expand its beautiful 
silvery-powdered fronds. 

The sori is another feature of beauty, being reddish brown 
and dotted amongst the white powder of the under surface, it 
is a conspicuous object. 

It is only to be met with in a few. of our best collections, 
and there it is universally admired, for it is a noble species, 
graceful in habit, and remarkable in foliage.

The fronds, which are bipinnate, and sometimes again pinnate 
at the base, are glabrous, and somewhat lanceolate in form; 
pinnules narrow, lanceolate, acuminate, and profoundly pinnatifid; 
segments falcate and serrated. 

Sipe: scaly and muricate, and more especially so at the base; 
rachis covered with ferruginous deciduous down. 

Fronds terminal, adherent to an erect caudex or trunk. 

Veins pinnate; venules direct and free. 

Sori copious, placed midway between the costa and the mar- 
gin; involucres globose, membranaceous, and rising from a raised 
receptacle. 

Length of frond from five to seven feet; colour a bluish green 
above, and very glaucous beneath. 

Humboldt, in his “Views of Nature,” mentions that “ Ernst 
Dieffenbach saw in the most northern of the three Islands of 
New Zealand, trunks of Cyathea dealbata rising to the height 
of forty-two feet and a half.” 

For fronds my thanks are due to Mr. Joseph Henderson, of 
Wentworth; Mr. J. Veitch, Jun., of Chelsea; Mr. Smith, of the 
Royal Gardens, Kew; Mr. Moore, of the Glasnevin Gaia 
Dublin; and Mr. Sim, of Foot’s Cray. 

It may be procured of Messrs. E. G. Henderson, of St. John’s 
Wood; Messrs. Veitch, of the Exotic Nursery, Chelsea; Sim,

176 ALSOPHILA CAPENSIS. 


Native of the Cape of Good Hope, Java, Brazil, and Organ 
Mountains. 

Introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1845, by Mr. 
Zeyher. 

The fronds, which are glabrous, are ovate-lanceolate in form, 
and triplicato-pinnate; pinne lanceolate, acuminate, profoundly 
pinnatifid, (almost to the! base;) segments acute, falcate, mem- 
branaceous, and serrated. 

Stipes scaly at the base; rachis sparingly scaly. 

Fronds terminal, adherent to an erect arborescent caudex, 
which rises to the height of twelve or fourteen feet. 

Veins usually simple, in rare cases forked; and dark coloured. 

Sori cylindrical, much elevated, mostly solitary, and situated 
at the base of the lowest vein on the upper part of the 
segment. 

Length of frond from forty to forty-five inches; colour light 
green. 

Very frequently the pinne undergo a remarkable change on 
the lower part of the stipes, forming abortive pinne, brief, (from 
three to four inches long,) many times multifid, with narrow 
membranaceous hyaline segments, having a rigid costa, and 
so resembling a Trichomanes growing parasitically on the A/- 
sophila, that Kaulfuss named it Trichomanes ? cormophyllum. 

There is a variety known as var. polyantha, which bears from 
four to six sori on each segment. 

For fronds my thanks are due to Mr. G. Norman, of Hull, 
and to Mr. Smith, Curator of the Royal Gardens, Kew, 

It may be procured of Messrs. Veitch, of the Exotic Nursery, 
Chelsea, and of Mr. R. Sim, of Foot’s Cray.

Native of South Africa. 

Received into the Royal Gardens, Kew, from the Royal 
Botanic Gardens of Berlin, in 1841. 

Fronds bipinnate, narrow, equal in width, except near the 
apex and base; pinne entire, laciniated, or multifid, the fer- 
tile pinne usually contracted or sub-contracted. Pinne opposite 
or sub-opposite, distant below, approximate above. 

Veins free and direct. 

Sporangia sessile, nearly globose in form, opening vertically 
on their exterior side, and forming a raised border of 
rounded prominences along the edge of the frond on the 
under side. 

Rhizoma short and creeping briefly. 


198 MOHRIA THURIFRAGA. 


Stipes and rachis very scaly; scales reddish. Leafy almost 
to the base. 
Length of frond from twelve to twenty-four inches. 


The fertile fronds are longer than the sterile ones, and the 
contraction of their lobes over the seed-masses gives them a 


very elegant appearance. 


There is a variety known in gardens as Mohria achillefolia, 


named after the Yarrow, (Achillea millefolium,) the barren — 
fronds of which it much resembles: this is dwarfer in habit, 
being only from six to nine inches in length, the barren 
fronds shortest and spreading, the fertile ones erect. A rare, 
lovely Fern. ¢ 

For plants I am indebted to Mr. D. Moore, of the Glasnevin

LYGODIUM PALMATUM. 


SwarRTz. Scukunr. Moore. J. Smita. 


Pure LXSly... VOL. Vil. 
Hydroglossum palmatum, WILLDENOW. 


Ingodium—From lygodes—flexible, in allusion to the twining habit of 
the plants. Palmatum—Hand-shaped. 


AN interesting, very slender, climbing Fern. 

A greenhouse or half-hardy species. 

Introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1845, by Dr. 
A. Gray. 

Native of North America. 

Sterile fronds smooth, brilliant grecn, and conjugate; pinne 
palmate, four to six-lobed in the barren portion, that is, 
the lower portion of the frond; the lobes oblong-obtuse and 
somewhat crenulate. 

Fertile fronds contracted into small spikes; segments linear. 

The fronds, which are palmate, that is, divided into five 
finger-like parts, are much more dwarf than in the majority 
of this genus. 

Roots creeping every way in an intricate mass. 


Length of frond from twelve to thirty-four inches.

PLATE LXXVII. VOI. VIII. 
Gymnotheca laxa, Prest. Dz VrigsE. Moore. 


Marattia—Named in honour of J. F. Maratti, a Tuscan botanist. 
Lava—Large. 


A RATHER coarse-growing, lax-habited Fern, distinct in ap- 
pearance from the other Marattiaceous Ferns introduced to 
cultivation. 

An evergreen stove or greenhouse species. 

Native of the temperate regions of Mexico. 

Introduced to English gardens about six or eight years since, 
and a few years earlier to continental gardens. | 

Stem forming a thick, short, and fleshy trunk or root-stalk, 
as in the other species; which is invested with the stipule-like 
scales at the base of the stipites. 

Fronds large, stipitate, the lamina about three feet in length, 


990 MARATTIA LAXA. 


bipinnate, deltoid-ovate in outline, somewhat fleshy in texture, 
of a dull dark green, paler beneath. The pinne are opposite, 
oblong, and from twelve to eighteen inches long. The pinnules 
are broadly lance-shaped, acuminate, the lower ones cordate at 
the base; the fertile ones crenate or sinuate at the edges, and 
the sterile ones irregularly serrated: they are all remotely 
veined. 

Sori placed near the ends of the veins in a line along each 
edge of the pinnules, the spore-cases shortly ellipsoid, bilobed, 
the lobes at length spreading. 

Stipites from twelve to twenty-four inches long, and scaly in 
the lower part. 

A rare Fern, of considerable bulk, interesting in a collection, 
but hardly to be placed among the more elegant and effective 
species. 

For fronds I am indebted to Mr. Smith, Curator of the Royal 
Gardens, Kew. 

It can be procured of Messrs. Veitch, of Chelsea; Rollisson, 
of Tooting; and Sim, of Foot’s Cray. , 

The illustration is from Mr. Smith’s frond. 


ADDENDA TO THE EIGHT VOLUMES. 


Tue following synonymes have not been included with the 
different species in the several volumes, and are therefore ap- 


pended here. 


The page added at the commencement of each 


addition represents the species described on that page; thus, 
vol. i, p. 3, will have reference to Gymnogramma chrysophylla. 
In several instances additional habitats have been included.

Sir W. J. Hooker considers 
that the S. Krehsii of Kunze 
is an abnormal form of Lo- 
maria punctulata. I have 
therefore included the synon- 
ymes Scolopendrium Krebsii 
of Kunze, ete., Onychium 
Krebsii of Kunze, and Blech- 
num Atherstoni(?) of Pappe 
and Rawson, which will really 
belong to the S. Krebsii, vol. v. 

137 Blechnum Gilliesii, Moore. 
Sir W. J. Hooker, after pro- 
found research on the species 
Lomaria procera, has come to 
the conclusion that the L. 
Gilliesii, L. procera, and L. 
Capensis of this work are 
forms of the same species. I 
therefore include under the 
head Lomaria procera, these 
additional synonymes for these 


Ferns.

CONCLUSION. 


Ir is necessary to say a few words to the subscribers in 
concluding a work extending over a number of volumes, as, 
in course of progress, plans become somewhat changed, and 
alterations take place that were not thought of at the com- 
mencement of the work. It was intended to publish a large 
Glossary at the conclusion, but the Addenda to the different 
volumes has extended the work beyond the prescribed limits, 
and it was thought desirable that the Glossary should give 
place to the Addenda. 

In conclusion, I must offer my most hearty thanks to those 
gentlemen who have so kindly afforded me assistance in the 
present undertaking, both by supplying me with plants and 
fronds, and also with works and information on the subject, — 
and in doing so I must more especially mention the great 
obligations I am under to Sir W. J. Hooker; Mr. Thomas 
Moore, of the Botanic Gardens, Chelsea; Mr. Joseph Henderson, 
of Wentworth; Mr. J. Smith, the Curator of the Royal Gardens, 
Kew; Mr. Moore, of the Glasnevin Gardens; Professor Balfour, 
of Edinburgh; * Mr. Norman, of Hull; Mr. Clarke, of the 
Glasgow Gardens; Mr. Veitch, Jun., of Chelsea; Mr. Sim, of 
Foot’s Cray; Mr. Rollisson, of ‘Tooting; and Mr. E. Cooling, of 
Derby. ‘There are many more to whom my thanks ought to 
be given, and, although not mentioning them personally, to 
each and all who have rendered me assistance I beg to return 
my grateful thanks. 

The difficulty in determining imperfectly-known species, 
(especially where_the author has not the advantage of reference 
to the specimens of the different authorities,) is very great; 
botanists must therefore welcome as a great boon the valuable 
works now publishing on the subject, namely, ‘“‘‘The Species 
Filicum” of Sir W. J. Hooker, and the “Index Filicum” of 
Mr. ‘LThomas Moore. ‘These works, as far.as they have already 


CONCLUSION. 239 


progressed, have been almost universally adopted, and for this 
reason the Addenda has become larger than it otherwise would 
have been. 

Since the commencement of the work a variety of New 
Ferns have been introduced into cultivation in this country, 
and these have now been described and figured in an addenda 
to the present work, entitled ‘‘A Natural History of New 
and Rare Ferns.” 

The author’s endeavour, in publishing a work on Ferns, has 
been to describe as faithfully as he was able, the different 
Ferns cultivated in the gardens, greenhouses, and stoves, of 
Great Britain, and to give this information with coloured 
illustrations in a very cheap form (considering the expense of 
- the plates) to the public, leaving the deep study of the subject 
to the valuable works, already quoted, of Sir W. J. Hooker 
and Mr. Moore.
