Of the Polypodiums, the P hexagonopterum, a good companion plant to the oak and beech fern, is well acclimatized. The P. Braunii is perfectly hardy. The Pteris scaberula (fig. 884) lives in my outdoor exotic fernery, but has not flourished. It grows vigorously when planted out for the summer, and is most elegant. I exhibited a plant treated in this way at one of the meetings of the Horticultural Society, which delighted the lovers of ferns, and which received thp special certificate of the Society. The common Pteris serrulata has survived many years of intense frost, and the P. rotimdifolia (fig 883 a) is far more beautiful out of doors than when grown in confinement, but yet will not stand the severest Fig. 884.—Pteris scaberula. B'IG. 885,—Lastrsea Standishii. Fig. 884 rt.—Asplenium goldia- num (var. pictum). Of foreign Lastraeas or Nephrodiums, L. curvata, L. Opaca or L. varia, L. Sieboldii, and L. patens, all stand the severest winters ; and of these L. curvata is particularly vigorous. There is a very fine plant from Japan, L. Standis/tii (fig. 885), which will live out of doors, but perhaps does better in a cold greenhouse. The two Woodw:ardia^, W. orientalis and W. radicans, have lived with me many years, nevertheless the fronds have every winter been cut down by frost. I do not doubt that in Devonshire and Cornwall.
