D. parvula is an exceed- ingly pretty dwarf growing species for a warm greenhouse. D. Mariesii is the species used in making up "Fern ; It is decidu- ous and should be kept moist enough in Winter to prevent the rhizomes from shrivelling. D. pallida {Mooreana) is a desirable plant for house decoration, but is not grown in quantity, owing to the difficulty of getting up a large stock within a reasonable time. Those in a starved condition make the best stock plants. Propagation. Spores sown in a mixture of moist sphagnum, sand and leafmold grow readily. The large plants while dormant may be divided.
