Illustrated with coloured plates amd numerous wood engravings. Identification; Ferns. CHAPTER XXXI, LINDSAY A, " Dryander. (Liiid-say'-a.) LTHOUGrH but poorly represented in European gardens, yet this is a somewhat extensive genus, comprising about fifty species of very handsome, stove and greenhouse Ferns, the habitats of which are mainly confined within the tropics. They form a distinct tribe {Lmdsayeoe, named after Archibald Lindsay, an English botanist of the last century), which is distinguished by the disposition of the sori (spore masses) : these are placed in a line at, or very near, the edge of the frond, and are provided with an involucre (covering), the inner valve of which is membranous (parchment-like), the outer (obsolete in Bictyoxifliium^ the only other genus belonging to the tribe) being formed of the margin of the frond. In Hooker and Baker's "Synopsis Filicum" Lindsay a (commonly called Lindscea) forms Genus 20. Most of the species have one-sided leaflets of a somewhat pellucid (transparent) though leathery texture, approaching in shape a quarter of a circle. Lindsayas are readily distinguished through the sori, marginal or nearly so, being placed at the summit of and uniting two or more veins, and through their being furnished with a double involucre opening outwardly. According to their characters, the plants forming this genus are divided into five distinct sections as follow : DiELLiA (Di-eF-li-a), Brackenridge. In this section, which is almost exclusively composed of species from the Sandwich Islands, the sori, not.
