Mottet in Revue Horticole. Epiphytal Ferns.—While the majority of ferns have the fronds more or less finely divided, there are a good many in which, they are quite simple. A good prop6rtion of these is epiphytes, with rhizomes of a more or less creep- ing character. Numerous examples, all growing on dead tree fern stems, formed quite a feature of a group shown by H. B. May & Sons, of Edmonton, at the Horticultural Hall on January 21. The greatest puzzle to the uninitiated was a Davallia, D. heterophylla, which is as unlike the generally accepted idea of a Davallia as it is possible to be. It has a creep- ing rhizome, from which are produced spear-shaped, sterile fronds, each from .". inches to 6 inches, or thereabouts, in length, and of a deep-green coror. The fertile fronds are narrower, thicker and deeply notched. This distinct Davallia, which used to be included in the genus Humata, is a native of the Islands of the Malayan Archipelago, and needs a warm-house for its successful culture. Several of the polypodiums were also shown in, the same way, among them being P. lycopodioides, P. nitens. P. percussum, P. repens, P. vaccinifolium, P. squamulosum, P. piloselloides, and the following members of the genus Niphobolus, namely, N. rupestris, N. angustata, and N. heterachitis. All of these have simple fronds, for the most part small, and growing as they were on pieces of tree fern stem, were seen to great advantage.—Gardening Illus- trated.
