A stove species, native of New Caledonia, producing from a wide-creeping rhizome its ample fronds, which are four times divided nearly to the midrib and furnished with closely-set, short-stalked, spear-shaped leaflets less than lft. long. The leaflets are again divided into close and almost stalkless, spear-shaped leafits, and these are in their turn cut into segments that are wedge-shaped on the lower side at the base, the lowest being deeply cleft into oblique, blunt lobes. The fronds are of a somewhat leathery texture, dull green in colour, and finely wrinkled, especially below. The edge of the fertile segments is revolute, and the spore masses reach to the midrib.âHooker, Synopsis Filicum, p. 480. P. sagittataâsag-it-ta'-ta (arrow-shaped). This is synonymous with Pellwa sagittata. P. (Doryopteris) sagittifolia-Dor-y-op'-ter-is; sag-it-tif-ol'-i-a (arrow-fronded), Raddi. This very pretty and thoroughly distinct, dwarf- growing, stove species is a native of Brazil, and, according to Lowe, was introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1841. Its sagittate (arrow-shaped) fronds, 4in. to Gin. long from the top of the stalk to their extremity and 2in. to 3in. broad, are borne on naked, blackish stalks 4in. to 6in. long and of a polished nature â they are entire, but furnished with two basal lobes which are triangular and sharp- pointed (Fig. 82 and Coloured Plat
