This plant has the habit and general appearance of the Poly-podium vulgare of Linnaeus, except as regards colour, and theupper surface differs also in being frosted over with a diminutivewhite pubescence, giving it a velvety appearance. To Mr. J. Yeitch, Jun., of Chelsea, my thanks are due for aplant of this lovely Fern, and to Mr. J. Henderson, of TV^entworth,for fronds. Mr. J. Veitch, Jun., appears to be the only Nurseryman atpresent who has this Fern. The illustrations are from fronds off a plant in my own col-lection; the fertile frond from Mr. J. Henderson, of POLYPODIUM 2.
