. The book of choice ferns for the garden, conservatory. and stove : describing and giving explicit cultural directions for the best and most striking ferns and selaginellas in cultivation. Illustrated with coloured plates amd numerous wood engravings. Identification; Ferns. CHAPTER XXVII HYPODERRIS, Brown. (Hyp-od-er'-ris.) F this genus only two species are known ; they are closely allied to Woodsia, but may be distinguished at first sight by their comparatively large size and robust habit, and botanically by their having a conspicuously-reticulated venation. In Hooker's " Synopsis Filicmn" Hypoderris forms Genus 10, and is placed between Onodea and Woodsia. The name is derived from hyi^o, under, and derris, skin, in reference to the indusium (covering of the sporangia), a portion of which is buried under the sori (spore masses). The fronds, produced from a short rhizome (prostrate stem) of a woody nature, are either undivided or three-lobed. The sub-globose sori are disposed in lines or series parallel with the secondary veins, and usually scattered over the whole surface of the under-side of the fronds ; they are furnished with a membranous, parchment-like involucre in the form of a calyx and fringed on the margin. Culture. The Hypoderrises are Ferns of easy culture, thriving well in a warm temperature and moist atmosphere. The compost which they prefer consists of one part of fibrous loam, two of peat or partly-decayed leaf-mould, and one of silver sand ; and although attaining larger dimensions when grown.
