. 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 IV CASSEBEERA, Kaulfuss. (Cas-seb-ee'-ra.) N"LY three species, all of Brazilian origin, are embraced in tliis small genus, known as Genus 26 in Hooker and Baker's " Synopsis Filicum," and the name of which is of obscure derivation. The plants are closely related to the better-known Cheilanthes, some of which are also by some authors called Cassebeeras. The distinctive characters of the genus reside in the sori (spore masses) being terminal on the veins, sub-globose (nearly spherical) or oblong, not reaching beyond the branches of a single vein; also in the involucre (covering of the spore masses) being inserted distinctly within the margin, and separate from it, of the same shape as the sorus, and pressed down upon it. Culture. All three species require stove treatment, and the soil which suits them best is peat of a sandy nature, allowing a free passage to the water, wliich should be liberally administered to the roots. Species. C. gleichenioides—glei-che-ni-o-i'-des (Grleichenia-like), Gardner. This very distinct and peculiar Fern, with the habit of a Gleichenia, is a native of the Diamond District, Brazil. Its singular fronds, 6in. to 9in. long and borne on stout, erect, polished stalks Gin. long, are bipinnate (twice divided to the midrib) ; they are furnished with linear leaflets lin. to 2in. long, of a leathery texture, and borne on distinct, short Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Schneider, George.
