This fine new Fern is a hybrid between Aspleniuvi nidus and Scolopendrircni crispuvi. that can be called an actual garden hybrid, for most new plants of this class that are introduced are either species that are found in various parts of the world, or natural chance hybrids which usually originate in most ferneries without design. This new Fern, however, partakes very thoroughly of the habits and characteristics of both its parents, the Bird's-nest Fern and the crested hardy Scolopendrium, and is really the first species in a new and distinct genus.
