One Lindsaea is grown with us, the L. cultrata (fig. 900a), from the north of India. The genus Adiantum has numerous species, some of which are among the loveliest ornaments of the fern-house. Many species adorn my fernery. A. reniforme (fig. 901), from Madeira, is a little difficult to grow ; it probably requires more air and less moisture : its kidney- shaped leaves are remarkable. A. trapeziforme, from tropical America,. Fig. goo.—Davallia bullata. Fig. 901.—Adiantum reniforme. Fig. gcon.—Lindsaia cultrata. has fine large fronds ; it requires the warmest end of the house : this is a fine fern, and cannot be dispensed with. A. cultratum is a desirable variety: when the new fronds unfold, the edges are red. A. phttadac- tylon is another desirable variety of this fern. A. intermedium, from tropical America, is also grown. A. formosum, from Australia and New Zealand, is a bold-looking fern, and looks well as a large plant; it is a fine and common fern for a greenhouse. A. macrophyllum, from Mexico, has its fronds, when in the growing state, beautifully coloured with red. A. Capillus-Veneris, although distributed all over the world, must never be excluded from a fernery. A. concinmim is another rather common.
