Overview
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1857 Excerpt: ...It is distinguished from Lomaria in the sporangia being seated in the immediate axis of the indusium, (in which respect it resembles Pteris, ) whilst in Lomaria the receptacle is broad, and occupies a great portion of the space between the midrib and the axis of the indusium. Onychium--A claw.-Lucidum--Shining. A Beautiful, slender-looking, yet vigorous-growing Fern, requiring as little management as possible, and producing a large and handsome plant, if afforded abundant pot-room. Easily propagated, both by divisions of the creeping rhizoma and from spores, young plants coming up in all the pots in its neighbourhood. An evergreen warm greenhouse or stove species. A native of the East Indies and Nepal. Received at the Eoyal Gardens, Kew, in the year 1844, from Mr. H. Lowe. The fertile fronds are glabrous, slender, with remote pinnae, the pinnules triangular in form; segments small, linear-acuminate, and very narrow. The sterile fronds are glabrous, slender, somewhat triangular, tri-quadri-pinnate, the pinnules being also triangular; segments long, and the apex dentate. Both fronds are lateral, and adherent to a creeping rhizoma. The sterile fronds are usually a foot in length, and the fertile ones fifteen inches; a plant in my collection has fronds much larger, most of them from two feet to two feet and a half. The stipes a foot in length, and bright green in colour. Sori linear, continuous, extending along each segment, but neither reaching apex nor base, eventually becoming confluent. For plants of this species I am indebted to Messrs. A. Henderson, of Pine-apple Place Nursery, and to Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting. It is in the Fern Catalogues of Messrs. Veitch, Jun., of Chelsea; Masters, of Canterbury; Rollisson, of Tooting; A. Henderson, of Pin..
