Text Appearing Before Image:
yellow in colour asP. irioides. 6S POLYPODIUM INTEGRIFOLIUM. E-hizoma creeping. Fronds crowded. Length of frond eighteen inches; breadth in widest part twoinches and a half. Sori diminutive, numerous, thickly scattered over the upperhalf of the frond. Veins internal and scarcely to be seen. My thanks are due to Messrs. Kollisson^ of Tooting, for plantsand fronds of this Fern. It is in Messrs. RoUissons collection at Tooting. The illustration is from a plant in my own collection. There seems to be some obscurity regarding this class of Ferns.Fee gives six species, namely, Irioides, Irregulare, Lougissimum,Sessile, Trijidum, and Palmatum. The Irregulare of Link seemsto be a very different Fern to the P. irioides; and anotherspecies known in gardens as the P. platyotis is also distinct,as indeed the present Fern appears to be. There is a markeddifference in the habit and venation of these species, yet^ owingto the latter being so imperfectly seen, the differences are notwell understood.
