Text Appearing Before Image:
seed-massesare mature. Fronds thick, shining, and deep green. For fronds of this Fern my thanks are due to Mr. J. Smith,of the Royal Gardens, Kew; Messrs. Booth, of Hamburg; Mr.Sim, of Foots Cray; Mr. Joseph Henderson, of Wentworth;Mr. G. Norman, of Hull; and Messrs. E-ollisson, of Tooting. This species may be procured of Messrs. Sim, of Foots Cray;Booth, of Hamburg; Veitch, Jun., of Chelsea; and RoUisson,of Tooting. The illustration is from a frond sent by Mr. R. Sim, of FootsCray, VITTARIA. 14T GENUS VIII. VITTARIA. J. Smith. An interesting small tribe of plants, two species of whichhave been introduced into this country. The fronds are simple, linear, and smooth. Habit pendulous. Veins simple, forming an acute angle with the midrib, andhaving their apices prolonged into a transverse marginal vein,which eventually becomes the sporangiferous receptacle. Sori marginal or slightly intramarginal, being a continuousline, looking like the fructification of the Pteris without theindusium.
