The seed- cup in the fertile frond takes the place of a fork of the pinnule, having a hair or spike projecting from the centre. This exceedingly beautiful and delicate fern is found only in Ireland, though it is said to have grown in Yorkshire. The Turk Waterfall, near Killarney, is the most celebrated locality for it ; where, amidst the dripping rocks and the spray of the water, it forms a verdant drapery most charming to behold ; but there are other stations in Ireland where it is found by bo...tanists. At Blackstones, in the county of Kerry, it was discovered by two gentlemen growing in a wild and romantic cave, the rocky walls of which had been for ages covered with its overlapping fronds, forming a mass of the loveliest green j strongly contrasting with the darker and more sombre hue of the Killarney plant. This pretty fern is abundant in the island of Madeira, and is found in the West Indies and the islands of the North Atlantic. From its peculiarly membranous texture, and mois- ture-loving nature, there have always appeared to be difficulties in the way of the cultivation of this fern.
