Illustrated with coloured plates and numerous wood engravings, specially prepared for this work . Ferns; Ferns. Fig. 82. Lower Portion of Frond of Pteris sagittifolia a nat. size). P. (Doryopteris) sagittifolia—Dor-y-op'-ter-is; sag-it-tif-ol'-i-a (arrow-fronded), Raddi. This very pretty and thoroughly distinct, dwarf- growing, stove species is a native of Brazil, and, according to Lowe, was introduced into the Royal Gardens, Kew, in 1841. Its sagittate (arrow-shaped) fronds, 4in. to 6in. long from the top of the stalk to their extremity and 2in. to Sin. broad, are borne on naked, blackish stalks 4in. to Gin. long and of a polished nature ; they are entire, but furnished with two basal lobes which are triangular and sharp- pointed (Fig. 82 and Coloured Plate), as is the extremity of the frond itself. These fronds, of a leathery texture, are mostly fertile, and the spore masses, which form a continuous line all round the margin, are furnished with a narrow indusium.—Hooker, Filices Exoticce, t. 39.
