DOODIA ASPERA


Nº 39 DOODIA ASPERA
This Fern is from New South Wales, and recorded by Mr. Aiton to have been introduced in 1808. It is a very elegant plant. The soil which seems to agree best with it is sandy peat, and it should be liberally supplied with water. It seems to thrive best in a moderate stove house, and throws up side shoots occasionally, by which it is propagated ; the best season for separating them is the spring.
