Monogramma (Greek, a single line; alluding either to the grass-like lvs. or to the elongated linear sorus). Polypodiaceae. A tropical Old World genus of several small species of grass-like ferns, rarely seen in cult. M. trichoidea, J. Smith (Fjg. 2384), is a tiny bark-inhabiting plant with thread-like lvs., 1-2 in. long, native in the Philippines. It is of exceptional interest from the collector's standpoint because it is without exception, so far as known, the simplest and most delicate fern in existence. Its habitat is like that of most filmies and the cultural conditions required are also similar. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
