Microlepia (Greek, a small scale; alluding to the indusium). Polypodiaceae. A genus of graceful greenhouse ferns, allied to Davallia, but having the shallow, half-cup-shaped, membranous indusium attached to the sides as well as the base; the stalks are also continuous with the rootstock, and not joined to them, as in the true davallias.—Twenty or more species are known. For cult., see Davallia. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
