Didymochlaena (Greek, twin cloak; alluding to the indusium). Polypodiaceae. Greenhouse ferns of rather coarse foliage. Indusium elliptical, emarginate at the base, attached along a central vein, free all around the margin.—One or 2 species. Large coarse ferns somewhat resembling the shield ferns, Dryopteris, in habit and gross appearance. D. lunulata is a very distinct fern. It looks like a tree maidenhair, but the stems are thick and fleshy and the leaves are fleshier than any Adiantum. In cultivation the trunk is only a few inches high, but the fronds are 4 to 6 feet long and densely covered with long, brown, chaffy scales and has a metallic luster. This is a warm- house fern, and may be used for subtropical bedding. It has a bad trick of dropping its pinnules if allowed to get too dry at the root, but soon rallies under liberal treatment. CH
