Nephrolepis elegantissima, F. R. Pierson, 1904, from Piersonii. Lvs. 18-20 in. long. 6-8 in. broad, the pinnae; 3-1 in. long, 1½−2 in. broad, almost completely divided into elongate, acuminate pinnulae, these 1 in. long, ½ in. broad, entire or deeply pinnatifid into linear segms. The most commonly grown of the 2-3-pinnate varieties. It succeeds because of a strong petiole and firm lf .-blade. The lvs. are often thick and dense, due to the broad overlapping pinnae. A well-grown plant shows a very thick mass of lvs. Elegantissima "improved" is the stock grown at present and represents a selected type of eleganlissima which shows less reversion than the original form. However, when not carefully grown, it will now show strong reversion to the once-pinnate Boston type.
