Pteris cretica, Linn. Fig. 3252. Lvs. 6-12 in. long, on slender, straw-colored stalks, consisting of a terminal pinna and 2-6 opposite sessile pairs, the upper often decurrent, the lower pairs cleft nearly to the base into 2 or 3 pinnules. Quite generally distributed in tropical regions, extending to Cent. Fla. Many varieties are in cult., of which var. albo-lineata, Hort. (Fig. 3253), is one of the finest, with broader pinnae and a broad, central, whitish band. Var. major and var. nobilis are larger horticultural forms, and var. magnifica, Hort., and var. Mayii, Hort. (P. Mayii) are still more developed. Var. Wilsonii, Hort., Fig. 3252, is one of the common garden forms.
