Lindsaya (Archibald Lindsay, early English botanist). Sometimes spelled Lindsaea. Polypodiaceae. About thirty species of tropical ferns, of both hemispheres, none of which is advertised in Amer. They are very difficult of cultivation, and are apparently adapted only as fancier's plants. Schneider, in his "Book of Choice Ferns," says they usually die soon after importation, even if apparently in good condition on arrival. In their native habitat, he says, these ferns usually creep about in poor, stony soil, which is frequently drenched and washed away by rain. They need a high temperature and humid atmosphere. Some success has been attained by placing lindsayas in pots nearly filled with crocks, in which they are firmly held by two or three pieces of turfy loam, and by imitating in other ways the natural conditions described above.
