41.— 3. hngifolia ; fronds elongated simple or only here and
f.
there divided by innovations. J. endiviafolia, Dicks—y.furcigera
; fronds at the apex dichotomoiisly divided with narrow
innovations.
Moist ground, frequent.— 0. Bogs and ditches. y. Not uncommon in
rather dry situations, especially in the winter months. Fr. Spr. and
Aut.— This fine species may frequently be seen in damp shady places,
by the sides of springs and wells, with its white sparkling silvery threads,
which are of most rapid growth, bearing at their summit the pale-brown
capsule, which, when the valves are fully expanded, bears the spiral
filaments in a beautiful tuft or pencil in the centre.

rocks, &c, abundant.—0. on rocks in subalpine countries.— y. on trees

Winter and Spr.—The fructification of this, again, is very peculiar.
Anthers are found on the COSta, on the underside of the frond, enclosed
in and attached to a costate scale, rolle I up like a ball. Gemma appear
on the aeruginose car., terminating narrow prolongations of the forking
of the frond.
