 Hab. Sides of streams in mountain woods, common in 

 Ireland, Dill. Muse. p. 483", t. 69, f. 6, A. B. C. 

 Tufts loose, pale olive-green. Shoots 1-2 inches high, 

 more rarely as long as in the Dillenian figure. Calyces 

 obliquely and roundly truncate ; the fertile much larger than 

 the barren. Capsule oblong. Pedicel thick, about as long 

 as the shoots. Differs from Jung, asplenioides, L., by the 

 smaller size, darker colour, the more imbricated, more erect, 

 more convex and narrower leaves, and by the calyx more 

 covered by the perichcetium.

 foliis punctatis, subapproximatis, patentibus, rotundato-

 Hab. In Ireland, common. Canaries, Lemann, Hook. Herb. 

 Tufts dense, about 1 inch high, yellowish-olive. Lower 

 leaves very small. Calyces short. Perigonia in terminal 

 oblongo-ovate spikes, of 4 or 5 pairs of widely ovate, obtuse,

 smaller size, the patent leaves, which are not decurrent, and 

 are punctato-cellulose ; by the shorter calyx and by the more 

 frequent flagelliform shoots.
