Since we gave a figure of this plant in the Icones Filicum, we | 
have received other specimens gathered by Mr. Drummond, 
of considerably larger size, but gie the same charac- 
ters.

Has. Northern Europe, Switzerland, and the Pyrenées. 
In America, from the Saskatchawan to Hudson's Bay, 
Drummond. Newfoundland, Dr. Morrison.—Our American 
specimens of this plant, which seems to be confined to the 
North of the United States, precisely agree with the figure 
of Schkukr above quoted, with that of Flora Danica, and 
with what we conceive to be authentic European specimens 
from Professor Kunze; the latter, however, being smaller 
than our Canadian ones, and in this respect corresponding 
with the Newfoundland plant gathered by Dr. Morison. 
Some authors unite this with the B. Lunaria, with which it 
agrees in the general shape of the pinnules; but in the com- 
position of its frond it is more allied, on the one hand, to B. 
lunarioides, and, on the other, to B. obliquum..
