Edinburgh," 1904, p. 121 ; neither is any specimen mentioned 

 in "The Scottish Naturalist," 1884, P- 268. It is a matter 

 for regret that no botanist has examined Dick's Herbarium 

 and recorded the result.

PHEGOPTERIS POLYPODIOIDES, Fee. Dick remarks : " On one 

 sloping brae grew P. Phegopteris, and I sat down beside it. I 

 remarked, though of all sizes from one inch to twelve, every one 

 was true to the type. Passing on to a rocky ledge I saw a 

 cluster of the fern I had been in quest of. That, said I, is the 

 P. Dryopteris of learned men. More than fifty of the fern 

 were growing before me, not one of them agreeing in any 

 particular with the Dryopteris of the books."
