 bridge Wells, abundantly ; Walker ! Near Eusthall Com- 

 mon, in the lane leading to the High Rocks, abundantly ;

 When in fruit, distinguished by its hairy fruit-stalk and by 

 the fruit being usually divided into four narrow rays, although 

 sometimes five or six and sometimes only three are developed. 



In the barren state it is easily recognised by the semicircular 

 or crescent- shaped cups containing gemmae. 



[Targionia hypophijUa, L., should be looked for in Kent, as it 

 occiu-s in the south of England on warm dry rocky banks. The 

 fronds are purplish underneath like those of Asterella hemisphcBrica, 

 but the fruit is a sessile capsule situated just beneath the apex of 

 the frond.]
