This elegant little plant rifes by a fimple flalk to the height of fix or eight inches, 

 and then divides into five or more fimple branches difpofed in a radiated expanded 

 form; which are fuftained, as it were, by a few fimple leaves placed in the manner 

 of an umbrella or common cup, under their infertions. The leaves are fmall and 

 dilpofed in a pennated order.

This plant refembles the foregoing both in form and appearance; but it grows to a 

 more considerable fize, and is often obferved to be half an inch, or more, round the 

 flalk : it rifes fometimes to the height of three feet or better, and makes a very beau- 

 tiful appearance in the woods.

The branched Maiden-hair with a lobed foliage. 



Thefe two fpecies have been but little known until of late : I found both in the 

 midland parts of the Ifland, where the latter grows pretty luxuriouily, and rifes 

 fometimes to the height of three or four feet. Its fmaller branches are very {lender; 

 and its delicate foliage divided into diftinct denticulated lobes.
