IN this country we have two so-called species of the genus 

 Hymenophyllum ; and although nearly all our botanists appear 

 to be agreed in considering them distinct, and even though the 

 difference between them be so obvious, and in so important a 

 part of the plant its fructification, yet I must acknowldege, 

 that in retaining the two as species, I merely bow to the opinion 

 of abler botanists than myself.
