WOODSIA(Joseiih Woods, 



an English botanist) Poly 



podidcete. A genus of mamlj 



rock-loving ferns character 



ized by their inferior indu 



slum, which is attached be ^ 



neath the sorus, inclosing it-^ 



at first but soon splitting 



into star-like lobes, and 



later hidden beneath the 



sorus. Some fifteen spe 



cies are known, of which 



seven grow wild in this 



country. The following na- 2749. Pods 



tive species are sometimes 



cultivated in borders. Treat- 

 ment given other hardy ferns will suit them well. 



Both grow best amongst rocks.
