Abundant everywhere. 



This variable and perplexing species 

 is very abundant in several varie- 

 ties, one of which, with an ovate 

 or ovate-lanceolate frond, is fre- 

 quent on the highest mountains. 



Frequent on the sea cliff as at 

 Corrie, North Sannox, Salt Pans, 

 and Whiting Bay ; in rocky and 

 wooded ground at the head of 

 Glen Cloy, under the Sheeans. 

 'Rocks at the head of Glen Cloy; 

 cave in the old sea cliff at Blue 

 Rock; near Glen Sannox; and 

 in several other spots among the 

 mountains, as, near the top of 

 Ben-Ghnuis, on the Ceims, &c. 

 It generally, if not always, occurs 

 in the form dentata. 

 ? Old walls at Brodick Castle, and 

 \ probably in other places. 



Common on rocks and walls, 

 f Abundant on limestone cliffs at the 

 I head of Bein-Leister Glen, above 

 Lamlash ; on rocks near the head 

 of Glen Cloy, sparingly. 



Occurring here and there in caves 

 along the old sea cliff. It is now 

 scarcely to be found on the east 

 and north coasts of the island, but 

 may be obtained in many places on 

 the south and west, as at Benan- 

 head, King's Cove, and Imochair. 

 At Leac-a-Breac, near Black- 

 Water-foot, we have gathered 

 fronds eighteen inches long. 



Abundant on banks and rocks.

 presenting an infinite variety of

/ Hedges, banks, and rocks ; often 

 *\ very luxuriant. 

 Very common. 



Among granite blocks at the head 

 of Glen Sannox, under the crags 

 of Cior-Mhor, abundant ; also on 

 the pass leading from Glen Rosa 

 into lorsa, in small quantity, and 

 probably in several other places. 

 One very small plant we found, 

 on one occasion, at the summit of 

 Ben-Ghnuis. 

 Common. 



f Fields near the String Road in Glen 

 Shirag ; also on the shore at In- 

 .<J vercloy and Corriegills, and in
