I00 THE WOODSIAS. 



The smooth Woodsia is found from New Hampshire, 

 Vermont and Northern New York to the far North and 

 Northwest. Our illustrations of this species and of W. 

 hyperborea were made from specimens collected in 

 Vermont by Mr. Eggleston. 



The genus Woodsia was named in honour of Joseph 

 Woods, an English botanist. It contains a dozen or 

 more species all confined to the colder parts of the 

 world.
