 On old walls, and in the moist shady fissures of rocks. Ray as- 

 k < serts that it dies whenever it gets upon burnt bricks. 



^ "^ Perennial. June — October. 



4 Root tufted, dark brown. Fronds several, three or four inches 



. ^.^ high, of the colour and aspect of Rue leaves, each with a long- 



v;J"^^ \sh stalk; the upper part doubly pinnate, or rather twice ter- 



^ ^^ nate, the middle branch only being alternately pinnate. Leaflets 



i ^ stout, wedge-shaped, or partly rhomboid, stalked, spreading ho- 



i; I rizontally, or a little deflexed, the extremity abrupt, or round- 



'■^ ed, unequally notched. Masses several, close together about 



.^ ^ the middle of each leaflet, and at length confluent, covering the 



■ ■ whole of its under side. Cover pale, crenate. Capsules dark 



brown. 

 The variety &, delineated by Plukenet, I have not seen. This, ac- 

 cording to Dillenius in Ray's Synopsis, is what Mr. Vernon ga- 

 thered at Wambrise or Warbrise, (perhaps Wambridge ;) but he 

 justly suspects that Ray confounded with it some young plants 

 of our Cystea regia. See the remarks upon that species, p. 303.
