 Soft pale-ftalked Polypody. Anglis. 

 .. Jn riiady places and a rocky foil ; in the lowlands 

 frequent, as about Langholm and Panton-bridge^ 

 in EJkdale^ &c. %. 

 The flalks are naked, fix inches above the root, 

 not totally fmooth, but have a few filmy brown 



■\,:. fcales. The leaves, meafured with the ftalks, 



are about a foot high, foft, covered with a flight 



: villofuy, and doubly pinnatifid. The loweft 



', . pair of primary pinme is deflex'd, the next pair 



, .■ is horizontal, and may be confidered as the bafe 



of a triangle, with refpeft to the out-line of the 

 fuperior part of the leaf. Each pair of primary 

 fivn^ is connefted at the middle rib by the lowed 

 pair of fecondary pinnules on each fide, fo that 

 the union refembles a quadrangular^/^;;.^. The 

 fecondary pinnules are lanceolate, flightly fal- 

 cated and obtufe, not divided quite to the 

 nerve, nor altogether entire on the edges, for 

 chofe upon the lower pair of /»z««4? are ferrated. 

 The frudifications are difpofed in fmall pale 

 brown dots, in two rows, near the eidges of the 

 pinnules, , .
