100 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 IV. 
hyperborea were made from specimens collected in 
Vermont by Mr. Eggleston. 
The genus IWoodsta 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.
