Filicem in Horto Sicco Bobartiano observavit D. Dillenius, cui Bobartus 
sua manu subscripserat. ‘ This capillary was gathered by the conjuror of 
Chalgrove.’ Vicus est vii circiter milliaribus distans Oxonio. An tota 
planta vel ramulus saltem esset conjectari non licebat. Tali autem plane

The leaf of the Anemone thus described as a new species of Fern, is 
still preserved in the Morisonian Herb. In acopy of the Dillen. Ray in 
Hort. Ox., a writer has inserted opposite the above description, ‘This 
fern is no other than a leaf of A. xemorosa decorated on the under side 
with dots, occasioned by an insect laying its eggs there.’ The so-called 
eggs being a Fungus, which we at present call Puccixea anemonea.
