MY COLLECTION. 119 
I have mentioned all the species of English 
Ferns, with the exception of the Trichomanes 
radicans, which, being an Irish Fern, hardly forms 
an exception. I have never found Radicans, have 
never grown it, and have never but once seen a 
really thriving plant of it. I have now in cultiva- 
tion all the species of English Ferns, excepting 
the two Woodsias,* the Asplenium germanicum, 
and the Hymenophyllums. They consist of— 
Adiantum capillus-Yeneris, with the Dunraven 
variety, if variety it is. 
Allosorus crispus. 
Aspleniums trichomanes, viride, fontanum, ruta- 
muraria, lanceolatum ; Adiantum nigrum, with 
varieties ; septentrionale, marinum, with Cornish 
variety. 
Athyrium Filix-foemina, with varieties. 
Blechnum spicant, with varieties. 
Botrychium lunaria. 
* I may also now add the Woodsia ilvensis to my list of 
Ferns under cultivation, a plant of this rare and delicate Fern 
having been kindly presented to me by Mr. Mitchell, of the 
Glen Nursery, Bacup, Lancashire.
