1 The "Filix mas, or male feme," of Gerard, edit, cit., p. 1128 (for, says he, of 
the " divers sorts of feme . . . there be two sorts, according to the old writers, — 
the male and the female; and these be properly called feme: the others have 
their proper names"), is the collective designation of four species of Aspidium ; 
of which all, according to Pursh, and certainly three, are natives of both conti- 
nents, — AA. cristatum, Filix mas, Filix foemina, and aculeattim, Willd. "Filix 
focmina (female feme, or brakes," of Gerard, I. c.) is Ptcris aquilina, L. ; also

Opkioglossum vulgatum, L. (p. 42); and Adiantum pcdatum, L. (p. 55). 
2 Oxalis comiculata, L. (Gerard, em., p. 1202), common to Europe and

nuts : the other kind I could never find." The former was Tilia Americana, L., 
— a species peculiar to America. 
5 See p. 48; and Voyages, p. 69. None of our species are found in Europe.

p. 80. — "Rosa solis, sundew, moor-grass. This plant I have seen more of than 
ever I saw in my whole life before in England," &c. Both our common New- 
England species of Droscra are also natives of Europe.
