WOODSIA.

Alp, at Windisch-matrei, and at Weisenstein, near Sexten. Another locality in Carinthia 
completes the short list of European stations for this scarce little fern. 
Out of Europe the plant is found to extend eastward through the Ural and Baikal 
districts of Siberia, and as far as Kamptschatka ; whilst on the American continent there are 
several localities known in Canada, in the Rocky Mountains, and the plant is recorded from 
Labrador, and from Disco, Greenland. 
The species of Woodsia are not very frequently met with in cultivation, although they 
are grown with little difficulty if properly treated. The drainage of the pots must be fully 
provided for, the soil being a mixture of fibrous peat and silver sand, with a small portion of 
loam. They succeed best in a northern aspect, and require plenty of water during the growing 
period.
