Hab. Moist places upon heaths ; also in marshes, and on the sides of ditches ; abundant in 
various parts of Great Britain. — (The fructification is produced in the spring months, 
sometimes under water. — Gemmae are found by Mr. Lyell, in November.) 
Plant generally growing in thickly-crowded tufts of considerable extent. 
Roots, a few small, whitish, simple fibres, descending principally from the lower parts of 
the plant. 
Fronds from half an inch to an inch and half in length, and half or three-fourths of a 
line, or more, in diameter, compressed, erect in general, but sometimes, especially in 
the broader varieties, decumbent and imbricating each other, always branched, but ex- 
tremely various in their ramification, often being twice or thrice divided in a most irregular 
manner, with narrow laciniae in every respect resembling the main part of the frond, 
(f. 7) w hile, at other times, which is indeed most common, they are seen to be pinnate
