The Adiantum nigrum Officinarum, J. B. 
R. Syn. 126, is pretty frequent with us in woods 
and fhady lanes at the roots of trees about rocks 
and old ftone walls : This fpecies is frequently 
fold by the herb-gatherers for the Trichomanes 
abovementioned : the miftake however is of little 
confequence, as without doubt both fpecies are 
nearly of the fame quality.
