it occurs in the following counties : — Armagh, Antrim, Cork,

Culture. — The same method of culture as that recom- 
mended for the Moomvort will be found to succeed in the 
case of this little Fern — namely, the removal of the plant 
imbedded in the turf on which it is growing. But after 
planting it with its turfy mass of grass roots, — on which it 
is believed to feed, — it will need more moisture than the 
Moon wort, and should have a richer and more loamy soil in 
contact with its roots.
