scales ; frond elongate, triangular (being exactly that of 
Asplenium Adiantum-nigrum), drooping, elegant, pale de- 
licate green when young, its under sm’face sprinkled over 
with sessile, pellucid glands (which probably cause the pow- 
erful scent for which this species is remarkable), pinnate ;

divisions of the frond concave ; involucre jagged, without 
stalked glands; clusters of capsules round, crowded, cover-

Huds. FI. Ang. 390 (1762), (I place this synonyme 
here without hesitation, not simply from the accord- 
ance of Hudson’s specific character, but because that 
author specially cites Hampstead Heath as the loca- 
lity, and the present species has existed there from 
Hudson’s time to the present, and no other form or 
supposed species has ever been found there) ; Id. 457,
