LIST OF FERNS 
POLYPODIUM VCLGAKE, 
Common Polypody . 
A very common species, growing upon old walls, 
rocks, trunks of trees, and thatched roofs, some fine 
fronds are in the lane at the back of Hucks Barn, on 
the sides of the lower coppice wood, and at Burrington, 
but it is abundant everywhere, and being an ever¬ 
green plant, is very suitable for rock-work, on which 
it grows readily. 
POLYPODIUM PHEGOPTERIS, 
Beech Fern. 
A rather rare species, growing generally in damp 
woods, or moist mountainous situations; a fragile 
plant, to be found from June until October, but 
generally killed by the first frost. It may be found 
in Maryknoll Dingle near to the Keeper’s House; also 
on the side of the cart road through the wood (leading 
from the back of Mr. Coston’s Farm House, in the 
direction of the Pools Farm ;) just beyond the first 
Holly Tree; and very abundantly near the River 
Onny, amongst the loose stones on Longville Common. 
It is a delicate and graceful Fern for rock-work or 
Wardian Cases, and requires plenty of percolating 
moisture.
