Chain HIS genus, which is a part of the tribe Blechnece, and was named after Thomas Jenkinson Woodward, an English botanist, is composed of about half-a-dozen distinct species, of large or medium dimensions. In Hooker and Baker's " Synopsis Filicum," Woodwardia forms Grenus 36. Its dis- tinctive character resides in the disposition of the sori (spore masses), which are linear (narrow) or linear-oblong, and sunk in cavities of the frond placed in single rows parallel with and contiguous to the midribs of the pinna3 and pinnules (leaflets and leafits); they are covered by an involucre of a somewhat leathery texture, of the same shape as the spore masses, and closing over the cavity like a lid. In Woodwardia proper the veins always form a series of costal arches, while in the remainder of the species they are either quite free or anastomosing (intercrossing each other). Although only a small genus, Woodwardia is sub-divided, according to the nature of the veins, into three sections as follow : Anchistea (Anch-is'-te-a), Presl. The plants of this section have uniform fronds, with all their veins free between the sori and the margin. Euwoodwardia (Eu-wood-ward'-i-a), or true Woodwardia. In this section the fronds are uniform, and their veins form at least one series of areolations (cells or cavities) between the sori and the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Schneider, George.
