N Hooker and Baker's " Synopsis Filicum" Woodsia forms Genus 11. It is dedicated to the memory of Joseph Woods, author of " The Tourists' Flora," and is composed of about fourteen species of small-growing, much-tufted, greenhouse and hardy Ferns, of distinct appearance and very neat habit. All are of soft texture and of a deciduous nature; their stalks are often jointed and separating at the joints. The distinctive characters of Woodsia reside principally in the globose shape of the spore masses and in the inferior, soft, membranous involucre, from the first calyciform or more or less globose -and sometimes enclosing the sorus (spore mass), at length opening at the top, its margin or mouth being irregularly lobed or fringed. According to the nature of the involucre the genus Woodsia is divided as follows : EuwooDSiA (Eu-wood'-si-a), or Woodsia proper, with involucre smaller than the sorus, but fringed with hairs, which extend beyond it; and Physematium (Phy-se-mat'-i-ura), in which the involucre is larger than the sorus and not ciliated. Culture. Most of the known Woodsias are found in cold and temperate chmates. North America is particularly rich in them, and the genus is well represented in Great Britain by two species, W. hyperborea and W. ilvensis, both of.
