also in a wood in Willey Park; and the Hay fern (_Lastrea faenisecii_),
in Coalbrookdale, and upon Shirlett. Also several other commoner
species, as _Lastrea Oreopteris, Lastrea spinosa, Lastrea dilatata_, and
its variety _glandulosa, Lastrea filix mas_, and its variety _Borreri_;
_Aspidium aculeatum_, and _Aspidium augulare_.
