Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Woodsia (after Joseph Woods, an English botanist, 1776-1864). Polypodiaceae. A genus of mainly rock-loving ferns characterized by their inferior indusium, which is attached beneath the sorus, inclosing it at first but soon splitting into star-like lobes, and later hidden beneath the sorus.—Some 15 species are known, of which 7 grow wild in this country. The following native species are sometimes cult. in borders. Treatment given other hardy ferns will suit them well. Both grow best amongst rocks.

W. glabella, R. Br., and W. alpina, Gray, are two rare alpine hardy species which have been offered. They are of interest only as rarities in large collections.
