Summary:
He and James Backhouse found 'Woodsia hyperbora' growing near High Teesdale, Yorkshire, last summer. Was unable to find 'Cyathea dentata', though may have mistaken 'Woodsia hyperbora' for it. 'Cyathea fragilis', 'Asplenium viride', and 'A. trichomanes' grow there abundantly. Sending specimens of the 'Woodsia hyperbora'. Found 'Aspedium lobatum' in woods near Redcar, [Yorkshire].
