This Fern does not apparently extend further north than Scotland,
but it is spread thenoe over the centre and south of Europe, through
HoUaud, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Spain,
Portugal, tho Balearic Isles, Dalmatia, Croatia, Hungary, Transylvania,
Greece, and Turkey, to tho Eussian government of Tauria.
In Asia it is found on the Siberian side of the Ural Mountains
; in the Caucasus; in Armenia at Erzeroum; iu India, at
Kashmir, Affghanistan, and Thibet, and at Kulu in the Punjab. In
Africa it occurs at Algiers, as well as in S. Africa; and in Madeira,
the Azores, the Canaries, aud the Cape do Vord Islands. According
to Kunze it is also found in Brazil. The Ceterach canariensis of
Willdenow is much larger in its parts than even the largest forms
of our English plant, and is probably a distinct species. In this
latter we have found the indusium to he sometimes more evident
than in the common British plant.
The Ceterach grows with tolerable freedom in rough porous soil,
which should consist of sandy loam, and should contain a considerable
amount of fragments of limestone, or old Kme or mortar
rubbish. It must he kept rathor dry than otherwise, and must never
he subjected to a confined damp atmosphere. It may he cultivated
in pots, for which its small size well adapts i t ; or it may he advantageously
planted out on rockwork, if the situation is not too damp
and confiued. The plants are very impatient of having thoir fronds
wetted, when grown under artificial coverings. Some cultivators
recommend the use of old cow-manure, and altogether a more liberal
