The large succulent fern, called _Botrychium,_[94] grew here plentifully; it is boiled and eaten, both here and in New Zealand.

The others are abundant and are sometimes accompanied by the little gold fern, _Gymnogramme triangularis_, and rarely by the curious little _Botrychium simplex_, some of them less than an inch high.

Hildegarde's keen eyes roved among the green masses, seeking the different varieties,--botrychium, lady-fern, delicate hart's-tongue; behind these, great nodding ostrich-ferns, bending their stately plumes over their lowlier sisters; beyond these again a tangle of brake running up into the woods.

The Botrychium Lunaria (moonwort) and Ophioglossum (adder’s tongue) are found within 300 yards of the Baths (occasionally intermittent for a season); the Trichomanes (English maidenhair) grows in one solitary place on the inner walls of a closed well, though entirely unknown anywhere else for many miles round.

The largest species (_Botrychium Virginianum_), although never growing in anything like a bed or tuft, was nevertheless common throughout the woods; you could gather a handful almost anywhere; but I found only one plant of _Botrychium lanceolatum_, and only two of _Botrychium matricariæfolium_ (and these a long distance apart), even though, on account of their rarity and because I had never before seen the latter, I spent considerable time, first and last, in hunting for them.
