Description: | This is a small fern which grows throughout Eurasia and North America. It produces dense upright tufts of leaves and prefers rocky environments such as mountain slopes and cliffs. It is normally found on slate or calcareous rocks, particularly limestone. The name 'Woodsia' comes from the botanist Joseph Woods (1776-1864) who first described the species. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | plants natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
