Woodsia ilvensis is mentioned specifically on page 296 of The Flora of Nova Scotia (The Flora of Nova Scotia. A.E. Roland and E.C. Smith, Published by The Nova Scotia Museum, Halifax, NS, 1969, reprinted 1983. 746 pp.)
"Woodsia Ilvensis is found on cliffs or talus stopes in many locations in the central and northern parts of the Province, becoming more common northward; and Dryopteris fragrans is rather typical of rock faces along the Cobequids and has been reported from the Strait of Canso area. In general, however, the most suitable habitats for the survival of these plants seems to be about the head of the Bay of Fundy and on the cliffs, ravines, headlands and high bogs of northern Cape Breton." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgrignon (talk • contribs) 03:48, 26 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
