27.4 Dryopteris remota (A.Br.) Druce
1 2
An apogamous species probably originating from the hybrid
between D.expansa and D.pseudomas could be expected where
these species grow together. It is, however, rare. Plants brought
into cultivation as Lastrea 'boydii' from Loch Lomond appear
to be this species but it has not been seen in the wild this century.
The two Irish specimens are even more perplexing as D.expansa
is so far not recorded from Ireland; both records (Glen Flesk ,
v.c. H2 and Dalystown, v.c. H15) need refinding (see

A.C.Jermy & S.Walker, in C.A.Stace (ed.). loc.cit.: 115). It is
known however, that in Europe D.remota occurs in the absence
of either of the above species and probably does not now arise
de novo from hybridisation.
The hybrid D.austriaca x pseudo mas recorded as D. x woynarii
Rothm. from Lochinver, v.c. 108, in A.C.Jermy & S.Walker, in
C.A.Stace (ed.) loc. cit.: 115; 1975, is now considered to be
doubtfully of that parentage and more likely D. x ambrosiae.
