CATALOGUE OF SPECIES. 227 



River at Daggett; between Lone Pine and Olancha, Owens Valley; at several points 

 between Kernville and Tehachapi; near VisaJia; and at Three Rivers (No. 2075). 

 The plant is of rare occurrence in the desert, but common in intramoutane California. 



MARSILIACEiE. 



Marsilia vestita Hoot. & Grev. Ic. Fil. t. 159 (1831). Type locality, "ad flu- 

 men Columbian^ ora occidental! American septentrionalis." 

 Near Visalia (No. 1275). 



FOLYPODIACEiE. 



By Daniel C. Eaton. 



Gymnogramme triangularis Kaulf. Enum. Fil. 73 (1824). Type locality not 

 given other than "California;" range from British Columbia to Lower California 

 and Guadalupe Island; also accredited to Ecuador. 



On the south slope of the San Bernardino Mountains (No. 43), and in the Panamint 

 Mountains (No. 610). In the specimens marked 610, the yellow powder is very scanty 

 and in some of them it is lacking altogether. These specimens have the appearance 

 of having grown in the shade. 



Nothochlfena parryi Eaton, Amer. Nat. ix, 331 (1875). Type locality, St. George, 

 Utah; range from southern Utah to the neighborhood of San Bernardino, California. 

 Near Ash Meadows (No. 367) and in the Panamint Mountains (Nos. 502, 650). 



Cheilanthes viacida Davenp. Bull. Torr. Club, iv. 191 (1877). Type locality, 

 White Water Canon in the Colorado Desert, Arizona; range extending to Downie- 

 ville Buttes and San Gregorio Pass. 



Surprise Canon, Panamint Mountains (No. 594). The more abundant specimens 

 now collected show no departure from the type, save that s'une of them are, perhaps, 

 a little taller. 



Cheilanthes myriophylla Desv. Berlin. Mag. v. 328 (1811). Type locality, South 

 America; range from Peru along the mountains northward to California, Arizona, 

 and New Mexico. 



No. 593, well-developed specimens ; Nos. 540, 643, 651, a condensed form, with short, 

 stalked fronds, the scales mostly cinnamon-brown; Nos. 188, 777, a form with long- 

 stalked fronds and largo, white, imbricated scales. No. 188 was collected in the 

 Slate Range, the others in various parts of the Panamint Mountains. 



I find it impossible to distinguish between C. myriophylla and C.fendleri. Speci- 

 mens which I had at one time called C.fendleri I afterwards referred to C. viyriophylla, 

 and Mr. Davenport again placed in C. fendlcri. Even Mr. Faxon's carefully drawn 

 figures in the Ferns of North America (t. lxxix) do not show the differences 

 which I thought I could discern when that book was written, and I am persuaded 

 that C. myriophylla is a fern which presents a multitude of varying forms, connected 

 by all degrees of intermediate conditions, which it is not worth while to try to sepa- 

 rate, even into named varieties. 



Pellaea breweri Eaton, Proc. Amer. Acad. vi. 555 (1865). Type locality, among 

 rocks at Sonora Pass and Kbbotts Pass, Sierra Nevada, California; range extending 

 to the Belt Mountains of Montana, and to New Mexico at Loma, on the Rio Grande. 



No. 2028, from Telescope Peak, Panamint Mountains, a few imperfectly developed 

 young fronds; No. 1501, from the vicinity of Mineral King, Sierra Nevada, good, 

 typical specimens. 



Pellaea andromedaefolia (Kaulf.) Enum. Fil. 188 (1824), under Pteris; Fee, Gen. 

 Fil. 129 (1850-52). Type locality, San Francisco; range mostly near the coast. Also 

 in Chile, and said to occur in South Africa. 



Near Fort Tejon (No. 1149).
