51. Aspleniiim Glenniei^ Baker, described at p, 488 of the second 
edition of Synopsis Filicum, was scantily collected on the Huachuca 
Mts. by Prof. Lemmon. It is a small fern growing in little tufts like 
A. montanum J but the fronds are lanceolate, tapering both ways, 
2-6 inches long, pinnate, with many pairs of oblong, toothed or 
pinnately lobed deep-green pinnae. The sori are abundant, rather 
large, slightly curved outwards, and placed mostly very near the 
midrib of the pinnules. The fern comes near the old world A. 
fontanum, but is not closely allied to any of our common species. I 
am obliged to Mr.^ Baker for the identification. 
52. Aspidiumjiiglaiidifolhim^Y^xxvLZt, — The free-veined form which 
has been called Phanerophlebia nobilis^ is in Prof. Lemmon's 
Huachuca collection. This was found in Western Texas many 
years ago, but has never been distributed to herbaria from any station 
within the borders of the United States. With this, Prof. Lemmon 
secured a few fronds of Aspidiiim Filix-mas and a few of an 
Aspidium with decompound fronds, the species not yet clearly 
recognized.

PI. i. 256 ; Steud, Syn. PL, i. 201. 
Perennial. Culms erect, branched at the base, 2 feet high, smooth 
below, pubescent above, especially at the joints and on the main 
axis and branches of the panicle. Leaves flat, 2-3 lines wide, 5-8 in. 
long, involute towards the tip ; sheaths loose, pubescent like the 
leaves ; ligule a ciliate ring of short hairs. Panicle lanceolate in 
outline, 6-8 in. long, the more or less spreading branches solitary, the 
lower ones about 2 in. long, branched a little below the middle, the 
branchlets i-3-flowered. Spikelets about 4 lines long, exceeding their 
pedicels ; outer glumes lanceolate, 2^ lines long. Flowering-glume 
2 lines long, striate with 9 prominent nerves and several interme- 
diate less prominent ones, the two lateral divisions more deeply cut 
than the others and somewhat divergent ; the three longest awns a 
little over a line in length. The edge of the flowering-glume, for a 
short distance above the base, is densely pilose with hairs a line long. 
Near Tucson, Arizona, Dec. 7th. 
This is the same as No. 2,057 of Wright's N. Mex. collection, 
1851-2. Mr. Pringle found only a single specimen, which is an old 
one, but sufficiently perfect to show the above-enumerated charac-
