In this communication the fact is noted that this plant 



occasionally produces double flowers. One locality near Ply- 

 mouth, N. II., is speciaUy mentioned as a habitat for the sport. 

 As might be expected, the doubling of flower has resulted in im- 

 portant transformations of its parts.

(Bot. Gaz. XV. 1-7, with diagram). 



The author here assumes the possibility of the Ophioglosseae 

 being a primitive stock with two main derivative branches : 

 Marattiacese possibly terminating in Cycadaceaj, and Filiccs ter- 

 minating in Marsiliaceae and Salviniacea;. The Hymenophyllacese 

 are assumed to be a degenerate group whose exact point of 

 departure from the Filices is problematic. The author desires 

 fresh fruiting specimens of the Ophioglosseai for study.

 as to cover the entire flowering season.
