Botanical Explorations in Georgia during the Summer of 1901,— 
I], Noteworthy Species 
By RoLanp M. HARPER 
Unless otherwise noted, the plants mentioned below were col- 
lected on my expedition of 1901, the itinerary of which was de- 
scribed in the last number of the BULLETIN. 
ADIANTUM CAPILLUS-VENERIS L. 
Although this interesting fern has not yet been reported from 
Georgia by any other botanist, it is quite widely distributed in the 
lime-sink region. Last summer * I found it quite adundant in 
Dooly County (no. 1064) not far from where I first discovered it 
several years ago, also in the central part of Lee County (no. 
1161), and in all the lime-sinks visited in Decatur County, espe- 
cially at Forest Falls (no. 1193). The illustration of this waterfall 
in the geological bulletin already mentioned led me to suspect very 
strongly the occurrence of the Adzantum there, and evidence in sup- 
port of this suspicion accumulated as I drew near the place. In 
Camilla I was told that ‘a maidenhair fern, different from the one in 
the mountains,”’ grew at Forest Falls, and in Thomasville the next 
day I saw specimens of it in cultivation which were said to have 
been obtained there. On the inaccessible perpendicular side of the 
sink, within reach of the spray of the waterfall, it grows most 
luxuriantly. |

course refer to I901.
