Davenport, George E., Botryclnum matricariasfolium A. Br. : An 

 enquiry into the relationships between Botrychium 

 neglecUwi Wood, Botrychium niatricariaefolium A. Braun and 

 Botrychium ramosum Ascherson. (The Fern Bulletin. XIV. 

 January [March], 1906. p. 11 — 19. plates 1 and 2.) 



American forms recently recognized under the name Botrychium 

 neglectum Wood are held not to be specifically separable from the 

 European B. matricariaefolium A. Br. and to represent, mainly, 

 Milde's var. subintegrum, under the latter specific name. 



BotryclUum ramosum Ascherson (1864) is regarded by the author 

 as identical with Botrychium matricariaefolium A. Br. (1843); but 

 the nominal basis of B. ramosum Ascherson is Osmunda ramosa 

 Roth (1788), and this is referable to Botrychium Lunaria ; from 

 which it follows tliat the name Botrycfiium ramosum Ascherson can 

 not prcvail as a Substitute for Botrychium matricariaefolium A. Br. 

 The early history of Osmunda ramosum is traced in some detail, 

 with especial reference to Milde's treatment. Maxon.
