MARCH, 1900. PLANTS UTOWAN^E MILLSPAUGH. ig 



the Gray Herbarium, Cambridge. No. 1441 from pockets in the coral 

 sea-wall of Pedernales Point, Isle of Pines, Cuba, is in every way a 

 much larger and coarser plant than the Floridian form. 



ASPLENIUM PUMILUM Swtz. Fl. Ind. Occ. 3: 1610. 



Under the edge of loose stones in open woods near the north- 

 west point of Cozumel (1485). 



The specimens show considerable variation in the serration of 

 the margins. 



ASPLENIUM TRICHOMANES Linn. Sp. PI. 1540. 



Small plants from the crevices of a low rock ledge near a bog at 

 Paget's, Bermuda (49). 



BLECHNUM OCCIDENTALS Linn. Sp. PI. 1534. 



Damp roadside bank near Caguas, Porto Rico (244). Deep moist 

 high mountain woods above Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas (521, 544, 

 548, 550). Rich woods near Port Antonio, Jamaica (1145). A fine 

 series of specimens showing the species to good advantage. 



WOODWARDIA RADICANS Smith, Mem. Acad. Turin 5: 412. 



Rich soil under overhanging banks near Port Antonio, Jamaica, 

 (966). Fronds sterile, 114 cm. long. 



GYMNOGRAMMA* CALOMELANOS (L.) Kaulf. Enum. Fil. 76. 



Acrostichum Linn. Rich moist banks (shaded by rank low 

 growth) near Caguas (229), open rocky bank, a railway cut near Bay- 

 amon (311), Porto Rico. 



The first is a large weak growth, the second coriacious and very 

 near var. tartarea (L.) Bom. & Ch. Fil. 236, and apparently uniting it 

 with the species. I quite agree with Shimek (Ferns Nic. 191) that 

 with a full series of forms no specific differences exist between 

 G. calomelanos and G. tartarea Desv., and the above localities for Dr. 

 Millspaugh's specimens seem to bear out Prof. Shimek's remark: 

 "The difference in texture seems to be due to surroundings. Both 

 forms are more coriaceous when growing in barren, exposed places. 



CHEILANTHES MICROPHYLLA (Swtz.) Syn. Fil. 127. 



Adiantum Swtz. Prod. On stone fences under shade of trees near 

 Port Antonio, Jamaica (894). On dry ground in open scrublands near 

 The Ovens, Santiago de Cuba (1106), the latter suffering from the 

 dry conditions. 



ADIANTUM BELLUM WALSINGENSE Gilbert. Bull. Torr. Club. 25: 596. 



In the wall crevices of an old cellar on an islet in Hamilton Bay 

 (18) and on the margin of a bog near Paget's (42, 55 in part), Ber- 

 muda. 



If I am correct in this determination (and the specimens agree 

 with those I have from Mr. Gilbert), the published descriptions need 

 considerable revision: In the only two fronds I have of normal A. 

 bellum, and for which I am indebted to Mr. Gilbert, the pinnules are
