Moscow — Lip-ferns Related to Che Handles myriophylla. 145 



it seems safe to apply the name in this sense. The plant with ciliate 

 scales is regarded as a new species, C. Wootoni. 



The differences distiguishing C. Fendleri and C. Wootoni are stated in 

 the key, and are further mentioned under the latter species. The ranges 

 of the two overlap, but C. Fendleri is the more widespread and, appar- 

 ently, far the commoner. Occasionally, as in the Burro and Organ 

 mountains of New Mexico and the Huachuca and Santa Catalina ranges 

 of Arizona, the two species occur together and have been mixed in col- 

 lections (see list of specimens cited) ; but the plants hold their characters 

 well and ordinarily may be distinguished readily by the scales of the 

 under surface, either by the naked eye or using only a low-power lens. 



The following specimens of Cheilanthes Fendleri are in the National 

 Herbarium.
