﻿Underwood : The ternate Species of Botrychium 529 



species is absolutely distinct from its congeners and can be recog- 

 nized more clearly than any of the other species of this group by 

 its unique biological characters as well as by its distinct form. 



The specimen in the Michaux herbarium at Paris is badly 

 folded, overlapping itself in such a way as to obscure some of its 

 characters, yet it is clearly the same plant that we have seen grow- 

 ing in the South and that was figured in our Gazette article. The 

 specimen bears no data as to time of collection except the briei 

 record "in pascuis sabulosis juxta Charleston.' ' In the general 

 Paris Herbarium there are three other specimens, one of which 

 bears no data except " Am. Sept. "; the second " Caroline par Bosc 

 an XI," and the third " des environs de Charlestown par Richard 

 de rherbier de Michaux 1808," all of which are the exact form 



which we have figured as stated above.
