Pretz: FLoRA OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 55 
Mountains. Rather frequent in moist situations on the talus 
slopes and at the bases of outcrops along the streams. On the 
wet ‘‘shale’’ formations along the Lehigh River, fronds 3.4 dm. 
long by 4.1 dm. wide with stipe 4.1 dm. long have been collected. 
This represents maximum luxuriance, the fronds in general being 
less luxuriant. Fruits late July and August. Herbaceous. 
withering early, but has been found in protected situations still 
green in November. 
ANCHISTEA VIRGINICA (L.) Presl 
Collected at a single locality along the Kittatinny Mountains 
north to west of Slatedale, August 9, 1909, 2704. 
It occupies an area of 20 feet in circumference, in practically 
pure association, in a low shallow depression filled with water for 
a part of the year but dry in summer. Also in somewhat similar 
habitat just south of this station along the public road running 
parallel to the mountain (October 10, 1909, 2285), an area of rather 
limited extent, marshy for a part of the year but later drier, with 
sphagnum beds, etc., a duplicate of similar places along the range. 
It has not been found fruiting abundantly, a condition probably 
not normal as the writer has collected it near Saylorsburg in Mon- 
roe County, Pa., on July 25, heavily fruited and in abundance. 
Fronds 9.8 dm. (3.7 + 6.1) long and 2.6 dm. wide represent rather 
below average luxuriance. Herbaceous. 
The frequent occurrence of this species in abundance along the 
coast and in association with Carolinian flora farther inland is to 
be expected, but still farther inland, especially in the mountainous 
region away from typical Carolinian association, its occurrence is 
always of interest.
