‘Phyllitis scolopendrium (L.) Newm. 
(Scolopendrium vulgare Sm.) 
In the rich humus, covering the talus of limestone cliffs at Chit- 
tenango Falls, under the dense shade of mixed hardwoods and hem- 
lock. H. D. House, June 9, 1914. No. 5500. 
The species was first discovered at Chittenango Falls by Mr 
William Cooper about 1830 and remained until 1857 the only Amer- 
ican station definitely known, although it was earlier discovered at 
Geddes, Onondaga county, by Frederick Pursh, on July 20, 1807. 
For many years it was supposed that Pursh’s locality was the Chit- 
tenango Falls station until it was rediscovered at the Geddes locality 
in 1879 by members of the Syracuse Botanical Club. In July 1808, 
the fern was discovered at Perryville, Madison county, by Miss 
Murray Ledyard of Cazenovia. 
A full and interesting history of the occurrence of this rare fern 
in America is given by Mr William R. Maxon in Fernwort Papers, 
pages 30-46, December 20, 1909.
