feet high. The winter tourist can secure only sterile 
fronds, as it does not fruit till midsummer, while all 
the others are in fruit in February and March. 
Almost as beautiful as the lace fern is Cheilanthes 
Fendleri Hook., which I have found mostly at an altitude 
of 4,000 to 5,000 feet. It is small, with three to five inch 
fronds. In like localities is a fern three or four times 
larger, Polystichum munitum (Kaulf.) Underw., and 
also the very small but neat os a ealifornicum 
ulf. 
This list i is small but ¢ covers all I Tikely to be. found in a a 
a number of named varieties here e 
| summer, ‘and taking trips through the state to the north, : 
where the rainfall is greater and the conditions for fern 
growth are more favorable.
