BOTRYCHIUM VIRGINIANUM (L.) Sw. RATTLESNAKE 



Fern. This species is probably common but the older 

 herbaria have preserved no specimens of it. Bachman 

 lists it for Charleston and Ravenel doubtless refers to it 

 as one of his two species of Botrychium, phioglossv m 

 crotalophoroides from his herbarium being the other. 

 Miss Mabel Webber and I found it fairly common at 

 Otranto, in low mixed woods bordering the swamp to 

 the west of the railroad. On April 27, 1913, the spores 

 had fallen.
