78 AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
DENNSTAEDTIA PUNCTILOBULA (Michx.) Moore. 
Mountain region. Rocky hillsides and open wood- 
lands. I have found it in Jackson, DeKalb, and Marsh- 
all Counties. T. M. Peters reports it from Winston 
Co. and Dr. Smith from Bibb Co 
TRICHOMANES BoscHiANuM Sturm. Mountain re- 
gion to lower hills, on damp rocks. I found two sta- 
tions for this delicate fern on Sand Mt. in Jackson Co. 
One was at the foot of a large water-fall where water 
was continually splashed over it and seldom froze. 
The other was under a ledge of rocks that were partially 
dry a part of the year. This station contained many 
fruiting fronds, but they were rather small. The former 
station contained larger plants, but had few fruiting 
fronds. In Walker Co..on a rocky wall which was 
damp but had the sunlight most of the day I found 
large colonies of small plants, but few were fruiting. 
Across Sipsey river in Winston Co. under ledges of 
rocks where the sun never shone I found the best speci- 
mens. Some of these were ten inches long, and heavy 
with fruit. Those of Jackson Co. never received any 
sunlight. It has been found in Franklin, Marion, 
Etowah, Hale, and Lawrence Counties. It is always 
found on sandstone. 
TRICHOMANES PrtTersit Gray. Found in four places 
inside the State, and only two places outside of the 
State. I have specimens from all six stations. It 
grows on damp sandstone which receives more or less 
water at different times throughout the year. The 
station I found in Marshall Co. was where the sun 
could reach it a part of the day. There were thousands 
of plants matted together. It was first observed in 
Winston Co. by T. M. Peters. It has since been found 
in Marion and Etowah Counties. 
CyrToMiIuM FaLtcatum (L. f.) Presl. This fern has 
been reported by Mr. W. C. Dukes as an escape in
