Notes on AMERICAN FeRns—XVIII 107 
EQuISETUM PALUSTRE L. Several years ago the 
writer reported this species from the Wenaha National 
Forest, northeastern Oregon (Lawrence 95), a new re- 
cord for the state.’ A wide extension of range is in- 
dicated by recent specimens from Marion County, 
Oregon. These were collected by Prof. J. C. Nelson 
in a wet meadow in bottom land near the Williamette 
River, 3 miles northwest of Waconda, May 13, 1921 
(Nelson 3605) and in a grain field 3 miles north of 
Chemawa, May 28, 1921 (Nelson 3705). According 
to Professor Nelson’s notes the plant is abundant in 
the low ground north of Chemawa, but is rarely found 
in a fruiting condition. 
SELAGINELLA ASPRELLA Maxon. This species, de- 
scribed* from specimens collected on Ontario Peak, 
San Antonio Mountains, southern California, by Ivan 
T. Johnston (no. 1815), and known from two other 
collections in the same range (Johnston 1595, 1807) has 
more recently been gathered in the neighboring San 
Bernardino Mountains by Mr. C. F. Saunders. Mr. 
Saunders’ plants were collected September 14, 1921, on 
the side of Snow Canyon, at an elevation of 1,800 meters, 
from the chinks and base of rocks in sunny situations. 
It was locally abundant, matting the rocks where 1t 
grew. Snow Canyon is otherwise of interest as being 
the only known California station for Dryopteris filiz- 
mas.
