in his hand as P. andromedaefolia. This extension of 
range, though not remarkable, seems never to have 
been placed on record. The reported occurrence of 
this species in Arizona appears to have been based upon 
misidentified specimens of Pellaea intermedia Mett. 
SELAGINELLA SHELDONI Maxon.—The range of this 
recently described! ally of S. rupestris, of Texas and 
Oklahoma, is somewhat extended by the following 
Texas specimens, all in the herbarium of the Missouri 
Botanical Garden: Llano, October, 1847, Lindheimer 77; 
Llano County, on damp rocks, May, 1885, Reverchon; 
Hueco Tanks, July 1, 1895, A. Isabel Mulford 121; 
eanyon north of Van Hota: El Paso County, July 11, 
1900, Eggert. 
Woopsia scopuntinaA D. C. Eaton.—A remarkable 
apparent extension of the range of this chiefly western 
species was brought to the writer’s attention some time 
ago by Mr. C. A. Weatherby, who noted that a speci- 
men in the Gray Herbarium said to have been collected 
September 14, 1903, “on a mountain 4 miles north of 
Old Sweet, West Virginia, altitude 850 meters,” by 
Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Steele (No. 306), and distributed 
as W. ilvensis, seemed to be W. scopulina. The occur- 
rence of W. scopulina in the West Virginia mountains 
was regarded as so unlikely as to suggest the een 
of mixed labels. The National Herbarium specimen 
could not at once be located; but Mr. Steele, while 
having no special recollection of the plant, referred to 
the interesting occurrence in the region mentioned of 
other types adventive from the west and saw no reason 
to doubt the authenticity of locality data in this in- 
stance. The specimen, since found, substantiates Mr. 
Weatherby’s identification. Specimens of the same 
number were doubtless distributed to other herbaria
