60 AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
podium polypodiodes was noted covering the face of 
a sandstone ledge where it rises from the edge of a creek. 
The two rarest species appear to be Adiantum capil- 
lus-veneris and Osmunda regalis. Near Fairfax, along 
the foot of a dripping sandstone cliff is a fifty-foot bank 
of the Venus-hair fern. Another large colony was 
seen in Logan County near Guthrie. Of the royal 
fern only three or four plants were found, but the locality 
was not thoroughly explored. The plants were growing 
at the edge of a small pool along a spring fed branch— 
a rarity in this region. 
One fern-ally, Selaginella rupestris, has been men- 
tioned. The only other noted is Equisetum hyemale 
intermedium (E. laevigatum as interpreted by Mr. B. F. 
Bush). It is common here as elsewhere in north central 
Oklahoma. 
This list is small, comprising only 17 species in all, 
but it is considerably larger than the first impressions 
of the region would lead one to expect. The absence 
of the Christmas and maidenhair ferns is noteworthy 
as they are both abundant to the north and east In 
Kansas and Missouri.

A New Sration ror Botrycurum LuNARIA IN VER- 
MONT.—It was on the afternoon of July 9, 1917, while 
I was taking a little trip over the hills in a typical Ver- 
mont pasture, that I located a small colony of Botry- 
chium Lunaria. I had never seen it growing before 
but recognized it immediately from the fleshy texture 
and crescent shape of the pinnules. It was somew! at 
past the prime of its fruiting season but I cut two oF 
three specimens close to the ground, marked the spot 
and left the others to grow. 
My two best specimens were about four inches tall 
and the sterile segments have nine and eleven divisions
