ultimate pinnules 5-15 mm. long, ovate-oblong; texture 
subcoriaceous; veins evident, numerous, once or twice 
forked. 
Scholl’s Canyon, San Rafael Hills, Los Angeles Co., 
Cal., May 30, 1914. Geo. L. Moxley, No. 214. 
Known only from the type specimen in my herbarium. 
This species differs from P. andromedaefolia in its 
long, narrow frond and more herbaceous pinnules. 
Indeed in this latter respect it seems to more nearly 
approach section Cheiloplecton than Allosorus. The 
ultimate pinnules do not seem inclined to be revolute 
and the indusium is rather narrower than in P. andromed- 
aefolia, which is, however, probably its nearest ally.

Fern Trips in Virginia 
MARY LOUISE TUTTLE 
During the summer of 1914, we made several trips to 
Virginia in search of ferns. The results of these trips 
were so satisfactory that it seems quite possible that 
they would be of interest to the members of the Society. 
The first trip was to Rock Enon Springs, Frederick 
County, Va. This is reached by train to Winchester, 
and thence by coach or automobile some seventeen 
miles west to the Great North Mountair. The follow- 
ing ferns were collected during our stay: 
POLYPODIUM VULGARE. Common. 
PHEGOPTERIS HEXAGONOPTERA. Common.’ 
ADIANTUM PEDATUM. Common. 
PTERIS AQUILINA. Common. 
CHEILANTHES LANOSA (C. vestita). There is a good 
sized station located halfway between Gore and Rock 
Enon, on the west side of the road. Several plants had 
fronds at least twelve inches long.
