they flourish in abundance. In woods a mile back from 
the ocean, in a radius of half a mile, eleven species grew. 
I have personally found all the ferns mentioned, except 
1. BorrycHrum oBLiguuM Mubhl. 
I have not found this common. At the first station 
it grew in an old field under a scattering growth of 
Magnolia grandiflora; the location was quite dry. Sec- 
ond station, in a pasture among pine stumps, also dry. 
Third station, in oak woods near the ocean; there were 
only two plants, but they were the finest of all.

In February, 1914, on the outskirts of the city I 
found a colony of plants new to me, the fruiting fronds 
had disappeared. I watched the place anxiously; as 
houses were going up close to the ferns I feared one 
might be built where the ferns grew before they came 
up and fruited. However, fortune favored me and I 
collected a number of good specimens in October.

The late A. H. Curtiss reported it as “extending 
northward nearly to St. Augustine.” I found it grow- 
ing on live oaks and cabbage palms near Pablo Beach, 
also on a large exposed root of Magnolia grandiflora on 
the bank of the St. John’s River, at Ortega, six miles 
from this city. Not common.
