10. Woopwarpia Virernica J. E. Smith. 
In swampy places where it is somewhat shady they 
grow tall and are very dark green. About the margin 
of ponds in the pine barrens where they are exposed to 
full sunlight they grow hostel and stunted. 
11. ASPLENIUM EBENEUM Ait. 
Near the mouth of McGirts Creek, Ortega, close to 
the water’s edge on a pile of old brick was a vigorous 
growth of several hundred plants. Two years later 
they were nearly exterminated by a tiny insect. 
I also found this fern on the banks of the St. John’s 
river near Ortega. 
Just back of the sand dunes at Pablo Beach in the 
shade of some bushes I found a few plants; they were 
growing well though the location was uncongenial. 
12. ATHYRIUM FILIX-FOEMINA Roth. 
Not common, have only found a few stations. 
13. PoLYsTICHUM ACROSTICHOIDES Schott. 
On the damp mossy banks of a creek, the oniy station 
found. 
14. NepHrRopiuM THELYPTERIS L. 
In swamps, common. 
15. NepHROpIUM PATENS Desv. 
In rich woods; not very common. 
16. Neranopivu Fiormantm Hook. 
A handsome evergreen fern growing in rich moist 
places. 
17. ViTTARIA LINEATA Sm. Grass fern. 
Growing on palmettos near the ocean. When the 
palmettos grew in dry locations the pendent fronds 
were not more than three inches in length. Where the 
palms grew in swamps, the fronds were eight or ten 
inches long. 
There are two more that should be added to the list 
of ferns of this county. A. H. Curtiss, in his article
