78 AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
is widely but sporadically distributed, sometimes in 
artificial habitats, in the southeastern states and other 
warm countries. 
ADIANTUM TENERUM Sw. 
On rocks. The pinnae of this species are usually 
described as deciduous, giving the impression that they 
do not remain green through the winter, as do those of 
the related A. Capillus-Veneris. But it seemed per- 
fectly evergreen at this time and place. However, it 
happens that the next day I visited the “ Devil’s Punch- 
bowl” near Brooksville, which is reputed to be a great 
place for maidenhair ferns, without seeing anything of 
the kind; so perhaps the pinnae do not always persist 
until the new fronds appear in spring. 
ASPLENIUM HETEROCHROUM Kunze. (A. muticum Gil- 
bert.') 
On rocks. Florida, Cuba, and Bermuda. Very similar 
to A. resiliens Kunze (A. parvulum Mart. & Gal.), which 
has a similar habitat but much wider range. 
ASPLENIUM ABSCISsUM Willd. (A. firmum Kunze. 
See Underwood, Torreya 7: 198. Oct. 1907.) 
Common on rocks. Also near Ocala, and elsewhere 
in peninsular Florida and tropical America. 
ASPLENIUM VERECUNDUM (Chapm.) Underwood, Bull. 
Torrey Club 33: 193. 1906. 
Common on rocks. Reported also from Jackson, 
Marion and Dade Counties. 
AsPLenium Currisstt Underwood, Bull. Torrey Club 
33: 194. 1906, 
On rocks. Known otherwise only from the vicinity — 
of Ocala, Marion County. This and the preceding were 
formerly referred to the West Indian A. myriophyllum 
and A. rhizophyllum. . .
