Ferns Found in Vicinity of Sewanee 67 



It is probable that the "climbing fern," Lygodium palmatum of 

 the family Schizaeaceae, grows on the Cumberland plateau. I have 

 a specimen that was brought from Kentucky. 



During a visit to Sewanee in the summer of 1881, extending from 

 July 15 to August 15, I made a collection of the ferns enumerated 

 in the list here appended, with the exception of two, Woodsia obtusa 

 and Asplenium Ruta-muraria, which General Kirby-Smith, then a 

 professor at Sewanee, said grew in that vicinity. General Kirby- 

 Smith had in his collection at that time specimens of all the ferns of 

 the list here given except one, Onoclea sensibilis, I believe.
