" Now you can form a definite idea of the habitat of the spe- 

 cies of my collection from the words borne by their tickets." 

 ' The numbers herein used should correspond to those on 

 Mr. Pringle's tickets accompanying his distribution. 



Acrostichum araneosum, D. C. Eaton (2590). Shaded cliffs 

 near Guadalajara, November, 1889. 



Fig. 71. — Asplenium Pringlei. — See page 448. 



Acrostichum spathulatum, Bory (2606). Cool damp bluffs 

 near Guadalajara, November, 1889. 



Adiantum concinnum, H. B. K. (1866). Moist shady banks 

 near Guadalajara, November, 1888. 



Adiantum convolutum, Fournier (1868). With 1866. 



Adiantum patens, Willd. (1869). Cool grassy slopes of the 

 Barranca, November, 1888. 



Adiantum tenerum, Swartz (3360). Cool ledges, Tamasopo 

 Canon, San Luis Potosi, 1890. 



Adiantum thalictroides, Willd. (1867). Moist shady banks, 

 Guadalajara, November, 1888. 



Adiantum tricholepis, F<*e (1981). Foot-hills near Monte- 

 rey, abundant; (1843) moist shady places in the Barranca, near 

 Guadalajara, December, 1888, scarce. 



Aneimia adiantifolia, Swartz (1977). Moist calcareous 

 river bluffs, Monterey, June, 1888. 



Aneimia hirsuta, Swz. (1833). 

 Moist slopes near Guadalajara, No- 

 vember, 1888, and with it a deeply 

 cut form approaching Baker's var. 

 tenella. 



Aneimia Mexicana, Klotzsch 

 (1976). Moist ledges and banks, 

 Sierra Madre, near Monterev, June, 

 1888. 



Aneimia phyllitidis, Swz. (3361). 

 Moist shady banks, Las Canoas, No- 

 vember, 1890. 



Aneimia tomentosa, Swz., van 

 fulva, Hooker and Baker (1834). 

 Moist slopes, near Guadalajara, No- 

 vember, 1888. 



ASPIDIUM ACROSTICHOIDES, Swz. 

 (2604). Sierra Madre, near Monte- 

 rey, August, 1889. 



ASPIDIUM ATHYRIOIDES, M. & G. 

 (N e p h r dium sypharocarpum, 

 Hook.), (1840). Wet banks and 

 ledges, near Guadalajara, Decem- 

 ber, 1888. This and A. patulum, it 

 seems to me, are scarcely more 

 than forms of one protean species, 

 A. Mexicanum. The differences be- 

 tween them all are hardly greater 

 than those which exist between the 

 different forms of A. spiniilosum. 



ASPIDIUM JUGLANDIFOLIUM (1982). 



Cool, shaded canons, near Monte- 

 rey, June, 1888 ; and again in Ta- 

 masopo Canon, June, 1890. 



Aspidium Mexicanum, Kunze 

 (2605). 



Aspidium patulum, Swz. (3362). 

 Shaded ledges, hills of Patzcuaro, 

 November, 1890. See remarks on 

 A. Athyrioides. 



Aspidium trifoliatum, Swz, 

 (1983). Wet ledges and banks, 

 Sierra Madre, near Monterey, June, 

 1888. 



Asplenium cicutarium, Swz. 

 (3365)- Rich soil, mountain sides, 

 Tamasopo Canon, November, 1890. 

 Specimens remarkably fine and 

 beautiful. 



Asplenium erectum, Bory (3413), 

 normal form ; (3412), var. prolife- 

 rum, Hooker, both from rich for- 

 ests, Tamasopo Canon, November, 

 1890; and (3367) var. sub-bipinna- 

 tum, Hook., from rich soil, moun- 

 tain sides, Tamasopo Canon, No- 

 vember, 1890. The last two very 

 proliferous. 



[NOTE. — I have preferred to fol- 

 low the authority of Sir William 

 Jackson Hooker here, in using 

 Bory's name in preference to A. 

 lunuiatum, Swartz, notwithstanding 

 the eminent authority of Mettenius 

 and Kunze, because, if, as Dr. 

 Hooker stated in the " Species Fili- 

 cum," no authentic specimen and 

 no authentic intelligible description 

 of Swartz's species exist, and if, as 

 Dr. Hooker asserted, the plant itself 

 was really unknown to Swartz, it is difficult to understand 

 upon what justifiable grounds the adoption of Swartz's name 

 rests.] 



Asplenium fragrans, Swz. (3364). On rocks and trees, 

 Tamasopo Canon, November, 1890. 



Asplenium furcatum, Thunb. (3363). On Oaks, hills, Patz- 

 cuaro, state of Machoacan, November, 1890. 



Asplenium Pringlei, n. sp. (1837). Root-stocks tufted ; 

 fronds clustered, 3' to 9' tall, %' to %' broad in the middle,
