(Scolopendrium vulgare Sm.) 



In the rich humus, covering the talus of limestone cliffs at Chit- 

 tenango Falls, under the dense shade of mixed hardwoods and hem- 

 lock. H. D. House, June 9, 1914. No. S5°9- 



The species was first discovered at Chittenango Falls by Mr 

 William Cooper about 1830 and remained until 1857 the only Amer- 

 ican station definitely known, although it was earlier discovered at 

 Geddes, Onondaga county, by Frederick Pursh, on July 20, 1807. 

 For many years it was supposed that Pursh's locality was the Chit- 

 tenango Falls station until it was rediscovered at the Geddes locality 

 in 1879 by members of the Syracuse Botanical Club. In July 1898, 

 the fern was discovered at Perryville, Madison county, by Miss 

 Murray Ledyard of Cazenovia. 



A full and interesting history of the occurrence of this rare fern 

 in America is given by Mr William R. Maxon in Fernwort Papers,
