Several interesting ferns have been found within a short distance of 

 the town line but not within its limits. Among these are the alpine 

 Woodsia, Woodsia alpina (Bolt.) S. F. Gray, {W. hyperborea R. Br.) and 

 the fragrant shield fern, Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott., (Aspidium 

 fragrans Sw.). Both have been found on rocky cliffs at Cascade lake 

 near the east line, and at Avalanche lake near the south line. Botrychiiwi 

 lanceolatum (S. G. Gmel.) Angs. and Pellaea Sfelleri (S. G. Gmel.) Watt., 

 {Pellaea gracilis Hook.) have also been found at Cascade lake. The 

 latter is limited to a small place near the top of the cascade where there 

 is a deposit of crystalline limestone.
