THE FERN BULLETIN 



Both Notholaena sinuata and N. ferruginca usually 

 grow erect in the soil among the rocks. The latter is 

 often found in the pockets of the rocks apparently with- 

 out soil and it is then a small plant. With good soil 

 both grow two feet in height. 



With the exceptions mentioned, all are found plenti- 

 fully if the ground is not too closely fed by the stock- 

 men. 



I found but one plant of Notholaena aschenborniana, 

 though I may have passed if often supposing it to be 

 N. ferruginea. Asplenium glenniei has the general ap- 

 pearance of an Arizona Woodsia. Then too, it may 

 ripen too early for fall collectors. I never found it. 



Three plants of a Nephrodium were found at 9,000 

 feet in the Chiricahuas in Nov., 3907. The foliage had 

 dropped but the growth for the next year was different 

 from anything I had seen and the plants now are grow- 

 ing nicely under Joliet glass. These may be N. Mexi- 

 canum but I am not sure of the determination at this 

 writing. In Oct., 1908 I visited the same bank again 

 and worked it over for three clays without finding 

 another plant and thus this too may be an early ripener. 



A new Asplenium of the ebony stem group was also 

 found in 1907, and it too remains nameless. But I did 

 not find Woodzvardia radicans, Notholaena Lemmoni, 

 N. uivca; Cheilanthes Pringlei, C. Alabamensis, C. 

 myriophylla and C. microphylla ; Pellaea Hexuosa and 

 P. pulchclla; Asplenium firmum, A. Glenniei, A. sep- 

 tentrionale and A. Mix foemina; Woodsia seopuliua 

 and IV. Oregana. These are reported from Arizona 

 but perhaps some are reported erroneously. 



Those I have found in Cochise County are as fol- 

 lows : 



Polypodium : falcatum, thysanolepis and hesperium.
