THE FERN BULLETIN 



Lawrence County. The surface rock is the Mitchell 

 limestone which furnishes many cliffs on the farm. 

 Species noted : 



Botrychium Virginianum, Cystopieris fragilis, C. 

 bulbifcra (A cliff was covered with profusion of fine 

 specimens). Nephr odium acrostichoidcs, N. nove- 

 boraccnse, Phegopteris hexagonoptera, Camptosoms 

 rhisophylluSj Asplenium angustifolium, A. ebencum, 

 Athyrium thelypteroidcs, A. filix-foemina, Adiantum 

 pedatum. 



Martin and Orange Counties. 



The ferns identified in these counties were collected 

 on a walking trip from Indiana Springs, Martin 

 County to French Lick Springs, Orange County. 

 Both sandstone and limestone cliffs occur but 

 nearly all the species listed here were found in the 

 sandstone area. Many other species could undoubtedly 

 be found in other parts of the counties. 



Botrychium Virginianum, Onoclea sensibilis, W ood- 

 sia obtusa, Dicksonia pilosiuscula, Cysiopteris fragUis 

 Nephrodium acrostichoides, N. marginale, N. goldie- 

 anum J A r . spinulosum intermedium, Phegopteris 

 hexagonoptera, Camptosoms rhizophyllus, Asplenium 

 pinnatifidum, A. ebencum, A. angustifolium, Athy- 

 rium thelypteroides, Adiantum pedatum, Pellaea 

 atropurpurea, Polypodium vulgare, P. incanum. The 

 last species was seen in the forks of a tree about 

 eighteen feet above the earth, on the grounds of the 

 French Lick Springs Hotel, and having no means of 

 reaching it, the identification is based on the habit of 

 the species of growing in trees. ( See Floyd County 

 list).
