San Jacinto Mts., growing in stony soil on dry slopes, at 6,000 

 to 8.000 feet alt. ; and it has also been collected by Brandegee in 

 the Providence Mts., in the Mojave desert. 



Pcllaca dcnsa Hook. A common species in the Sierra Nevada 

 at from 6,000 to 8,000 feet alt., from Mineral King Mt., in Tulare 

 county to Mt. Shasta, and thence northward to British Columbia. 

 It grows in the crevices of rocks. 



Pcllaca Bridgcsii Hook. An apparently rare species of high 

 altitudes in the Sierra Nevada ; its range poorly defined. It has 

 been collected at Webber Lake by Lemmon ; in Placer county by 

 Sonne ; on the Merced river by Kellogg, and in Amador county 

 by Hansen. 



Pcllaca flcxuosa Link, has been credited to California, 



but the reference is almost certainly erroneous. 



Lomaria S pic ant Desv. Deer eern. This northern fern is 

 rather rare from northern California near the coast, as far south 

 as Santa Cruz, which is the limit of its range in that direction. 

 It is found growing in soil in coniferous forests. 



Woodii'ardia radicans Smith. The range of this species ex- 

 tends ( from Mendocino county to San Diego, commoner in the 

 lower hills, but at the south attaining an altitude of 5.000 feet. 

 It inhabits wet. shaded places, as the rocky banks of streams, or 

 the edges of springs, growing luxuriantly, the fronds often six 

 to eight feet in length. 



Asplcnium vcspcrtinum Maxon. Not uncommon in moist, 

 shady places in the mountains of San Diego county, below 3.000 

 feet alt. The type was collected by Miss L. F. Kimball, in San 

 Miguel Mt.. and I have specimens from Witch Creek, Pala and 

 Poway. In Los Angeles county it was collected by McClatchie 

 at Pasadena, and a few plants were found by Mr. W. G. Wright 

 near San Bernardino, its inland limit. 



In the Botany of California, Dr. Eaton reports a single 



collection, in 1855, on Mt. Diablo, of A. Trichomancs L., of which 

 species he regarded what is now called A. vcspcrtinum as a 

 variety. It does not appear to- have been met with again, although 

 that mountain has been explored often since. 



Athyrium Filix-foemina Roth. Lady fern. Growing about 

 springs and boggy places in the mountains throughout the State. 

 In the south it is not found below 5.000 feet alt. Various forms 

 occur, probably throughout its entire range.
