By Willard N. Clute. 



{Continued. ) 



Cheilanthes S\v. 



71. C. microp/iylla Sw. Abundant. Found on dry rocks and 



walls, as well as in shady places. On the north side of 

 the island it frequently envelopes the stone fences. (243). 



Pteris L. 



72. P. pedata L. On dry banks at Gordon Town, rare. This 



is easily mistaken for Pel la a geranicrfolia, and I saw 

 specimens so marked in Kingston. (301). 



73. P. longif'olia L. Abundant on dry banks from sea-level 



to the mountain-tops. (85). 



74. P. grandifolia L. Common at slight elevations. Gor- 



don Town. This is a magnificent fern. It is simply 

 pinnate, often ten feet long and nearly three feet wide. 

 In wet shades. (40). 



75. P. quadriaurita Retz. Plentiful at Cinchona. (133). 



76. P. podophylla Sw. Common at Morce's Gap and else- 



where in the mountains. A fern of striking aspect, the 

 stipe erect, often as tall as a man, bearing a fiat- 

 spreading star-like frond which is often a yard or more 

 across. (204). 



77. P. laciniata Willd. A large and flesh)* species, almost an 



exact image of Lonchitis aurita, both in fruiting and 

 in the cutting and vestiture of the fronds. Cinchona, 

 not common. (186). 



78. P. incisa Thunb. Openings in the woods at New Haven 



Gap. Not common. Has much the aspect of the 

 Bracken in the Northeastern States. The foliage is a 

 light blue-green and appears as if covered with bloom. 

 (109). 



79. P. heterophylla L. Common at Bath Fountain. Has 



considerable likeness to our Pellcea gracilis, but larger. 

 (2S4). 



80. P. caudata L. Abundant on all the upland slopes in full 



sun. Fronds eight feet or more tall, the pinna? spread- 

 ing in all directions. Not ternate. (182). 



*Begun in July, igoo.
