Phegopteris reptans. In hammocks ; quite rare. Grows 

 a few feet nearer surface than the preceding. Has not 

 only upright growing fronds, but also those that creep 

 and root, as shown by specimens. 



Triehomanes Kraussii, sheet fern. In hammocks. 

 Grows on walls anywhere below the surface, either on 

 wood or rock ; quite abundant and exceedingly pretty, 

 often covering entire walls. 



Nephrodium patens. Hammocks, in rich, moist places ; 

 tall ; quite common in Florida ; very beautiful, growing 

 very much like the tree ferns of Jamaica. 



Polypodium phyllitidis. Common. Grows all over the 

 southern part of the State in shady situations, on the 

 ground as well as on rotted logs, stumps, and even on 

 live trees along with Tillandsias ; often grows to the 

 height of four feet. 



Polypodium incanum. Common. Grows on trees, par- 

 ticularly on live oaks. Often called resurrection fern in 

 Florida. I had difficulty in getting live fronds this time 

 of the year. 



Polypodium swart zii. Very rare ; only found in two 

 places in the State. Grows on the ground and climbs 

 trees to a height of 12 feet. Exceedingly beautiful (I 

 send pressed specimens). Where we found it was a 

 dense jungle extending over about half an acre. 



Adiantum tenerum. Common in southern Florida, 

 in very moist and well-shaded hammocks. Grows to the 

 height of two and half feet. In one place we found it 

 exceedingly abundant and a beautiful sight it was. It 

 is largely used in the hotels belonging to the Florida East 

 Coast Railroad as a table (and exchange) decoration. 



Pteris longifolia. Quite common in extreme southern 

 Florida on rocky land. 



Vittaria lineata. With long grass-like fronds. It 

 grows in dense hammocks on- cabbage palmetto trees. 

 Often covering the trunk with its beautiful fringe-like 

 foliage ; quite common. 



Xephrodium unitum glabrum. Common in the State. 

 Grows in wet places along rivers.
