THE FERN BULLETIN 



Both X otholacna sinuata and N. ferruginea 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 X otholacna aschcnbomiana, 

 though I may have passed if often supposing it to be 

 M. ferruginea. Asplenia m glenniei has the general ap- 

 pearance of an Arizona W oodsia. Then too, it may 

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



Three plants of a Nepkrodium were found at 9,000 

 feet in the Chiricahuas in Nov., 3 907. 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 days without finding 

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



A new Asplenia in of the ebony stem group was also 

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

 not find Woodwardia radicans, NothoJaena Lemmoni, 

 X. nivea; Cheilanthes Pringlei, C. Alabamensis, C. 

 myriophyila and C. micro phylla ; Pcllaca fLexuosa and 

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

 tcntrionalc and A. filix focmina; IV oodsia scopulina 

 and W. Orcgana. 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.
