Pellaea andromedifolia (Kaulf.) Fée

30. Tellaea andromedaefolia, var. rubescjens, Bak^;-AThis ;
<form, incidentally mentioned in the “Fernsof North' ?Am«4ica;’’- i&
very rare in collections. It has been found near Sàn £)iegoby'PrOf.
- Wood ; in the mountains near “ Live-Oak Greek ” by the botanists of
the Mexjcan Boundary Survey ; and. recently, on the g San Francisco
Mountain, ift Arizona, by Rev: E. L. Greene. Mr. H. H. Rusby
has also collected rit somewhere in Arizona or* New Mexico, and
U'	throughan error, of- mine has distributed it asP.\$&xuosa. lln gen-
eral, the pinnules are larger than in the smooth forms oi P; androm-
edaefolia, anà. often more cordate ; the rachises are finely pubescent
and almost glandular, and the frond shows such an approach toward
the characters of P.flexuosa that one might easily be in doubt to
which species-a^specimen should be referred. The real P. flexuosa
has the primary pinnae more or less deflexed, often very much -so,
and occurs with thè Tachis either> smooth or jpubescent.
