NOTES ON FERNS SEEN DURING THE SUMMER
OF 1908

tyryopteris Goldieana x marginalis Dowell.
A second locality for this interesting hybrid is to be recorded,
t;h0 Green Lake region near Jamesville, N. <Y., where so many
ferns are found. The original collection of D. Goldieana x inter-
W$4ia Dowell was made it) the same region, and the trip in ques-
tion had in view the finding of this fern, but it was not secured
again although the parent species were seen in abundance and
often in close proximity. Two rather small but fruiting plants
of D. Goldieana x marginalis were found, evidently ofif-shoots of
a single original plant. The plants are now growing at the New
Yprk Botanical Garden where they will not only have good con-
ations for growth, but will also he protected from chance injury
by*cattle, or careless or ignorant collectors. It is suggested that
rare ’hybrids constitute a type of plant which it is advisable
always '‘fcq'^protect by transplanting if proper care can be given
them, since otherwise a locality may easily happen to be lost or
destroyed.
