botans MRS. CHARLES ARTHUR MILES 118 HYDE PARK PLACE TAMPA, FLA. May 14th 1935 jm I nlVlrni r UM. My dear Dr.Small, - At last after oyer nine years this Stenoch- laena palustris has produced some fruiting fronds* I am inclosing a little piece of one, and when you tell me just how you want the fine fond sent to you, I will send it* The most perfect one is abfcut 20 inches long, and looks very much like an ostrich feather that has been wet. The spores are still green on the large frond, and I thought best to write you first before cutting it, thinking you might prefer the fully developed frond with the spores showing like this little piece. This fern I have learned came into Florida nearly 40 years ago, from Santiago Cuba, where the lady who brought it into Florida used to live* The one now fruiting was given to the owner by the daughter of the original owner, who lived near the Hillsboro River, and from whose plant the plants that were growing on the river must have sprung. The city later made a dumping ground of the location, and so the original plants were lost, but several ladies have plants growing in their gardens, the largest being in the garden of Mrs Mackintosh on the Hillsboro River, and this one that is the first to produce the fruit, is in Mrs Henry Brash1s garden,up on the Hillsboro Heights section of the city* Best wishes* Sincerely yours * 04180325 m Herbarium of The New York Botanical Garden ^.....A/L+ttA , I// J!/ld2c^ ' j (j 33. 04180325
