—or THE—

‘eran DISTRIBUTION OF ee PARY

attention of Botanists is called to a large distribution of interesting pl: ints collected

r 10 years’ extensive exploration of Washington Territory, Oregon, Califor nia, Nevada

rizona. This distribution embraces all the collections of all the Orders after Composite,

r those which we were unable to select labels for and pack up last winter, to which we can
now add an immense number of rare and new plants collected during « six months’ arduous and

sMlangerous exploration of the Huachuca range of mountains of Arizona, near the Mexican boun-
dary. This range, like that of the Chirricahua Mts., explored last year, is a lofty, rugged,

well-watered and greatly diversified range that is still infested with savage Apaches, marauding
Cow-boys and Mexican outlaws, Despite these fearful circumstances, the whole season was
spent collecting in the one range of Huachuca, and unusual care was tekou to collect the rich
flora at various stages of growth and to make characteristic and ample botanical specimens—as
good as the best ever sent from the Pacific coast.

The number is so large that the authorities must have several weeks to determine them;
meanwhile, they will be distributed under numbers, the names to be supplied to our patrons as
soon as reported.

PACHRIC COAST FERNS.

INTRODUCTION.

The great Order of Filices, or Ferns, is primarily divided into
five Sub- Orders, based upon the structure, form, and disposition of
the spore case, or sporangium.

It happens that the first of these Sub-Orders (Polypodiacee),
includes all the Ferns of the Pacific Coast. This wil! not be a
matter of surprise, when it is seen that nearly all the North Amer-
ican species are of this Sub-Order, as well as 2 of all known
species, being about 3,000.

The Sub-Order Polypodiacee is distinguished from the other
four by having the spore-cases stalked; that is, each case is up-
held by a little stipe or foot-stalk, corresponding to the peduncle
in flowering plants.

The spores are infinitesimally minute cells of protoplasm, en-
dowed with life. They are generated by hundreds in these globu-
lar cases, called collectively Sporangia—from “ spore,” a minute
germ, and “ angios,” a vessel.

These stalked sporangia are found to be variously arranged
upon the frond, either collected into roundish dots or disposed in
lines along the veins, or at their ends; also they are covered, —
more or less, by an indusium composed of the recurved margin
of the frond, or by special membranes; and upon these charac-
ters are based the distinctions that are seized upon to separate
this large group into ten 7Zribes, containing from one to five
genera each.

t

Six of these 7Z7rides including fifteen genera are represented on
the Pacific Coast. This limitation, it will be found, greatly fa-
cilitates acquaintance with this beautiful class of plants.

SYNOPSIS OF TRIBES AND GENERA.—SUB-.ORDER
POLY PODIACEZ:.

Sporangia globular, or slightly flattened laterally, collected in
patches, dots, or lines, called sori, of various shapes, all stalked
and provided with a vertical, incomplete, many-jointed ring of
larger cells, which straightens at maturity, bursting the less firmly
united wall plates, and scattering the minute spores. These
sori are either naked or covered by indusium in several ways.

TRIBE 1, POLYPODIEA. Indusium none. Sori round or
oblong, placed on or at the ends of the veinlets. Stalk articulated
to the creeping root; containing but one genus.

1. Potypopium. Character same as the Tribe.

TRIBE Il, GRAMMITIDE. Indusium none. Sori more
or less elongated, placed on the under side of tlie fronds or into
divisions, and either following along the veins or collected at
their tips, near the margin. Fronds either scaly, tomentose, or
powdered beneath. T'wo genera.

2. GyMNoGRAMME. Sori much elongated, following the veins,
and, like them, often branched.

3. Nornotana. Sori but little elongated, often of very few
sporangia, placed across the veins, near the margins of the frond
or its lobes.

TRIBE Lil, PTERIDEA. Involucre consisting of the mar-
gin of the frond turned inward, and covering, when young, the
sori, which are close to the margin or extending down the veins.
Five genera.

4, CHEILANTHES. Sori minute, at the ends of the veins, cov-
ered by a usually interrupted involucre. Ferns small, often
wooly, scaly, or glandular.

5. Pettaa. Sori near the ends of the veins, often confluent.
Involucre continuous around the pinules. Sterile and fertile fronds
much alike and smooth, the stalk dark-colored.

6. CryproGRAMME. Sori extending down the free veins. In-

a

5
volucre very broad; at length flattened out, exposing the now
confluent sori. Sterile and fertile fronds unlike; stalk light-
colored.

7. Preris. Sporangia borne on a continuous, vein-like, mar-
ginal receptacle, which connects the ends of the veins. Involucre
continuous around the pinules; stalk light-colored.

8. ApiantuM, Sporangia borne at the ends of the veins, on
the under side of the reflexed and membranous margin of the
frond. Mid-vein of the pinules mostly eccentric or dissipated into
forking -veinlets. Stalk dark-colored.

TRIBE IV, BLECHNE. Indusium a special membrane
usually coneave or arched over the sorus, and opened at maturity
along the inner edge. Sori more or less elongated, borne on a
veinlet or a special receptacle parallel to the midrib. Two genera.

9. Lomaria. Sori continuous from the base of the pinna to
its apex. Sterile and fertile fronds unlike. Veins free.

10. Woopwarpta. Sori interrupted, forming a chain-like row
each side of the mid-rib. Fronds all alike, and, in our species,
very large. Veins reticulated.

TRIBE V, ASPLENIE. Sori more or less elongated,
borne on veins oblique to the mid-rib, covered by a special, usually
flattened indusium. Indusium attached to the fertile veinlet by
the outer edge. Only one genus.

11. AspLeNiumM. The only genus represented.

TRIBE VI, ASPIDIE. Sori orbicular, or roundish, on the
back, or sometimes on the tip of the fertile veinlets, (naked in
Phegopteris,) provided with a special indusium, which is variously
shaped. Four genera.

12. Pnecorreris. Indusium wanting. Sori very small, dot-
like, borne on the back of the fruiting veinlets.

13. Asprp1um. Indusium orbicular or reniform. Sori borne
on the backs or at the tips of the veinlets.

14. Cystopreris. Indusium convex, spoon-shaped, fixed across
the fertile veinlet, below the sori, reflexing as the fruit ripens.

15. Woopsra. Indusium globular, placed beneath the sorus,
and at first enveloping it, then splitting into segments, and turn-
ing back.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Mrs. J. G. Lemmon contemplates publishing a “ Manual of
Pacific Ferns,” as soon as the necessary illustrations can be pre-
pared. This work will give complete descriptions, both technical
and popular, and, it is believed, will supply along-felt want on this
coast.

Specimens of the new or rare ferns put up in herbarium books,
or mounted on souvenir cards as desired. New ferns, 25 cents
each ; all others, 10 cents.

Full or partial sets of the Flowering Plants of any region of the
Pacific Coast and Arizona, including all the lately discovered spe-
cies, correctly named, and carefully packed for transportation by
mail or express to any part of the world. Price, per hundred
$7.50. (Supplying characteristic species of any region for class
illustration, a specialty.)
