The Fern Bulletin, October 1903: A Quarterly Devoted to Ferns
Various
Ferns
In the preparation of this list I have consulted various local floras
and other reports of the State, especially Paine’s “Catalogue of Plants
Found in Oneida County and Vicinity;” the Annual Reports of the State
Botanist, “The Flora of the Upper Susquehanna,” and the files of the
Fern Bulletin. I have also been favored with many notes from the State
Herbarium sheets by Professor Peck himself; while my own herbarium and
that of Dr. J. V. Haberer, of Utica, have been exceedingly useful in
fixing definite localities.
The plan I have followed is to include along with the species only such
varieties as seem to be most important and distinct.
Mr. Bush in _The Torrey Bulletin_ for June, 1903, enumerates 59 species
and varieties of ferns found in Texas. This compares well with our list
of 64 species and varieties in New York State, of which only 18 of these
are common to both States. Mr. Reverchon’s list for Texas, published in
the Fern Bulletin, April, 1903, gives 51 ferns and 15 allies, or 66 in
all. The present list includes 53 species and 12 varieties of ferns, and
23 species and 7 varieties of fern allies. If we take Bush’s ferns and
Reverchon’s allies, there are 74 species and varieties known in Texas,
or 20 less than I have enumerated in New York.
Ophioglossaceae.
_Botrychium lanceolatum_ Angs. Open upland woods in the eastern part of
State. Not reported from western part. Scarce.
_Botrychium matricariaefolium_ A. Br. In same localities with _B.
lanceolatum_, but more plentiful.
_Botrychium obliquum_ Muhl. Grape fern. Abundant in pastures and
woodlands, especially in the central part of the State.
_Botrychium obliquum dissectum_ Clute. In similar places with _B.
obliquum_ and always associated with it. Frequent.
_Botrychium obliquum f. elongatum_ Gilbert & Haberer. Scarce in
pastures, eastern New York.
_Botrychium obliquum Habereri_ Gilbert. Scarce. Mohawk Valley, Catskill
Mts., and probably occasional elsewhere.
_Botrychium obliquum intermedium_ Clute. Pastures. Occasional in the
eastern part of the State.
_Botrychium obliquum matricarioides_ Gilbert. Beaver Lake. Lewis Co.;
Whitestown: _Gilbert_. I have seen no other specimens from this State,
but Dr. Underwood cites “Northern New England and New York.” (_Osmunda
matricariae_ Schrank.)
_Botrychium obliquum Oneidense_ Clute. Pastures and open woods.
Occasional.
_Botrychium obliquum tenuifolium_ Gilbert. Field near top of mountain.
Shandaken, Ulster Co., _Mary F. Miller_. As I possess tracings of Dr.
Underwood’s type specimens of B. _tenuifolium_ Und., I am able to say
that these specimens from Shandaken match the tracings completely. (_B.
tenuifolium_ Und.)
_Botrychium Onondagense_ Underwood. Within a radius of five miles from
Syracuse. The stations there are the only ones known in the State.
_Botrychium simplex_ E. Hitchcock. Damp meadows and sandy swamps in
Central and Northern New York. Also Wading River. L. I., _E. F. Miller_.
