THE WEST VIRGINIA FLORA

Mr. Morris states that typical vulgare was common in the general region ; from this it differs in its much greater size, its scantier foliage, and in the shape of the pinnae. There are in the National Herbarium at least two specimens, col lected in West Virginia and North Carolina, which with plants collected at Great Falls, Fairfax County, Va., by William Palmer, are to be regarded as intermediate with typical vulgare, mossy boulders along the Blackwater Fork of Cheat River (Millspaugh).
