A Collector's List of New Jersey Ferns

The following list represents collections made by the writer in the vicinity of Keyport and in other parts of New Jersey. Seventy-nine different forms are included, of which sixteen are in the genera Equisetum, Lycopodium, Selaginella and Isoetes, leaving the number of ferns at sixty-three. The list includes all but four of the fifty fern species recorded from New Jersey in Norman Taylor's recently published Flora of the Vicinity of New York and to a certain extent supplements that work, which takes no account of varieties and gives no localities at which the hybrids mentioned have actually been found. One of these hybrids, named here as Dryopteris Clintoniana x cristata, has never been regularly described,' but the plant is fairly distinct and not difficult to recognize. The plants mentioned in the list are all represented by herbarium specimens.
