Excerpt: ... MONTANA BOTANY NOTES MARCUS E. JONES After some four or five seasons spent in various parts of Montana, the last two being in the vicinity of Flathead Lake and the Sperry Glacier region, in connection with the Biological Station work of the State University, it seems advisable to publish at this time the new species and varieties discovered, and such changes of names as the critical field work has proved are needed. To this list is added such plants as are found for the first time within the Flathead drainage. Polypodium vulgare L. P. hesperium Maxon. This is found sparingly from McDonald lake in the Mission mountains, to MacDougal peak, both in the alpine and Middle Temperate life-zones, and also in the Sperry glacier region. The high altitude forms are diminutive, but the plants growing around Bigfork are the normal ones and show all sorts of intergrades. Phegopteris alpestris (Hoppe) Mett. This abounds in the alpine basins of the Bitter Root mountains at Como peak and in the Sperry Glacier region. It has doubtless been overlooked from its resemblance to Asplenium Filix foemina, and from its similar habit. Phegopteris polypodioides Fee. This grows at Gunsight pass in the alpine basin of the lake, just south of Sperry Glacier. Cheilanthes Feei, Moore. A form of this, with slightly larger final divisions grows sparingly at Mission Creek, and the Sperry Glacier; also found on Silloway peak by MacDougal, and at Sperry Glacier by Williams. This is wrongly referred-by Rydberg to C. gracillima. Cryptogramme Stelleri (Gmel.) Prantl. This has been found at Camass Lake by Williams, at Lake McDonald by Umbach, and by myself at Mission Creek. It grows in crevices of wet rocks, subalpine. Pellaea densa Brack is locally abundant at McDonald lake and on Mission Creek ...
