LYGODIUM KAULFUSII Heer.
LYGODIUM KAULFUSII Heer. Newberry, Later Extinct
Floras, p. 1, Pl. LXII, figs. 1—4, 1898.
Lygodium neuropteroides Lesq., Tert. Fl., p.
61, Pl. V, figs. 4—7; Pl. VI, fig. 1, 1878; Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus.,
Vol. XI, p. 24, 1888.
As it now seems pretty generally agreed that
Lesquereux's Lygodium neuropteroides is the same as L.
Kaulfusii of Heer, all the Oregon material has been so referred.
The material from Cherry Creek collected by Major
Bendire embraces some forty more or less perfect examples.a The
expedition of the University of California of 1900 obtained four
examples of this species at Cherry Creek in a matrix corresponding to
that first mentioned above, and a number of additional specimens were
obtained by Dr. Merriam and myself at the same place in 1901.
Locality.—Cherry Creek, Crook County,
Oregon. Collected by Maj. Charles E. Bendire (U. S. Nat. Mus., No.
2505), by Merriam's party in 1900 (Mus. Univ. Cal., Nos. 176, 177, 183,
224), and by Knowlton and Merriam in 1901 (U. S. Nat. Mus., Nos.
9059—9066).
a As already pointed out (ante p. 13) the
material in the United States National Museum under this number appears
to consist of two very distinct lots. Only those known to have come from
Cherry creek are hare referred to.
