Description |
Landscape view of winter ferns. Verso reads, "Dense ground cover of what is locally known as winter ferns whose leaves are often 4 to 5 feet long. This growth is peculiar to the north and west slopes with slight variations in this region, and denotes excessive moisture with but little sunlight. There is no reproduction of any species in such of these ferns. Near the Junction of Big and Little Black Mountain about 300 feet north of the butt of Middle Ridge. Harlan County, Kentucky. 9:35 A.M., September 22, 1905. Partly shaded. Exposure by G. M. Homans of the U. S. Bureau of Forestry." |
