The Ferns of Crater Lake National Park
Wynd FL. 1929. The Ferns of Crater Lake National Park. American Fern Journal. 19(2):37-41
The ferns of Crater Lake have been very much overlooked by botanists in the past. This may have been due to the fact that the region is somewhat difficult to explore, and that a permanent camp is inconvenient to maintain; and then also even botanists are often in a hurry, and in the few days of a summer's vacation they naturally discover only the more obvious species. The check list of the ferns of Crater Lake National Park which is herewith submitted is based upon three seasons of continuous field work in this region. That it is complete is scarcely to be hoped, but it will serve to change the popular impression that only pines and sedges grow there.
