NARROW (formerly Long) BEE CHFERN. Thelypteris phegopteris. This specimen
was found in early Sept. on a moist wooded hillside on the Don River, near Toronto. It may
also be found on cliffs. It may easily be recognized by the noticeable downward and forward
position of the lowest pair of pinnae. Downy, triangle-shaped, bright green fronds wither early.
