3 A map showing the distribution of the life zones in the park is included. On the eastern slope of the park, the author collected many species of herbaceous plants.
POLYP ODIUM
In the woods the leaves are deep green, but in the open they are yellowish green. Plants consisting of a rhizome and leaves, the leaves coiled in the bud; leaves simple, or compound and composed of leaf-like needles; sporangia borne on lower surfaces or along leaf margins in clusters (sori); sori naked or with a special covering (indusium).
ATHYBIUM
Only a few isolated individuals were found by the writer about McDermott Lake, except in one swamp, where in the thick moss under scrub birch there were hundreds of plants. Leaves thin, do not remain green through the winter, the teeth hardly or not at all brush tips; indusium kidney-shaped, attached to its base 9.
POLYFODIUM L
ADIANTTJM L
