Adiantumshastense, a new species of maidenhair fern from California.
Abstract
A new species of Adiantum is described from California. This species is endemic to
northern California and is currently known only from Shasta County. We describe its
discovery after first being collected over a century ago and distinguish it from Adiantumjordanii
and Adiantumcapillus-veneris. It is evergreen and is sometimes, but not always, associated
with limestone. The range of Adiantumshastense Huiet & A.R.Sm., sp. nov., is similar
to several other Shasta County endemics that occur in the mesic forests of the Eastern
Klamath Range, close to Shasta Lake, on limestone and metasedimentary substrates.
