Sporophytes are 1-2 cm tall, thallus very irregular and hard to measure maybe a few millimeters wide. Tubers seem to be arising along margin and at apex. Spores are brown and have warty bumps on the distal surface. And there are these funky boney like things along with the spores that I'm guessing are pseudoelaters.

I was excited to find such a cool liverwort along the Pony Bridge trail! There were hundreds of these a couple of miles from the beginning of the trail in the temperate rainforest. My field guide calls Conocephalum conicum "Snake Liverwort" and this site calls it Great Scented Liverwort. I wish I'd tried smelling it.

Hard Shield Fern (Polystichum aculeatum)

Date

August 1907

Place

Private

Description

There are 4 mysterious specimen of shield fern, Polystichum sp., obviousely falsly identified as P. andersonii preserved at:

Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (France)
Collection : Vascular plants (P), Specimen P01493097 to P01493100

The leaves are very similar to European P. aculeatum, so i suspected for a while, the collector W.N. Suksdorf (born in Germany) might have introduced it to Washington, US.

P01493097 and ....98 referring to this report are labelled: Washington's Flora. Klickitat County. Aspidium aculeatum Sw. var., in sylva montis, Bingen, W.N. Suksdorf VIII 07.
The German Gardener and collector E.M. Reineck was in contact with Suksdorf and shall have got specimen from Washington, USA by him.
The herbarium P got both sheets from Reineck on 8th September 1910 as visible upon stamps.

Images of museum:

http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/p/p01493097
http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/p/p01493098

For sheets P01493099 and ....100 see here:

http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/855772

http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/p/p01493099
http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/p/p01493100

Unfortunately the collection's location is given very unprecisely, it could as well be identic with the sample of the year after (....99 + ....100).

This specimen could be big grown P. californicum with nearby fully bipinnate fronds, or some luxurating hybrid, i guess rather with P. braunii than andersonii.

It deviates from typical P. californicum in clearly shortened lowest pinnae, seeming more obtuse in some cases.
