Abstract

The earliest resultful work done in Pteridophytes, very closely similar to Botrychium Virginianum Swartz, was the work of Goebel (1890) on the Ophioglossales. Bower (1890) followed Goebel in his work on the Ophioglossales. He completed a work in 1896, which according to Burlingame (1907), who also did valuable work on the Ophioglossales, is the most comprehensive and satisfactory that has thus far been done. This work had a stimulating effect upon the early study of Botrychium Virginianum Swartz because of the almost entirely similar histology of the two plants. Burlingame’s (1907) work in the Ophioglossales, was done in 1907. He is the most recent worker on this plant. He concentrated his study upon the sporange.
