RE: Arizona Ferns


The greatest diversitiy of ferns I have seen is in the Chiracahua mountains.
Many trails such as the greenhouse trail have an abundance of dry growing
ferns such as Cheilanthes, Pityrogramma, etc.    These are mostly on the
rocky and sunny slopes there.  Others occur not far away but at higher
elevation in rustler park.
