Recent additions to the fern site :

• Unfortunately, only a few new observations in 2001... :
  
  
  • Dryopteris affinis ssp cambrensis, Saint Julien-en-Vercors (Drôme), alt. 985 m. From Rémi Prelli who determined our sample, it is the first mention of this subspecies in the Drôme department, a subspecies which otherwise is well represented in the Alps.
    

    A description and some photos will be added soon.
