Habitat, habit, and Puskars. A. Lygodium palmatum subsp. puskariorum grows in sunny gaps in moist acidic woods; B. Lygodium palmatum subsp. puskariorum has a twining habit with palmately lobed sterile leaflets and reduced fertile leaflets; C. Donna and Allan Puskar are the namesakes for the new taxon Lygodium palmatum subsp. puskariorum. Photograph by Matthew Puskar.	Figure 1. Habitat, habit, and Puskars. A.

Illustrated morphological terminology. Both subspecies of Lygodium palmatum have twining fronds with complex dissection patterns. The main identification characters are illustrated with photomicrographs taken at 20 × magnification, with the character state for Lygodium palmatum subsp. puskariorum outlined in light purple and the character state for Lygodium palmatum subsp. palmatum outlined in yellow. The dormant pinna bud character is invariant between subspecies and is outlined in both light purple and yellow. All photomicrographs for L. palmatum subsp. puskariorum are from a single representative specimen (Flentje 7; VPI 112295). All photomicrographs for L. palmatum subsp. palmatum are from one representative Massachusetts specimen (Ahles 78547; VPI 57060). The line drawing is modified from Ruth Sinclair George’s illustration (Small 1938).	Figure 2. Illustrated morphological terminology.

Distribution map. Populations of Lygodium palmatum subsp. puskariorum are depicted with yellow circles, and the holotype is indicated with a dark yellow diamond. Populations of Lygodium palmatum subsp. palmatum are depicted with purple circles. The provenance of the Lygodium palmatum subsp. palmatum holotype (Muhlenberg s. n.; Herb. Willd. 19484; B) is unknown, so it is not depicted on the map. Ecoregions are portrayed in tones of green and red. Dark shading indicates elevation.	Figure 3. Distribution map.
