Abstract
While studying the western North American species of the genus Pellaea in the herbarium of the University of California, three sheets of a well-marked and apparently new Pellaea, closely related to Pellaea ternifolia (Cav.) Link, were noted from the Cape Region of Baja California. The first collection was made by T. S. Brandegee in the Sierra de la Laguna in January, 1890; the second, in the Cape Region by Mr. Brandegee in 1893; the third, in the Laguna Mountains by Marcus E. Jones (no. 24556), in March 1928. It is here proposed to name this new species Pellaea Brandegeei, in honor of Townshend Stith Brandegee, its first collector.

However, all three collections are drawn upon in the following description:
