164 Lloyd and Underwood : A Review of the 



spreading, curved upwards, with thin apices, in four rows on the 

 flattened terminal and subterminal branchlets, those of the lateral 

 rows thicker and more curved than those of the upper and lower 

 rows: peduncles (1-5 cm. long, 1 mm. thick) produced from 

 stronger terete branches with their subulate bracts whorled or 

 scattered : strobiles 2-3 cm. long, with broadly ovate sporophylls 

 with short acute apices : sporangia reniform. 



Specimens have been examined as follows : 



Maine : Fort Kent, "in shade," June 15, 1898, M. L. Fernald 

 (G) ; Dover, "dry woods," Sept. 11, 1894, M. L. Fernald (G). 



Ontario: Peninsular Harbor, "barren, open prairie," Sept. 

 16, 1896, G. S. Miller, Jr. (G). 



Prince Edward Island : Brackley Point, Aug., 1888, J. 

 Macoun (U) ; Stanhope Road, Sept. 5, 1888, J. Macoun (C). 



Vermont: Rochester, "cold, mountain woods," Oct., 1892 

 (U, G) ; "cold, evergreen woods," Sept. 23, 1894, W. W. Eg- 

 gleston (G, C). 



15. L. chamaecyparissus A. Br.; Doell. Rhein Fl. 36. 1843 



l6. L. COMPLANATUM L. Sp. PI. I IO4. 1 753 



These two species have been recently discussed and illustrated. 

 Cf. Bull Torr. Club, 26: 559~5 6 7> pi* 3 7o } 15. N. 1899. 



The northwestern forms of L. complanatum lack the regular 

 compact fan-like habit of the eastern plant, but spread loosely and 

 irregularly and are apparently glaucous. The strobiles are often 

 solitary and in the dwarfed arctic forms of Alaska are very small 

 upon much reduced peduncles. There are, however, at present 

 only insufficient reasons for giving distinct specific rank to these 

 plants. L. complanatum, as it grows in Scandinavia, seems to 

 parallel the northwestern condition of the American plant.
