Desvaux to be the Z, tenue of Humboldt. Then, we possess 
individuals which have all the characters of L. acerosum in 
their lower part, but which pass insensibly into L. filiforme 
upwards. The form of the leaves and scales is exceedingly 
variable, even on the same plant, and it must be even 
confessed, that there is little to distinguish the smaller 
states of L. dichotomum of Swartz, from robust individuals 
of L. acerosum. We must not omit to mention that Dr. 
Blume has also remarked, that L. pulcherrimum of Wallich, 
(Hook, et Grev. Ic. Fil. t. 38.) scarcely differs from L. dicho- 
tomum, except in its shorter, more remote, and more 
obtuse leaves.
