Has. Margins of the craters of volcanic mountains, in 
Java. Dr. Blume.—Allied to L. curvatum of Swartz, (our L. 
cernuum, var.), but differing, according to Blume, in its root- 
ing stem, often bifid spikes, and in the flat and less patent 
scales.

Caule elongato repente, ramis erectis brevibus dense fas- 
tigiatim dichotome divisis, foliis undique imbricatis nunc 
quadrifariis erectis tereti-subulatis aristato-acuminatis, spicis 
sessilibus cylindraceis solitariis, squamis cordato-acuminatis 
patentibus integerrimis.—L. alpinum. Mich. Fl. Bor. Amer. 
v. 2. p. 282. —L. armatum. Desv. Enc. Bot. Suppl. v. 3. p. 544. 
Has. In Canada. Michaux. Banks of the Saskatchawan. 
Richardson and Drummond. Java. Dr. Blume.—This Lyco- 
podium seems to be extremely rare in Canada. We our- 
selves never saw specimens until they were collected in 
Captain Sir John Franklin’s Second J ourney. In habit and 
fructification it almost exactly resembles L. alpinum ; but 
the leaves in, their insertion, form, and direction, are totally 
differ ent; the spikes, too, are smaller, and more slender. 
e true L. alpinum has only recently been found in America, 
upon the Rocky Mountains. L. sabinefolium has probably 
never hitherto been seen by any other author except 
Michaux, as all others have placed it in a wrong section. It 
IS very extraordinary that this, which is so extremely vcr 
in North America, should have been found on volcanic 
Mountains in Jaya, May not Dr. Blume's plant be a distinct 
Species ?
