Has. Kamoon. Dr. JVallich.—'This is one of the most 
singular and distinct species of the genus. So closely are 
its leaves and stipules imbricated, and so similar are they to 
each other in general size and shape, that, upon looking at the 
upper side of the plant, they have the appearance of being 
Jolia undique inserta ; whilst, on the opposite side, the dis- 
tichous arrangement is conspicuous ; and, so closely are they 
there applied to each other, as to resemble the coat of an 
Armadillo, ‘These leaves, too, are different in their texture 
from any other species, and much like those of some Poly- 
tricha, or, in miniature, of some small-leaved Aloes.

Has. At the River Rapty, Nepal. Dr. JWallich.—This 
Lycopodium is remarkable for its rigid and elastic stems, 
which are straight, covered with leayes and stipules, 
exactly resembling each other, and so closely appressed, as 
wholly to conceal the stem. The plant is 8-12 inches 
high, of rather a full green colour, paler beneath. The 
character of L. involvens, as given by Swartz, shows that it 
is nearly allied to the present species. Our specimens, how- 
ever, differ, as far as we can judge from the description, an 
are not convoluted in so remarkable a degree.
