Has. Adam's Peak, Ceylon. Dr. Emerson—This fine 
plant is nearly two feet in height ; the stem bare of branches 
below, but furnished with appressed leaves and stipules. 
The cauline leaves among the branches are horizontally 
patent, very broad, and the stipules remarkable for their 
great breadth, and for being so suddenly acuminated as to 
form an evident mucro. It approaches near to L. atro-viride 
in foliage, but is a much more erect plant, and of more 
rigid texture,

Caule erecto inferne nudo aphyllo teretiusculo superne 
ramosissimo, ramis pinnatis approximatis angulatis, foliis 
horizontaliter patentibus coriaceis rigidis oblongis subfalcatis 
brevi-acuminatis basi superiore dilatato inferiore decurrente 
Mtegerrimo, stipulis lanceolato-acuminatis subcarinatis 
erectis strietis basi insigniter decurrentibus, spicis brevibus. 
Has, Madagascar. Dr. Lyall, “n. 265."— This species, 
although widely distinct from L. pectinatum of Willdenow, 
and having much smaller foliage, yet resembles it in its rigid 
texture, and in the general form of the leaves and stipules.

Has, Penang and Singapore. Dr. Wallich. Madras. Dr. 
Dr. Shuter.— There is a peculiarity in the under-side of 
the leaves of this Lycopodium, which we have not observed in 
any other species, namely, that on each side of the midrib, 
tween it and the margin, there is a pale whitish line, ap- 
Parently caused by the epidermis being there loosened or freed 
m the parenchymatous substance. The stem 1s rounded, 
and not unfrequently stoloniferous. The figure 1m — 
Muse. t, 66, f. 8, (from the East Indies) agrees with our p EF 
m general aspect, but is far too small.
