Has. Madras. Dr. Wight. This very fine species of Lyco- 
podium, which appears to extend to some feet in length, has, : 
the general form of the foliage and in the spikes, a very grea 
affinity with our Z. Wallichit (the L. elegans of Wall. not 
Desy.); butin other respects thetwo species are widely — 
present plant is a procumbent one, throwing out large 
and strong stolones. The branches, instead of being — 
?nd elongated and simply pinnated, are es s - 
and regularly bipinnate; the leaves are far more mye 
the whole plant has a very remarkable appearance, from! 
Steat size of the leaves upon the stems and primary branches, 
3S compared with those of the secondary ones.
