232 Maxon A New Lycopodium from Guatemala. 



broadly triangular-ovate, acuminate, deeply cucullate, carinate, the stout 

 beak exceeding the sporangium about 0.5 mm.; sporangium orbicular- 

 reniform, with a deep narrow sinus. 



Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, No. 408,034, collected near the 

 Finca Sepacuite", Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, March 28, 1902, by O. F. Cook 

 and R. F. Griggs; collectors' number 251. 



The second specimen referred to was collected by Robert Hay and the 

 writer, on the trail between Sepacuite" and Secanquim, at an altitude of 

 about 1,000 meters, in Alta Verapaz, January 12, 1905, No. 3268 (U. S. 

 National Herbarium, No. 473,235), from a tree trunk in the humid forest 

 region. 



Lycopodium dichaeoides may be distinguished from L. aqualupianum by 

 its broader and more obtuse leaves, its concealed venation, and especially 

 by its short stout strobiles which are closely aggregated in dense clusters 

 and are from one-fifth to one-twentieth as \of\g as those of L. aqualupianum. 

 The sporophylls too are shorter, stouter and relatively much broader.
