This paper contains the description of the coUections of Sela- 

 ginella, sent to the Berlin Botanical Museum by Eimer. A large 

 number of important notes on synonymy and distribution have been 

 added to those species which have been described formerly. In 

 many cases biological or morphological details are given.

 Lycopodium. (The Botan. Gazette. LVIII. p. 61—85. With 28 Text 

 figures. 1914.) 



Two New Zealand species, L. Billardieri Spring, and L. varium 

 R. Br., two South African species, L. verticillatum G. f. and L. 

 Holstii Hieron. and two from Samoa, L. Pfilegniaria L. and L. 

 carinatum Desv. are studied in this paper. In the introduction 

 some notes on habitat and growth are given. The New Zealand 

 material consisted entirely of mature stems and strobili, with no 

 vegetative shoots. Roots were present in the material of L. Billar- 

 dieri. The material of L. verticillatum consisted of several complete 

 mature plants with both vegetative shoots and strobili, while that 

 of L. Holstii was entirel}'' vegetative. The two Species from Samoa 

 were complete. From som^e species: L. varium, L. Phlegmaria 

 and L Billardieri clay modeis were made of the xylem portions of 

 the Stele by studying serial sections. 



The author published the foUowing summary at the end of 

 his paper. 



It may be concluded that the species of Lycopodium siudied 

 are characterized by great variability in the development and struc- 

 ture of the stele. The radial stele may be considered as the pre- 

 vailing type, and as the basis in mosi cases for modification to the 

 other types found. Thcre are found radial, parallel-banded, eres-
