aiFords a very indifferent representation of this Lycopodium, which has the 



and 



largest leaves of any species we are acquainted with. Our specimens are from Dr. Wallich ; 

 coming to us at the same time with a collection of Nepal Ferns, although not marked as such, we 

 judge they may be natives of Nepal also. If so, and being found, according to Swartz, in Bourbon 

 as well as in Japan, this Lycopodium has a widely extended geographical range.
