We have no authentic specimen of Willdenow's L. lasvigatum ; but that author's descriptioi 

 well accords with this plant, that we have no hesitation in considering it to be that species. 

 marck had, however, previously given the name of Uvigatum to a very different Lycopodium; and 

 hence Desvaux has changed the name to L. Willdenovil In habit it is nearly allied to the Stachy- 

 gynandrum scandens, figured by Palisot de Beauvois in his Fl. d> Oware et de Benin ; but that plant 

 has serrated leaves, whereas here both the leaves and stipules are quite entire.
