The East Indies promise to outvie the far-famed Western Indies in the number and beauty of 
their Ferns. Dr. Wallich's collection alone includes more than four hundred distinct species ; and 
of these the greater number were collected by the personal exertions of Dr. Wallich himself. In 
Lycopodia, Dr. Wallich's Herbarium is peculiarly rich; and the present is only one among many 
new ones of that genus, which the generous conduct of the Honourable the Directors of the East 
India Company and of Dr. Wallich gives us the opportunity of figuring.
