We are indebted to Mr. Fraser for specimens of this curious Zycopodium, gathered at the Bay of 
Islands, New Zeeland. It has stipules both on the upper and under side of the branches, and these 
are very small in proportion to the size of the foliage, and do not alternate with the leaves, as is 
generally the case with the stipulated species of this genus. "The whole plant is of a peculiarly 
tough and rigid nature, and quite unlike any other species of Lycopodium with which we are 
acquainted.
