2. L. affine. Hook, et Grev. 



Caule erecto subsimplice vel dichotome-ramoso folioso, 

 foliis undique divergentibus imbricatis erecto-patentibus 

 rigido-coriaceis lanceolato-subulatis pungentibus dorso con- 

 vexis margine remote ciliato-dentatis. 



Hab. Mountain of Pichincha, in Peru. Professor TV. 

 Jameson. Caraccas. Mr. Parker. — This species probably 

 holds the place, in the tropical parts of South America, which 

 L. Selago does with us, having been sent about the same 

 time from the above-mentioned stations, by Mr. Parker and 

 Professor William Jameson. It is very nearly allied to L. 

 Selago, but the stems are more elongated, and, what is of more 

 consequence, the leaves are ciliato-dentate, especially in the 

 Peruvian specimens.

4. L. vernicosum. Hook, et Grev. 



Caule perbrevi erecto simplice vel dichotomo rigido, foliis 

 lingulatis vernicoso-nitidis e basi ad apicem insigniter refrac- 

 tis, marginibus pallidis. 



Hab. Courtallam, in the Presidency of Madras. Dr. 

 Wight. — Our specimens of this curious little Lycopodium are 

 from two to four inches in height, simple, or twice or thrice 

 dichotomous, clothed with singularly refracted leaves, so 

 glossy as to appear as if covered with a varnish. The cap- 

 sules are confined to the axils of the upper leaves.

 Til. t. 244. 



Hab. Peru. Humboldt and Bonpland. Near Pasco, in 

 Peru. Mr. Crucksha7iks. — The fructification of L. elongatum 

 of Swartz is unknown, but the description, as far as it goes, 

 agrees with L. crassum, and we have followed Desvaux in 

 uniting it with that species.
