Hab. Demerara. Mr. J. Ankers, in Herh. Parker. — Of this 

 new species of Lycopodium we have only seen a specimen 

 in Mr. Parker's Hei'barium, and it is very distinct from all 

 that we are acquainted with. The stems are from four to six 

 inches long, regularly bipinnate, below sometimes tripinnate, 

 the primary branches long, the secondary ones short, and 

 bearing the spikes : all of them having equally-sized leaves, 

 the whole of a bright green colour. The most remarkable 

 peculiarity about this plant is, that the scales which form the 

 resupinate spike and subtend the capsules, scarcely differ in 

 form, size, and colour, from the leaves and stipules, of which, 

 indeed, they are at all times a continuation ; but in the other 

 species of the Platystachya tribe, the scales which correspond 

 with the stipules undergo as much change as the scales in the 

 preceding section of the Stachygynandra.
