Hab. Adam's Peak, Ceylon. Dr. Emerson. — This fine 

 plant is nearly two feet in height ; the stem bare of branches 

 below, but furnished with appressed leaves and stipules. 

 The cauline leaves among the branches are horizontally 

 patent, very broad, and the stipules remarkable for their 

 great breadth, and for being so suddenly acuminated as to 

 form an evident mucro. It approaches near to L. atro-viride 

 in foliage, but is a much more erect plant, and of more 

 rigid texture.

Caule erecto inferne nudo aphyllo teretiusculo superne 

 ramosissimo, ramis pinnatis approximatis angulatis, foliis 

 horizontaliter patentibus coriaceis rigidis oblongis subfalcatis 

 brevi-acuminatis basi superiore dilatato inferiore decurrente 

 integerrimo, stipulis lanceolato-acuminatis subcarinatis 

 erectis strictis basi insigniter decurrentibus, spicis brevibus. 



Hab. Madagascar. Dr. Lyall, "n. 265." — This species, 

 although widely distinct from L. pectinatum of Willdenow, 

 and having much smaller foliage, yet resembles it in its rigid 

 texture, and in the general form of the leaves and stipules.

Hab. Penang and Singapore. Dr. Wallich. Madras. Dr. 

 Wight. Dr. S/iuter. — There is a peculiarity in the under-side of 

 the leaves of this Lycopodium, which we have not observed in 

 any other species, namely, that on each side of the midrib, 

 between it and the margin, there is a pale whitish line, ap- 

 parently caused by the epidermis being there loosened or freed 

 from the parenchymatous substance. The stem is rounded, 

 and not unfrequently stoloniferous. The figure in Dill. 

 Muse. t. 66. f. 8, (from the East Indies,) agrees with our plant 

 in general aspect, but is far too small.
