 Wight, in Herb, (fide Wall. Cat. n. 2187.) 



Hab. Madras. Dr. Wight. This very fine species o^ Lyco- 

 podium, which appears to extend to some feet in length, has, in 

 the general form of the foliage and in the spikes, a very great 

 affinity with our L. Wallichii (the L. elegans of Wall, not 

 Desv.); but in other respects the two species are widely different. 

 The present plant is a procumbent one, throwing out large 

 and strong stolones. The branches, instead of being narrow 

 and elongated and simply pinnated, are broadly lanceolate 

 and regularly bipinnate ; the leaves are far more flaccid, and 

 the whole plant has a very remarkable appearance, from the 

 great size of the leaves upon the stems and primary branches, 

 as compared with those of the secondary ones.
