PRETZ: FLoRA OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 75 
LYCOPODIUM INUNDATUM L. 
In an open, sandy, springy bog at the head of Black River, 
17% miles east by northeast of Mountainville, on the South Moun- 
tains, southeast of Allentown, July 27, 1900, Dowell 860; Kitta- 
tinny Mountains, north of Lehigh Furnace, September 22, 1907, 
967; and north of Slatedale, September 22, 1907, 977; moist area 
in quarrylike exposure of Hardyston sandstone on Lehigh Moun- 
tains, along Lehigh River, between the road and railroad °4 mile 
northeast of Strassburg, October 29, 1910, 3o4I. 
Rare excepting at the station north of Lehigh Furnace, which 
consists of a very limited boggy area heading a rivulet, where a 
spring seeps out over an old lumber trail. In the cold sphagnum 
and grass the plant is found. The habitats at the other stations 
are similar. All are on sandy soil formation and are indifferent 
to shade, growing equally well without the protection of grasses, 
etc. Trailing stems sometimes branched, in luxuriance 9 cm. long 
with fruiting stems 9 cm. high. Fruiting stems less than 4 cm. 
high have been collected. 
Apparently the only records for this species in Pennsylvania 
south of the Kittatinny Range are from Lehigh County. 
LycopopiuM LucIDULUM Michx. 
Frequent and usually abundant, sometimes in patches of pure 
association, in cold shaded bogs and similar situations along stream- 
lets, on the Kittatinny and South Mountains. Not infrequently 
very abundant locally. Has been collected in the vicinity of a 
cold shaded springhead on ‘“‘shale’’ along the Jordan Creek,14 
miles west to northwest of Kernsville, November 6, 1910, 3094, 
and farther up stream it occurs sparingly on the moist wooded 
slopes facing north. Sometimes luxuriant, exceeding 2.3 dm. in 
height, but usually between 1 and 2 dm. high. F reely fruiting 
in fall. Evergreen. 
LYCOPODIUM OBSCURUM L. 
A frequent species on the Kittatinny and South Mountains, 
often locally abundant. Apparently less frequent on limestone 
and shale but to be expected throughout. Plants 2.4 dm. high 
are rather above average luxuriance. Collected in ripe fruit from 
late August to late November. Evergreen.
