natum, but our specimens are so very dissimilar to typical 
forms of that species that 1 am disposed at present to keep 
them distinct. The spikes in our specimens are sometimes 
sessile, sometimes on a short bracted peduncle, which is 
apparently produced by a slight elongation of the rachis, . 
together witn a failure of the thecee to develop in the axils 
of the lower bracts or scales. The fertile branches are fre- 
quently longer than the sterile and sometimes less densely 
clothed with leaves. They are usually forked near the top, 
each branch bearing a single spike. There is no apparent 
tendency either in these or in the sterile branches to become 
flattened, as in L. complanatum.
