116 ON THE SELAG1NELLAS CULTIVATED IN 
fruit peculiarly curled. Mr. Moore has it in the Botanic 
' Garden, Chelsea, labelled S. Japonica. It is an undescribed 
species, and I have accordingly allowed Mr. Moore's name 
to stand. It is not to be confounded with S. involvens, 
Spring, a species newly introduced from Japan by the 
Messrs. Veitch, and one of the Rosulatte. 
22. Selaginella erylkropus, Spr. (Z. umbrosum, Hort., S. Warsze- 
wiczii, Hort. Veitch.) A small-leaved, red-stalked species 
from South America ; not uncommon in collections. 
23. Selaginella viticulosa, Kl. (S. reticulata, Hort. Jackson, 
S. erythropns, Hort. Veitch.) A very pretty species, not 
unlike S. erytkropus, but the stalks are green, and the un- 
der-surface is a beautiful silvery-white colour. It is a 
native of Columbia, in South America. 
24. Selaginella flabellata, Spr. A native of the West Indies and 
South America. Apparently rare in collections. 
25. Selaginella conferta, Moore. A very pretty species, intro- 
duced from Borneo by the Messrs. Veitch. 
26. Selaginella hamatodes, Spr. ($. Jtlicma, Karsteniana, Hort., 
S. Warszetoicziiy Hort. Edin.) A red-stalked species from 
Columbia, South America ; easily distinguished from S. 
erytkropus by its large size, more robust habit, and much 
larger and more distant leaves. 
27. Selaginella Griffithii, Spr. Borneo. Introduced by the 
Messrs. Veitch, but still rare in collections. 
28. Selaginella Lyallii, Hook, and Grev. A very distinct spe- 
cies, from Madagascar, and not easily confounded with any 
other at present in cultivation. 
29. Selaginella Wallichii, Spr. A very elegant species, intro- 
duced from Penang by the Messrs. Veitch, and now exten- 
sively cultivated. It is closely allied to the next species. 
30. Selaginella Lobbii, James Veitch. Very close to S. Wal- 
lichii, but the leaflets more distant, and the folia minora 
more lanceolate. It is also handsomer," and is probably 
the finest Selaginella in cultivation. It was sent home 
from Borneo by Mr. Lobb, collector for Messrs. Veitch and 
Sons.
