THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, EDINBUKGH. 149 
Hort.). This species is the one so long known as S. den- 
ticulata. Professor Braun has shown that this species, 
when introduced, was thought to be the L. denticulaUm 
of Linnaeus, and was even so described by Spring. Met- 
tenius in 1856 (Filices, Hort. Bot. Lips.) discovered that 
it was not L. denticulatum of Linnaeus, but one of the Arti- 
culates section, and described it as L. hortense. Professor 
Braun has identified it with the South African L. Kraut- 
siannm of Kunze (Linnaea, xviii., 1844, p. 114). Spring 
had in his monograph confused S. Kraussiana with S. 
mnioides.

40. Selaginella Galeottii, Spr. (S. Sc/iottii, Hort.) A well-known 
garden species, which has been long in cultivation. It is a 
native of Mexico and Panama. 
41. Selaginella sulcata, Spr. A very common Brazilian species, 
but not in cultivation in this country. Professor Braun says 
it is cultivated in the St. Petersburg: Garden. It resembles 
S. Martensii, and might be easily w „. v «..««m „„,« «,„ mm 
articulated nature of S. sulcata were not kept in mind. 
42. Selaginella affiuis, A. Br., is also included in Brauu's list as 
S. Pceppigiana, Hook, and Grev., but I have not met with 
it. It is a South American species.
