Wood Horse-tail. A very elegant 

 plant, too spreading to plant out, 

 but may be grown in a pot or pan 

 to sink amongst stones at the edge 

 of greenhouse pool. 



The ordinary " Lycopodium." 



A very hardy species, but does not 

 mat so much. Excellent for 

 feathering up damp stones. 



The blue-tinted Selaginella = S. 

 caesia. Half-hardy. Cuttings put 

 in early in autumn will winter well 

 under a bell-glass, and will make 

 good plants for the following 

 season.
