Has. Boggy places; not uncommon.— (v. v.) 
Distris. Victoria, Swan River, New South Wales, New Zealand, South Africa, and many subtropical 
and temperate parts of the globe. 
Stems creeping, rooting, 3—5 inches long, covered with curved, ascending, lanceolate-subulate leaves, } inch 
long and upwards. Peduncle erect, stiff, 1-4 inches long, covered with small, erect, subulate leaves. Spike 1-2 
inches long, erect, cylindrical. Scales peltate, arranged in about six rows, stiff, spreading, broadly ovate below, 
with long rigid points, and scarious, more or less toothed margins, being sometimes nearly entire.— The leaves 
appear to be bifarious in some specimens from South Africa and South America. 
6. Lycopodium clavatum (L.), var. Magellanicum ; caule vage repente elongato, ramis erectis 
fastigiatim ramulosis, foliis lineari-subulatis squarroso-incurvis patentibusve integerrimis, pedunculis termi- 
nalibus solitariis geminisve strictis erectis sparse foliosis, spicis elongatis cylindraceis, squamis peltatis e 
basi trapezoidea subulato-acuminatis recurvis margine scariosis denticulatis, sporis granulatis.— Fl. Antaret.

Has. Moist boggy subalpine places; abundant.—(v. v.) 
DisrRrB. Victoria, New Zealand, and the Antarctic Islands, Cordillera of South America, and cooler 
regions of the Pacific Islands. 
In the * Flora Antarctica” I have discussed at some length the variations of L. clavatum, of which I believe 
this plant to be a southern state, distinguishable in most cases by the quite entire leaves, that have not a hair-like 
point. In the South Sea Islands and the Cordillera of South America it is found passing into the L. clavatum of 
the north-temperate hemisphere, a cosmopolitan plant.—Stems extensively creeping, stout, woody, sending up strict, 
erect, fastigiately branched or panicled branches, 3-12 inches high. eaves imbricated, spreading, incurved or 
‘squarrose, linear-subulate, entire. Peduncles terminal, solitary or two together, strict, erect, more or less leafy, the 
leaves often whorled. Spikes 1-24 inches long, erect, cylindric. Scales peltate, trapezoid and toothed at the base, 
with long recurved points. Spores granulated on the surface.— Very stunted alpine specimens have procumbent 
branches and subsecund ascending leaves. I have seen specimens with short peduncles, approaching Z. densum in 
general appearance, but the form of the recurved scales of the spike distinguishes this at once. 
$ d. Leaves bifarious.
