DariinG: Lycopopiums oF HARTLAND VT. 51 
Swamp, on a rocky hill, specimens of a Lycopodium whose 
peduncles bore two, three, and four spikes, similar to 
those of the Hart Island plants, but whose branches re- 
sembled those of L. complanatum L. The branchlets 
were broad and flat, as in the latter species; but the leaf 
tips were far more spreading, even bristling. 
Dr. Ezra Brainerd, of Middlebury, Vt., in 1910, ex- 
pressed his observation of the apparent ihigihie of L. 
tristachyum and L. complanatum characteristics in speci- 
mens from N. Hartland and Hart Island. In the Spruce — 
Swamp form, the crossing of these two species is even 
more strongly suggested. The soil of Spruce Swamp is, 
in places, a dry loam, somewhat like that of the Eshqua 
Bog’s outer limits, where the rocks are Conway schists. 
Now, the question is, Does Lycopodium complanatum um L. oe 
grow in Hartland? If so, it might eross with L. tristachy- oe 
um Pursh. Mr. W. H. Blanchard bas deseribed, in Rho- ae 
dora for October 1911, a station of it, true to the t yPe, 
which was discovered May 7 ,; 1910, by Mr. be G.I uge, 
in the Lull Brook valley, near x Ms
