in 1909). The specimens from Lakewood grew on gyp- 
sum soil, alongside a new species of Eriogonum lately 
described by the writers as FE. gypsophilum. 
44, SELAGINELLA MuTICcA D.C. Eaton. Pecos (Stand-

45. SELAGINELLA UnpERWoop1 Hieron. [S. rupes- 
tris Fendleri Underw.]. Santa Fe and Las Vegas Mount- 
tains, Brazos Canyon, Ramah, Folsom, Mogollon 
Mountains, Black Range, Organ Mountains, White 
Mountains. Our most widely distributed species, often 
very abundant. The type was collected near Santa Fe, 
by Fendler. This and the preceding species, together 
with S. rupincola, are very abundant in the Organ 
Mountains, on shaded cliffs or ledges, the three growing 
together, often in the same mats. During the dry 
season the plants are dormant, with the leaves closely 
appressed; but when the rains come in July, August, 
and September, the leaves quickly take on a greener 
hue and spread from the stems. 
A single specimen in the United States National 
Herbarium of a species allied to Selaginella arenicola 
Underw. purports to come from Las Vegas. There 
is considerable doubt, however, whether the label is 
correct, and we prefer to neglect this record until it is 
substantiated by another collection. 
The Resurrection plant, Selaginella lepidophylla, will 
probably be found sometime in southern New Mexico, 
perhaps in the Guadalupe Mountains, for it is known to 
grow in Texas, not far from our southern border.
