Lycopodium habereri sp. nov. 



Rootstocks buried, stout, yellowish; branches 30 to 50 cm; long, 

 widely divergent, procumbent but superficial and very leafy through- 

 out; pale green or slightly glaucous, not crowded, dorsi- ventral ; 

 the divisions 1 to 4 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 mm wide, all clothed with 

 distant, minute, scarcely imbricated-appressed awl-shaped leaves in 

 4-ranks with decurrent adnate bases, the lateral ones with spinulose 

 spreading tips, the ventral ones almost obsolete, subulate, 1 mm 

 long; the lateral leaves averaging 4 mm distant on the leafy 

 branches; peduncles elongated, 12 to 18 cm long, 2 or usually 

 4-spiked, with a few distant subulate scales which are in whorls 

 of 4 (approximately), about 1.5 cm distant, subulate, 2-3 mm long: 

 sporophyls pale green, orbicular-ovate, 1.5 to 2 mm broad with 

 thin scarious margins, the apiculate tips spreading when mature. 



Rich soil, shade of hemlocks, town line between New Hartford 

 and Kirkland, Oneida county (7 miles south of Utica). Dr J. V. 

 Haberer, October 24, 1907. No. 3022. Type in the herbarium of 

 the New York State Museum. 



This species has been known to Doctor Haberer for several years 

 as very distinct in habit and general appearances from either L. 

 tristachyum or L. flabelliforme (Fernald) Blanchard, 

 its nearest relatives. From L. flabelliforme, it differs 

 chiefly by its distant leaves with spreading tips and its green, or- 

 bicular, apiculate sporophyls with scarious margins. The late Mr 

 Gilbert, an authority on ferns and fern allies, considered it a good 

 species, as did Prof. L. M. Underwood, to whom a specimen was 

 submitted by Doctor Haberer shortly before Professor Under- 

 wood's death. According to Doctor Haberer, duplicates of this 

 collection are in the National Herbarium and the Gray herbarium. 



Lycopodium inundatum Linn. 



This species occurs at several localities throughout central New 

 York although its range is given in the books as sandy shores from 

 eastern Massachusetts to Maryland. It is particularly abundant in 

 the low, sandy pine and oak barrens east of the head of Oneida 

 lake, near Rome, east of Oneida, town of Gray (Herkimer county) 

 and reported from Centerville, Onondaga county, by Mrs Goodrich. 

 Also occurring in the "Lily marsh" near Oswego (Sheldon, 1880, 

 and House, no. 5800, 1914). Sand Lake, Rensselaer county (Peck) 

 and Mount Skylight, Adirondack mountains (Peck).
