APPENDIX. 102. LYCOPODIUM. 533 



Shoots erect, rather copiously and closely branched, the rachises more 

 or less tomentose with ochraceous hairs; ultimate branchlets rather' 

 crowded, terete, + 1 — 5 cm. long, + 2 — 2'/2 mm. diam. including the 

 leaves. Leaves coriaceous, subulate, costate, those of the ventral side 

 (except the higher) more or less deciduously tomentose, those of the 

 dorsal side naked; of the principal rachises remote, straight, erect, 

 adpressed, flattened, thickened at the base, sparingly and very minutely 

 ciholate-denticulate ; of the ultimate branchlets crowded, decurrent, sub- 

 spreading, much incurved, to 2 mm. long, entire, thickened towards 

 the base. Spikes sohtary and terminal on the branchlets. sessile, erected, 

 cylindrical, 3 — 15 mm. long, 2 --3 mm. diam.; sporophylla acuminate from 

 an ovate base, coriaceous, ecostate, fimbriate-ciliate. 



War. laiK.iiis: Branches laxer ; ultimate branchlets liner, to 2 

 mm. diam. ; leaves of the ventral side less copiously tomentose, those of 

 principal rachises whether or not entire ; spikes more slender, cernuous.

Shoots wide-scandent, naked, pinnately branched, the branches 

 copiously compound, 2-farious; primary branches with the branching 

 divaricating, partly pinnate partly dichotomous; ultimate branchlets 

 straight or more commonly flexuose and intricate, to + 5 cm. long, ± 

 4 — 6 mm. diam. including the leaves. Leaves squarrose, subulate, ± 

 3-7 mm. long, coriaceous, naked, the upper part scariose, more or less 

 evanishing; of the stem the largest, upcurved towards the apex; of the 

 stem and principal rachises remote, more or less copiously eroso-denticul- 

 ate ; of the branchlets less remote, incurved at the apex, entire, decurrent. 

 Spikes several on a long, branched peduncle terminal on the primary 

 branches, with distant, adpressed, lanceolate-subulate eroso-denticulate 

 bracts, cylindrical, + 2V2 — 5 cm. long by + 4 - 5 mm. diam. ; sporophylla 

 broadly ovate, eroso-denticulate, with an acuminate, scariose point, at 

 length squarrose.
