THE CREEPING SELAGINELLA GROUP. 165 



lectors who find the latter plant should look carefully 

 for this one. 



In 1904 Mr. C. F. Saunders discovered in southern 

 California an apparently undescribed selaginella, of the 

 Selaginella rupestris group, which has not yet been named. 

 In the same year Mr. A. A. Eaton brought back from a 

 trip to southern Florida specimens which have since been 

 referred to the tropical Selaginella Caribcnsis a near ally 

 of the creeping selaginella. This plant is not uncom- 

 mon in the West Indies, but is likely never to be more 

 than a rare or adventive plant in our territory. It is 

 a stronger and heavier plant than the creeping sela- 

 ginella and will be recognized at once from its resem- 

 blance to that species.
