 OPHIOGLOSSUM L. 



O. vulgatum L. Adder' s-Tongue Fern. Occasional in moist, 

 grassy openings of woods in northern Chenango county, Coville- 



LYCOPODIACE/C. 



LYCOPODIUM L. 



L. lucidulum Michx. Shining Club Moss. Hemlock Club-Moss. 

 Common in cold dark, woodlands. In appearance likened to the 

 hemlock Bulblets, from which new plants are produced, are 

 often borne in the axils of the upper leaves. 



L. annotinum L. Stiff Club Moss. Rare. Balsam swamp. 

 Pharsalia, Coville. Along Pierce Creek, two miles south of 

 Binghamton, Clute. Low ground, one mile north of Apalachin. 

 Fentw. The only recorded stations. 



L. obscurum L. Ground Pine. Plentiful in moist, rich woods. 

 In appearance somewhat like a miniature pine tree, especially 

 the variety dendroideum, which frequently occurs. This and 

 the two following species are much used in decorations for the 

 winter holidays. 



L. clavatum L. Common Club-Moss. Running Pine. Plentiful 

 throughout. Found in open woods, thickets, and along bushy 

 roadsides. Stem creeping extensively, with similar ascending 

 leafy branches; fruit borne in conspicuous cylindrical spikes, 

 two or three on a slender peduncle. This species particularly 

 loves the rocky uplands. 



L. complanatum L. Ground Pine. Running Pine. Cedar Club- 

 Moss. Common in rather dry soil. In appearance this species 

 has been likened to the cedar. Fruit as in the preceding. The va- 

 riety chamcecyparissus, with narrower and more erect branches, 

 is occasionally found with the type. 



SELAGINELLACE/E. 



SELAGINELLA Beauv. 



S. apus (L. ) Spring. Creeping Selaginella. Common in pas- 

 tures by the river at Unadilla Forks, Brown. The only station. 

 This species very much resembles a moss, and has doubtless been 

 overlooked in other parts of our range.
