1. Lycopodium (Phlegmaria) phyllanthum ; caule dichotomo pendulo, foliis quadrifariis 

 subdistichis lanceolatis acutissimis inferne attenuatis vix petiolatis, squamis capsula duplo 

 longioribus superioribus vacuis foliaceis. 



Caulis pedalis et ultra, dichotome divisa, crassitie pennce corvince. Folia numerosa, subquadrifariam in- 

 sorta, tamen directione subdisticlia, sequalia, lateralia patentia, iuferiora et superiora erecta adpressa nitida, 

 subtus pallidiora, exacte lanceolata, aeutissima, rigida, basi atteuuata sed vix petiolata. Spicw termiuales, 

 dicbotoniEe, fere digitales, crassiusculae, subteretes. Squama erecto-patentes, cordato-ovata?, acuminatse, ob- 

 tusiusculae, capsulas excedentes, superiores long-iores, f'oliacea?, vacuse. 



The nearest affinity of this species is undoubtedly with L. Phlegmaria; but its leaves are more decidedly 

 sessile and narrower ; the spikes stouter and broader, in consecpience of the larger and more acuminated scales, 

 which are twice the length of the capsules ; the upper ones barren and larger, approaching in shape and 

 texture to the true leaves.

 1. Marattia alata. Sin. 



We have this from Mr. Macrae, who also gathered it in Oahu. The main stalk is less scaly, and the 

 partial one less winged than in, the Jamaica specimens ; but the foliage is exactly similar.
