MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 



A few years ago Jenman described a species of Acros- 

 tichum which had previously been confused with Acros- 

 tichum aiireum. To this species he gave the name of A. 

 lomarioides. There is still a disposition among some 

 writers to regard these two species as but forms of a 

 single species, but nobody who has ever seen them in the 

 field would so regard them. Seventy-three years ago 

 Bory de St. Vincent gave the name Acrostichum lomari- 

 oides to another plant. This name, however, has not con- 

 tinued in use, notwithstanding which, W. R. Maxon pro- 

 poses that the plant we now call A. lomarioides be 

 renamed A. excelsum. 



The December (1905) number of the Japanese Botan- 

 ical. Magazine reports that the wood horsetail (Equise- 

 tum sylvaticum) has recently been found for the first 

 time in Japan.
