on long stalks, pale yellow. Scales on the stalks irregularly dis- 
posed in whorls. — Heathy places. P. VII. VIII. Common Club- 
moss. 
2. L. annotinum (L.) ; 1. scattered lanceolate mucronate ser- 
rulate, spikes sessile solitary terminal, scales roundish with an 
attenuated point membranous and jagged. — E. B. 1727. — St. 
prostrate, long. Branches rather long, erect, each year's growth 
marked by a spot where the leaves are adpressed. Spikes cylin- 
drical, greenish-yellow, not persistent as supposed by Smith. 
— Stony mountains. Rare on Glyder Fawr, Caernarvonshire. 
Common in the Highlands. P. VIII. E. S. 
3. L. alpinum (L.) ; I. in four rows imbricated acute keeled 
entire, spikes sessile solitary terminal, scales ovate-lanceolate 
flat, branches erect clustered forked level-topped. — E. B. 234. — 
St. prostrate, long. Fertile branches usually twice dichotomous, 
each division ending in a short cylindrical yellowish-green spike 
rather thicker than the branch. — Elevated mountains. P. VIII. 
Savin-leaved Club-moss. 
4. L. Selago (L.) ; I. in eight rows crowded uniform linear- 
lanceolate acuminate, caps, not spiked but in the axils of the 
common leaves, st. erect forked level-topped. — E. B. 233. — St. 
short, erect or slightly decumbent, densely leafy. No separate 
spikes. At the extremity of the stems a few curious viviparous 
buds may usually be found ; they are well illustrated by Mr. 
Newman (Phyt. i. 84.). Occasionally the stems in sheltered 
situations become much elongated. — Heaths, chiefly on moun- 
tains. P. VI.— VIII. Fir Club-moss. 
5. L. inundatum (L.) ; I. scattered linear acute turned upwards, 
spikes terminal sessile leafy solitary upon short erect branches. 
— E. B. 239- — St. short, prostrate, rooting. Branches few, sim- 
ple, short, erect, fertile. — Boggy heaths. P. VIII. IX. 
6. L. selaginoides (L.) ; I. scattered lanceolate ciliated, spikes 
terminal solitary sessile leafy upon short erect branches, caps, of 
two kinds — E. B. 1148. — St. prostrate, much branched, rooting, 
slender. Flowering branches simple, short, erect. In addition 
to the 2-valved thecae which occur in all our species, this plant 
produces others which are 3-valved and contain 3 or 4 large 
grains. — Boggy spots chiefly in mountainous places. P. VIII.
