Descriptive Notes on Papuan Plants, ?5 
Selaginella flabellata. 
Spring, Monogr. Lycopod. ii. 174. 
Flj-River; D’Albertis. 
This, according to Grisebach’s definition (Flora of the Brit. West 
Ind. Isl. 646) is the original Lycopodium flabellatum (L. Sp. PI. 1105). 
The cilia and serratures are absent in our as in many conspecific plants 
from other localities. 
Selaginella caudata. 
Spring, Monogr, Lycopod. ii. 139. 
Fly- River ; D’Albertis. 
The secondary ramification is less regularly pinnate than in the 
preceding species, the leaves are larger and those of the anterior series 
mucronate. I draw to this species Lycopodium D’TJrvillei (Bory, Voy. 
de la Coquille, Bot. 247, t. 25) although analytic details in the illustra- 
tive plate are wanting. 
Selaginella caulescens. 
Spring, Monogr. Lycopod. ii. 158. 
Fly-River ; D’Albertis. 
OPHIOGLOSSE^. 
Helminthostachys Zeilanica. 
Kaulfuss, Enum. Eil. Chamias. 28, t. 1. 
Fly- River ; D’Albertis. Port Moresby ; Goldie. 
SCHIZ^ACE.^. 
Lygodium Japonicum. 
Swartz, Synops. Eilic. 154. 
Fly-River; D’Albertis. 
Imperfect specimens of an other Lygodium occur in Signor D’Albertis’ 
collection. These may belong to one of the numerous forms of L. dicho- 
tomum (Sw. 1. c.). 
SCHIZA5A FoRSTERI. 
Sprengel, Anieitung zur Kenntniss der Gewgechse, iii. 175.
