Lycopodium (§Complanata) casuarinoides, Spring , 
Longissime scandens flexuosum, caulibus teretibus nudis vel 
subulato-squamosis, ramis copiosissimis dichotome partitis 
pendentibus rubris rubro-fuscisve comosis anguste linearibus 
compressis, foliis stipulisque conformibus subulatis sublonge 
vaginatis apice longe diaphanis albis raro serrulatis, yaginis 
cum ramo decurrentibus coadunatisque, fertilibus in eadem 
stirpe dicbotome paniculatis omnibus apice spicigeris, spicis 
sursum curvatis cylindraceis uncialibus, bracteis cordatis 
denticuktis acumine subulato diaphano.

another locality for this species, on the authority of Dr. de 
Vriese. 
It is hard to say which of the above published names for 
this remarkable species should have the preference : three of 
them are given by different Botanists to the same plant of 
Cuming (his n. 2346.) Spring’s work bears the date of 1842- 
1849, Presl’s 1844, and Dr. Hooker’s 1845. Spring’s is un- 
questionably the most expressive, particularly for that form 
which Mr. Cuming detected, which almost exactly resembles 
the pendent branches of some slender Casuarina. But like 
too many species of the genus it takes other forms, and our 
n. 2. has the leaves of the ultimate or younger branches very 
much spreading, giving quite a different character to the 
plant. Dr. Hooker’s L. Jilicaule is a pale coloured state, 
with shorter and flexuose branches.
