nated by a pale coloured recurved catkin. These vary in 
length in the plants from different countries. In the local 
state they are from 1-4 li. 1. so far as I have seen, but may 
be in some cases more, as species from Venezuela and 
Brasil have them in some cases from f-i in. 1. It grows 
both in shaded and exposed places, and on both wet and 
dry ground. 
L. curvatum, SWARTZ, is a stronger species with stiffer 
and flatter leaves, found in Martinique, Guadeloupe and 
Dominica and other parts of the world. 
General distribution — Tropical and subtropical regions 
throughout the world. 
§{ Fructification on much, modified thread-like terminal branches — 
Species 5-6. 
5. Lycopodium aqualupianum, Spring. — Spr. Mong. Lycop. I p. 68. — 
Pendent, repeatedly dichotomous, \-\\ ft. long including the fertile 
part. Stems slender, 4-gonal, reddish. Leaves flat, spreading, ovate, 
4 serial, \ inch long i£ li. vr., blunt-acute, the base narrowed in the 
same way, even-edged. Texture firm ; colour dark green. Fertile por. 
tions, 4-6 inches long ; terminal, 2-3 dichotomous, about 1 li. diameter, 
angular. Bra<5ts folded, keeled, 3-serial, a li. or less 1., very acuminate. 
Appun n. 1,388, Roraima. JENMAN n. 1,476, Potaro 
River, above the Kaieteur Fall, on branches of trees. 
Readily recognised by the flat, oblong-ovate, spreading 
leaves, equal at both ends, and firm though hardly stiff 
slender tassel-like fertile part. The brafts are keeled 
and folded more sharply than in the next species. 
General distribution- -Trinidad, Porto-Rico, Guada- 
loupe, Cuba, and New Grenada. 
6. Lycopodium subulatum, Desv.— Pendent, slender, pliant, repeat- 
edly dichotomous, 2-3 ft. 1. including the fertile portion. Branches strami- 
neous, angular, 3-gonal, hardly thicker than thread. Leaves 3-serial, 
often in whorls, spreading, about i in. apart, and always shewing the 
slender stem between, linear-lanceolate, pointed, the base rounded, |-Jrd
