more uniformly pendent habit, often much greater 
length, (I have gathered it myself 6 ft. 1., though not 
in Guiana) and branches decresent outwards, while some 
of its forms touch taxifolium on the one hand others 
pass quite into linifolium on the other. 
General distribution — Tropical America, both Islands 
and mainland, both states.

— Branches firm, erect or sub-ere£t, or at length pendent, repeatedly 
dichotomous, reaching at length 6 — 12 inches, the spaces between 
the forkings i£ — 2 or 3 inches long. Leaves crowded, many-farious, 
erefto-spreading, usually straight, linear-subulate, i to i inch long, 
often slightly falcate laterally, even-edged. Branches parallel or spead- 
ing. Sporangia copious on the outer branches, reinform, } to * li. w. 
Collected by DRAKE in British Guiana. This is some- 
thing like a small state of passerinoides, of ere6t habit 
and short branches. It is several times forked, but the 
M-hole plant reaches only generally 6 to 8 inches high, 
so that the space between the bifurcations is relatively 
very short. It is a terrestrial species. 
General distribution — Guatemala and Ecuador. 
13. Lycopodium linifolium, Linn.— Fl. Brazil p. 113, Gr. Fl. B. W. 
Ind. p. 647, Plumier, t, 166, C— Branches ribbed, very slender, leafy 
from the base of the primary stem, flaccid, repeatedly dichotomous, 
pendent, reaching 2 feet long or over, final branches few or many, often 
very numerous. Leaves lax, 3-serial, spreading, linear-subulate, often 
rather falcate, 4 — J or 1 li. w., \ — J inch long., herbaceous in texture, 
even-edged. Abundantly fertile, often from the inner furcations. 
Sporangia fully exposed, reniform.

This differs from the two preceding species by its 
slender, thread-like in size, branches, having the leaves 
only 3-farious, the flaccid texture, and loosely arranged
