c. P4 cm. lata?) lanceolate longe acuminate, basi subito angustate et 
breviter decurrentes, margine anguste callose. Textura coriacea; 
pagine glabre nitentes ; vene et areolatio ex utraque pagina mani- 
feste, venis rectis vel sinuolatis marginem haud attingentibus. Sori 
superficiales lineares (rare interrupti) inter venas singulariter dis- 
positi e costa ad marginem percurrentes. 
Sogere, 3200 ft., on rocks, 290. 
Very near P. Feei Mett., but differing in the white-coated 
rhizome with subulate scales, the areolation distinctly visible on both 
surfaces of the frond, and the sori reaching both costa and margin.

Lycopodium ingens Grepp, sp. n. Planta epiphytica gigantea. 
Caulis robustus 135 cm. longus, basi 6 mm. versus apicem 1 mm. 
crassus, cum foliis 2*5-4 cm. crassus, ter quaterve furcatus. Folia 
longissima (25-31 mm.) conferta erecto-patentia coriacea ovato- 
lanceolata longe subulato-acuminata versus basin c. 6 mm. lata, mar- 
ginibus integris valde involutis, postice straminea sulcata, antice 
zhglauca nervo prominente. Spicae 15-25 cm. longae, ±2*5 cm. 
latse ; sporangia in axillis foliorum elongatorum, quae caulinis omnino 
subsimilia sed confertiora breviora viridia sunt, disposita. 
Sogere, 1800 ft., epiphytic on trees, 142. 
This specimen approaches L. Dalhousianum Spring, but is at 
once distinguished by its great size and robust habit and by the long 
subulate leaves and sporophylls. The transition from stem to spikes 
is very gradual.
