W e are indebted to Mr. Fraser for specimens o f this curious L ycopodium , gathered at the Bay o f
Islands, New Zeeland. I t has stipules both on th e upper and imdcr side o f th e branches, aud these
are very small in proportion to th e siz e o f the folia g e , and do n o t alternate with the leaves, as is
generally the case with th e stipulated species o f this genus. T h e whole plant is o f a peculiarly
tough and rigid nature, and quite unlike any other species o f Lycopodium with whicii we are
acquainted.
