Lycopodium phlegmaria Linnaeus, Spec. Plant., ed. 2,1564, 1763.
Epiphyte. Stems long and slender, pendulous, more or less dichotomously branched,
intemodes short. Leaves up to about 15 mm. long, mostly in whorls of 3, ovate-lanceolate,
acute, sessile, base subcordate. Sporangia numerous, in the axils of short, bract-like
leaves, in terminal, dichotomously branching spikes.
Occasional on tree trunks or logs in forested areas. Native name, mohe-
mohe.
The only specimen I have seen of this species was collected by S. P. Smith
and is now in the herbarium of the Auckland Museum. It agrees well with
Brown’s description of his variety marchionicum from the Marquesas (B. P.
Bishop Mus., Bull. 89:108,1931).
