Notes
The identity of this plant, recogised in Johnson’s Dictionary as originating in China but not recorded in IPNI, remains unclear and I have found no other references to Lycopodium caesium. A handwritten note in a copy of the 1850 catalogue in the Mitchell Library collection appears to clarify the name of this plant as Lycopodium umbrosum, a synonym of Lycopodium myrtifolium G.Forst. which see. The copy of the catalogue is inscribed on the front Wm. Macarthur 23rd Dec. 1854. [ML 635.9m].
