lycopodiums

Poorer soils carry a dense vegetation of tree heathers, giant senecios Senecio erici-rosenii and S. adnivalis and the giant lobelias Lobelia bequaertii and L. wollastonii, floored with ferns, mosses and lycopodiums and festooned with bryophytes.

Here were pictures that must be brought home from the frame-man, who had never pretended he would send them; there were ferns and lycopodiums in pots which must be brought home from the greenhouse; here were presents for other homes, which must not only be finished, but must be put up in paper and sent before night, so as to appear on other trees.
