Description originale : Lycopodium (taxifolium), foliis sparsis 6-fariis lineari-lanceolatis patulis; caule erecto dichotomo, fructificationibus sparsis. Prodr. p. 138.
Habitat ad truncos arborum muscis repletos in Montibus summis Jamaicae. Etiam in Insula St. Helenae lectum vidi.
Radices et Caulis praecedentis, sed minus subdivisus, plerumque supra medium 2-partitus, rarius dichotomus, rarissime simplex; teres, strictus, foliosus. Folia sessilia, sparsa, approximata 6-8-faria, lineari-lanceolata, longitudine 1/2-3/4 partis pollicis, duas lin. lata, utrinque glabra, margine integra, subcartilaginea, planiuscula, subcarinata, patentia, saepe adpressa, fere membranacea. Fructificationes ut in L. squarroso.
Obs. Affinis L. selagini; folia vero majora, planiora et plerumque laxiora habet. Differt a sequente [L. dichotomum Jacq.]: Caule strictiore, foliis latioribus, subimbricatis magisve erectis rigidisve.

Type : Jamaïque, montagnes, troncs couverts de mousses, O.P. Swartz s.n. (T: S? LD1745793?).
Øllgaard et al. (2020): "A remounted specimen, marked as type, but without original annotation, in the type herbarium in S, is possibly the holotype."
