Allied Plants.—The spores of other species of Lycopodium aresometimes collected with those of L. clavatum, as fir club moss (); stiff club moss (L. annotinum); bog club moss (L. inun-datum), and the ground pine (L. complanatum). From the latteran alkaloid, lycopodine, has been isolated. A toxic alkaloid, pili-ganine, has been obtained from piligan (L. Saururus), growing inBrazil. L. polytrichoides, of the Hawaiian Islands; L. rubrum, ofVenezuela; L. cernuum, of the Tropics, and L. Selago of Europe,are also employed in Fig. 15.—Spores of various species of Lycopodium. A, B, reticulated sporesof Lycopodium clavatum; C, D, spores of L. phyllanthum marked bypores; E, F, spinous spores of L. densum; G, H, J, spores of L. inundatumwith wavy reticulations.—After Pritzel. Adulterants.—Lycopodium is sometimes admixed with pine pollen,starchy materials, and various inorganic substances, as sulphur, talcand gypsum. A recent adulterant of Lycopodium has been found toconsist of corn starch which had been treated in a special mannerand then colored with methyl orange. An artificial lycopodium isprepared by treating Bordeaux turpentine (galipot resin) at near themelting point with dry ammonia, the resulting product being thendried and powdered. The fragments are irregular, transparentand are detected by means of the micros
