Jones et al., (1969) presented a list of Pteridophytes, including four species of Lycopodium, found in Mississippi based on collections made during the Mississippi Flora Project. They also called attention to certain ferns and primitive vascular plants not found and indicated specifically that Lycopodium cernuum L. should be searched for, in view of distributional data given for the species by Wherry (1964), Lowe (1921), and Small (1938). A study of pitcher plant bogs in Mississippi by Eleuterius and Jones (1969) also failed to yield L. cernuum.
