Selaginella canaliculata Selaginella selaginoides Selaginella willdenowii is known for its iridescent colours. There are about 750 known species of Selaginella. [21] They show a wide range of characters; the genus is overdue for a revision which might include subdivision into several genera. [citation needed] Species of spikemoss include:
Selaginella willdenowii is a species of vascular plant in the Selaginellaceae family. [1] It is a spikemoss known by the common names Willdenow's spikemoss [2] [3] and peacock fern [4] due to its iridescent blue leaves. [5] [6] Like other Selaginallales, it is fern ally and not a true fern.
Selaginella lepidophylla is a small, fern-like plant with delicate, green stems and leaves. The plant forms a low, spreading mat, and it reproduces by spores. Selaginella lepidophylla grows in dry, sandy soils in full sun. The striking feature of Selaginella lepidophylla is its adaptation to conditions of prolonged drought in its natural ...
Selaginella kraussiana is a species of vascular plant in the family Selaginellaceae. [2] It is referred to by the common names Krauss' spikemoss , [ 3 ] Krauss's clubmoss , [ 4 ] or African clubmoss , and is found naturally in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa and in Macaronesia . [ 5 ]
As a result of fertilisation, the female gametophyte produces sporophytes. A few species of Selaginella such as S. apoda and S. rupestris are also viviparous; the gametophyte develops on the mother plant, and only when the sporophyte's primary shoot and root is developed enough for independence is the new plant dropped to the ground.

The ferns in this group were originally treated as a family and later as the separate order Ophioglossales. In some classifications, they were placed in a separate division, Ophioglossophyta, but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown the Ophioglossales to be closely related to the Psilotales, and both are placed in the class Ophioglossidae.
Selaginella selaginoides is a non-flowering plant of the spikemoss genus Selaginella with a wide distribution around the Northern Hemisphere. It resembles a moss in appearance but is a vascular plant belonging to the division Lycopodiophyta .
Selaginella apoda adventitious and primary roots contain a root cap at their tips, have the ability to branch when growing, are white, and possess root hairs, located in close proximity to the tips. Selaginella apoda primary root system contains only three single root strands; as such, the system is ailing, for it also does not branch ...
