Huperzia australiana (Lycopodiaceae) |
 |
| Huperzia
australiana (fir clubmoss; formerly known as Huperzia selago
and Lycopodium australianum) is a native clubmoss that grows in
many alpine areas, but is never common. It grows as small erect
plants, with rather thick stems and narrow leaves (making it looks a
little like a branch of a fir tree). The most distinctive feature is
that small plantlets often grow among the leaves, giving the plant
an untidy appearance. It does not have sporangia arranged in
distinct "cones" (strobili) as in Lycopodium or Lycopodiella. |
