Species of spikemoss From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Selaginella deflexa, commonly known as deflexed spikemoss, is a non-flowering species of plant in the spikemoss genus Selaginella and is in the subgenus of the same name. It is closely related to Selaginella selaginoides which is the only other member in its subgenus.[1] It is endemic to Hawaii and grows primarily in the wet tropical biome[2] from 1,050–1,500 m (3,440–4,920 ft). can be found on all major islands except for Lana'i.[3] It is usually found growing in wet moss. Unlike most members of Selaginella, S. deflexa does not have rhizophores along its stem. It gets its name from its reflexed leaves which point outwards.
